The cameras kept clipping through the walls and roof trying to get a good shot of her at this size, and pulling the focal length gave too much of a fishbowl effect.
Swapped out the Inspiration Room set for the old skylit loft. Also tweaked the figure. Currently seeing where the limits lie, hanging more cams.

Welcome to the first SaturDAZ of 2023!
Hen na Onee-san, aka Hennanee, Timeskip/Transformed Senko
So, we'll kick things off with a compromise: I can't do anorexic, but here's your slim start.
[Update 11:48am] #2 This is where I would have started - probably about 175 pounds at 5'6".
[Update 3pm] More stages, with a nude test render thrown in for good measure.

I wanted to keep the Soror Octarine character concept active in some way, so I migrated her characteristics from Kaede over to Asuka. Kaede was going in a completely different direction as a result of a stream of consciousness piece I wrote about her character.

I wanted to get around to Asuka, but it'll have to wait for the weekend.

In the past 8 years I've created over 30 characters, about half of those have some sort of development, naming, and backstory. This series is an attempt to organize some canon around these characters to make them easier to use going forward.

Thank you for your support, welcome and "welcome back" for some.
I'll post some renders today between Blender tutorials.
I have to be completely honest, 2022 was rough. The Patreon campaign was only really sustainable 2 months out of the year and I threw everything I could into promoting. I have to temper my pace in 2023, see where we are in June and set limits accordingly. There wi...

One last quickie before I enter Party Mode. I chose expressions and poses that convey my mixed and variable feelings about the future.

Just a random high quality render to accompany some random thoughts. A new calendar year meant a lot more to me when I was younger. As an adult, the rhythms of change take place at any point on the calendar, and the promise of a newly minted year number has diminished in significance. Most of the changes I resolved to make began over the last 6 weeks.
At the same time, I wish you all a Ha...

I'm quickly learning the limits of SquishyHuman. Without an in-depth understanding of its simulation settings, using this in Expanimations will be an issue. So many sessions of trial and error plus long simulation times make finding the sweet spot quite a challenge. The hip crests on Angela were the result of squish with too much spring, and it takes up to 40 minutes to find out if I've arrived...

I purchased the DAZ add-on Squishy Human and it turned out to be a bit different than I expected but still worth it. It's a Genesis 8 or 8.1 figure with separate simulation settings for flesh, bone, breasts, and buttocks. Somehow I ended up making a photorealistic, 10-year timeskipped Senko for the test character. The belly collides with the lap nicely, time to explore the possibilities!

I worked through some Blender tutorials that, while useful, gave me no insights into why I have so much trouble getting my characters into Blender for animation. Realizing that this was the first actual day of vacation time, I committed to do nothing like work for the rest of the day. I'm just throwing ideas at the wall and developing what sticks.

Thank you for choosing to pledge at this level, especially if you've done so continuously. It has always been challenging to create new Expanimations in a way that was fair and fun for both artist and audience, and I know all too well that the quality varies wildly. I'm working hard to bring my characters to Blender in the hopes of more animation freedom, it just takes time to get through the t...

Animation ideas were hard to come by, but I'm going to roll with what I've got now.

There are a few core experiences that lie at the root of my interest in this art niche. Seeing the original Violet Beauregard Blueberry transformation scene on TV as a kid certainly left an impression.

Fooling around and coming up with new material. Here's a size comparison, 500-pound peargirl against a ton of berrygirl.

I felt compelled to make some adjustments and share a re-render of this scene with my subscribers. Adjustments were made to improve the hand and foot posing, belly shaping and buttock compression for realistic sitting. Breasts were brought together and compression morphs were tuned. Then I went for a more "kuudere" facial expression and reduced the arm and shoulder muscularity a little (Senko r...

Just finished watching Akiba Maid War, highly recommended comedy that celebrates the "hard-boiled" movie genre with maids instead of Yakuza. Takes itself seriously at all the right moments, the rest is an absurd delight. Couldn't resist the pun on the Japanese title, "Akiba Meido Senso".

Thanks for your support, as always. As many of you know, I've mostly stopped journaling at deviantArt to reserve my long and personal ravings for people who cared enough to share their money with me.
I'm up-to-date with the "Henjyo" (Weird Girl) manga and its spin-off series. It's a great, off-kilter romcom that I love due to a wry nostalgia. The first big girl I dated in my teens was Wei...
