December hiatus update!
🕑 Added 2024-12-07 09:12:19 +0000 UTCIt's been very fun so far even though I'm currently sick! xD
At least I'm sick during my hiatus so there won't be work to be delayed.
Introduction:
As mentioned in the previous month, I'll be spending this month for many things aside from resting. I'll try to keep it as short as possible so you don't get bored!
These are the main goals of this month:
Get inspired for monster content again
Figure out a style and work on it
Study new tools, features and addons for blender
Rest and be able to recharge my batteries!
Make some content out of the studies and for fun to relax! :3
Get Inspired for monster content again
For a while I haven't been very inspired for monster content and while I try my best it's hard to make good content when you are not inspired. Aside from some classics characters I love like Claire it's gotten quite hard.
I bought lots of games during the Autumn Sales such as bunch of Resident Evils, Halo and other games with monster/aliens as playing a game and learning about the characters and lore really helps a lot so I've been playing through them and getting inspiration here and there! :D
On top of this I'd like to ask you to send me ideas/inspiration material, suggestions and more to help me make better monster content in the "Ideas" channel on Discord!
Figure out a style and work on it
Something that annoyed me for quite a well is how inconsistent my style is xD I feel like I don't really have a style, while I work with many characters of very different style, very often I see my choices in lighting, scenebuilding, composition change a lot over the months. While it's normal to change and wanna change it really bothers me how different animations look each month lol.
So I'm trying to figure out a setup that fits my workflow and style, a setup for the lights to stick to that will not only make my content look better, more consistent, make myself happier but will also make my work even faster since I wouldn't have to come up with a new setup everytime xD
Study new tools, features and addons for blender!
About this I may make a separate post later on because in 4 days I learned more than the last few months LOL I've been studying A LOT, video after video, bought lots of addons during the Black Friday and Revisited old animations to see what could have been done better and study how I can do that better. One of the many things I wanna mention about the last part is that I'm working on improving the look of Cumshots and Squirting since I've been using that a lot, one of the main issues with it was the lack of motion blur as they're they're meshes generated in a geometry node that converts the particles into volume so there's no real movement from the mesh just a constant new generation of mesh in new locations. I may have found a solution to that but more testing are still needed but so far it already looks way better! :D
There's so much to talk about the new things I learned but again, I don't wanna make this post too long, just know that I'm very excited!
Rest and be able to recharge my batteries!
In the last months sometimes I felt quite tired, finishing the schedule on the very last day of the month for many months really made it really hard since I got no rest days for months. There's no doubt that a well rested animator can do better so this month I'll do my best to rest as best I can! Make silly posters, possibly an animation based on the game I'm playing!
As mentioned before I bought loooots of games for the Autumn Sales with the main goal of learning more about the characters and their universe like: Jill, 2B, Lara and many other classics! So hopefully I'll get some cool ideas with them and use them more in future :D
See you soon with more updates!
This being said I'll try my best to keep ya updated! The hardest part being that I hate writing long posts LOL, if you wanna chat or suggest ideas or anything, the Discord server is very cozy! Aside from all this I'm having a greaaaaaat month! Lots of fun, lots of studies and lots of excitement! :D

Claire is a good option to animate in my opinion. Never got bored of watching her.
