Early Summer 2024 WIPs
I’ve got several art projects in the works right now. I’m currently working on commercial products for Renderosity, but I will make time between them to create some new artworks to post here and elsewhere. Here are some previews of the various projects I have in the works:
My first new character for L’Homme in quite a while! I originally created this character for my own use, but some of the higher ups at Renderosity were so impressed by my work on this face morph that they asked me to turn the morph into a full character set and release him at Renderosity. So, I did! Named Winston, this character includes a full range of facial hair options, eye color options, eyelash styles, etc.
The Winston character has been completed, has passed QA testing, and is now in the queue for release at Renderosity. I again don’t recall the exact release date, but it should be in the first half of July.
This is a preview of a set of clothing textures I am creating for Tipol’s 40s Paris for La Femme 2. (I plan on creating clothing texture sets for some of Tipol’s other dynamic clothing for La Femme and La Femme 2 as well; as time allows, that is.) All of the textures in this set will be based on authentic dress patterns from the 1940s era. I also plan on creating a matching Free Stuff addon for Tipol’s 40s Paris Shoes for La Femme 2 since the shoes are sold separately.
I have so far five finished five designs. Mostly finished. I plan to create at least six, maybe eight sets in total for the dress, beret, and belt. I’ll then create the free matching shoes addon. I’m at the moment adding more details to the five designs I have already started and then I’ll see about creating a few more. Once I finish all of the texture work, I’ll then create all of the material presets and after that render all the necessary promotional images. This won’t be out for a while. It all depends on how fast/much I continue to work on it.
Allow me to introduce you to my next La Femme 2 character whom I am naming Maia. In addition to her unique and custom sculpted (not dialed) face morph she has photorealistic textures, a variety of texture options, a full custom body morph, and more.
I have her face and body morphs finished along with all of her base textures and most of her texture options. I just need to finalize the textures, create the presets, render the promos, etc. I’m going to release another character for LF2 first (you can see her further below) and then a clothing texture set and then Maia so I can space out my character releases.
This clothing texture set has been in the works for quite a while. I started on it back in January but am now picking up where I left off. It is/will be a set of athletic style textures and shaders for the Basics for La Femme 2 by Afrodite-Ohki & RPublishing. I have a ton of reference photos of modern athletic wear which I am using to inspire my own designs. Each piece will have matching and interchangeable textures/colors. I created a brand-new special spandex shader based on the look of the aforementioned reference photos. I’ll probably finish this one after all the other projects I have listed on this page.
This little doll will be my next character release after Winston. Her name is Karina and she’s a petite semi-toon doll character. I created a similar character a few years go for V4 and it sold quite well; I’m hoping the same will be said for Karina! I have finished all of her textures, material presets, etc. I am now working on her promotional renders then I can submit her to Renderosity for review. FYI: the head morph loads separately from the body morph. The doll’s scaling is in the body morph injection pose. So, if you don’t want to mess with putting clothing and hair on her differently proportioned body, you can just use the face morph with whatever body you want including the default one.
I am also planning on creating a series of video tutorials which will include how to use some of my products like Karina and the Dream Hair Superfly sets. I have two more characters planned for L’Homme 1 (might save one of them for L’Homme 2 but it all depends on when he is finally released). I have several clothing textures sets that I want to do, and two more unique characters planned for La Femme 2. I am also planning to create a series of video tutorials for Poser including how to use Karina and my Dream Hair Superfly among other things. Of course, I also have a ton of ideas for new artworks in my “Notebook of Ideas” which I am in the process of updating. So, I will hopefully have some new art to share with you all soon! That’s all for now. Thank you for viewing!
