Hello Everyone! Another Creator's Blog is here. Been a bit since the last time, but let's talk again about what's going on ;)

New Skit! And much more in the pipeline :)

Finally... I published the Guardian Skit after a bit of a delay. Apologies for the wait, as the skit's production coincided with a personal crisis at the time. And as a test, I included a short, sweet animation in the skit.

I hope to do more animations for skits down the line, as it gives the segments some much-needed life, but no promises on this tho, since the animations in DAZ take A LOT to render. (But I might look into importing into Blender to render animations instead 🤔, again no promises.)

Return to form. I hope 🤞...

As some of you know, I have taken several pauses and holds on several projects due to burnout, time constraints, and other reasons I wish not to disclose for personal reasons. This meant that a number of benefits were put on pause, a side effect I seek to rectify when possible.

This, in all intents and purposes, means that a large amount of work is incoming for me, as this is ultimately a 1-man effort. To give some context, here's what I have planned to execute for at least this month, and going forward in the coming months:

Work on new NSFW comics of my own choosing (2 are ER ones that were scrapped previously, but I have since replanned to make them now, with one in WIP). The Character polls ones, I will pause them for a moment to make these others.

Begin the planning of new SFW comics for a few ideas I have.

More YT skits for this month (Idea is to make at least 1-2 if possible, and return to the schedule of regular uploads.)

DAZ Ports of Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Helldivers 2, Warhammer 40K, Elder Scrolls, and more if I can source it.

More and more Collectibles for different characters. (I am considering making Male ones. What do you think?🤔)

Prototype the ideas for Original content.

Try to work on or plan collabs with different creators. (Any takers?)

Create the Renders for LFTN's next 2 chapters, and get them ready for publishing.

All that is listed above is rather simple to say, but I know the amount of work involved will be tough. But do not worry, I am a big boi. (And it just so happens that I have leave to clear this month for work 👀)

I can't hold all these cards!!!

As some of you are aware, especially for the higher tier of members, a new benefit: Exclusive Collectibles!

These were an idea I had while looking for references for The Witcher, and I came across the Romance Cards that I had forgotten from the first game. What makes these collectibles different from the rest is:

All of them are rendered at the higher sample rate of 7500-10000 samples for higher quality.

The models have their details increased for rendering.

I intend to make them a huge collection of different games and fan works. (Who knows? Maybe your OCs can have one too?👀)

Either way, I hope that all of you will like them for both the free and paid versions :) I hope to keep the idea of making a ton of things for everyone on this Patreon :)

Sometimes... You still lose😔...

Now, on to some bittersweet news in terms of this page and my other sites.

It's come to my attention that a number of cancellations occurred this month and the previous one. While not large in scale, it is a number of persons big enough for me to notice.

This is giving me some thoughts on why I am losing members. Perhaps I am not doing enough? I really do not know, as the exit surveys are rather lacking in responses for me to make a consensus. Then again, the world market is rather bad at the moment, so I understand the losses.

And I had also noticed that my YT sub count has been stuck at its current numbers for a while now, which makes a bit more sense, as I have admittedly neglected it for the past month or so. Hopefully, I can fix it soon with a fresh batch of new videos and such. (And the algorithm does need to stop falling asleep ):< )

Overall, I feel a sense of dread when I see a cancellation. As it kind of makes me think that I had sort of failed to provide what a member has signed up for, which I apologize for if that is the case.

But no worries about this little observation; it is simply a little trend analysis that I tend to make for traffic on my sites. But I do want to ask for a flavor if possible:

For past members who have canceled, do drop me a little feedback in the comments for some sensing.

Food for thought: Character deep dives?

Another thought I had was related to TGA/LFTN in general, which I do want to share in some capacity.

And that is a deep dive/analysis into some TGA versions of the Elden Ring characters. This would be a means for me to, overall, explain the idea of the characters that were presented in TGA's context, and explain:

Lore changes and the ideas behind them

Some sheets of designs, body/scarmaps, hairstyles, outfits, and such for reference in case you want to do fan art (I love fan art:D)

Brief on their story, inspirations, and ideas behind their context.

Of course, this is subject to time and interest from myself and others. But let me know what you think; I am open to ideas, and this type of idea is not limited to TGA, it can also apply to more stories that I will eventually make :) And expect them to be included in a character blog.

Overall, another month is down, and this is the 4th Creator's blog I have made so far. As always, thank you all for the support. Simply looking at my stuff is enough for me. Hope you all have a great day, month, and year ahead. :)

Cheers,Ed
