Hey guys,

so I figured it would be good to talk about 2024. The main project of this year was Corporate Training 2. I am fairly happy with how it turned out from technical side, with the lighting and rendering. I was also able to incorporate more reference from voice actresses which helped a lot with animation, but on that later.

I was a bit surprised with how some of my artistic decisions became controversial. From what I understand, people found the Bimbo character unlikeable and were also disappointed that she never became properly 'rigid'. Also that she didn't flip the script in the end like in CT1.

All of these were on purpose, I wanted the bimbo to be somewhat annoying for the satisfaction of Rebecca dominating her. I also wanted Rebecca to be the proper boss this time, so she can show her 'true power' 😅. And I wanted the bimbo to be really huge, but not overshadow Rebecca, so I thought her staying soft would be a fun compromise and I really liked the visual.

Some of you however disagreed with (some of) these choices and it brings me to a question if I should listen to the majority more or just keep doing what I feel like. I'd say it's very important for me to be interested in the project, which means doing new things and often time going against the grain. But I also don't want to annoy fans and be contrarian just for the sake of it.

I am interested in your opinion, maybe in the future I could keep the bigger projects more 'mainstream' (if there is such thing for a futa artist lol) and do the 'weirder' stuff in smaller project?

Another thing is that every time I rewatch older project, I find issues with the animation. I sometimes genuinely cringe and think 'oof that could have used a bit more work'. To combat this I decided to watch my animations more before rendering and leave more time for adjustments. Every day before I start working I try to rewatch everything I animated so far and try to adjust things while they still can be touched up, I am hoping it will improve my works for the future.

I am also trying to focus more on quality than quantity. In the short term this will affect my output, but I am hoping it will improve my animation.

This year I also took part in several animation challenges, which are like the opposite of that, focusing on doing something as fast as possible, which I think is a nice change of pace and challenge, also possibility to focus on one aspect of the work.

Overall, I think I could have done better, but I also think I am identifying my issues and working on them and I am optimistic about upcoming year and I am excited to work on new projects and I wish everyone successful new year!

I think you should just do what you want to do. Nothing would make quality suffer more than not being invested and interested in your work. I enjoy it when creators do new and weird things. If I wanted to watch "mainstream" porn, I wouldn't be subscribed to a channel that does purely futanari content.

Hoping for more futa x futa content!

Happy New Year! I think you should do what you like animating. If you're just doing it to appease people, I think you've lost sight of what makes your animations fun for you.

I found the bimbo\ bosses daughter? Kind of hot but I also miss the girl from the first episode Doubting an episode 3 will be in the works any time soon but would be great to see them both fight for office sex

i think bimbo was such great character design that people wanted to see her do more, including getting fully hard and also top. Id say keep doing what you want to do and if time permits it maybe do a super short couple seconds animation that also appeals to the fans afterwards.

Ramon Butts

I think it was perfect how you had it. Flipping the roles would have been a little repetitive from the previous video. Plus if the roles were flipped it would have made Rebecca look more of a push over. Maybe go giving the bimbo a new scenario where she is the dominant would be better. Plus the bimbo with the larger penis was a very nice touch!

People are entitled to an opinion but i hope you don't let it dampen your artistic efforts, Rikolo!

Personally I like Corporate Training 2, I love what you have been creating for a very long time, I have nothing to complain about so content with what you are doing, thank you for all your work and happy new year to you

Berata Nikto

Dude, I like your work when you’re having fun! 🤩 Go for it!

I think it would’ve been even more impactful and shown Rebecca as ever more dominant if the bimbo had been full. The bigger the size the more impressive the act.

Jim Kirk

The solution is simple. Bring back the Bimbo in a new story and make her the hard dom. Maybe she can redeem herself that way as a character. Otherwise, compromising your art to please the most people, almost never works out in the long term. But you can try here and there. Still a big fan here.

I wrote a really long comment when CT2 came out that I won't repeat here but basically it's saying that this is my favorite animation of yours. I don't know where the backlash is coming from. Is it from Twitter? Forum comments? Discord? (I'm not sure if you have a Discord) With anything I think the haters are gonna be louder than the people who appreciate your work, which is why I try to type up my appreciation whenever i have time. What I'm trying to say here is I don't think we have empirical evidence to prove that these people are indeed a "majority" as you say. Even if they are, I say, don't listen to them. I'm not just saying that under the bias that my taste align with your works. When artists work on things they don't enjoy or are not interested in, that leads to burnout, which leads to animations being left unfinished. We can't let that happen to an artist as talented as you.

Vutaboss

Another comment I'll add: people don't know what they want. They only thing they know is they want more of the same from what they've already seen. Whenever artists put out polls, the choices that win are the things the artist has done already. Whenever artists open up commissions, people only commission more of the same characters/poses that the artist has already animated. Very rarely do people up and say "I want something completely new, something never been done before." What we as a NSFW community need to do is to start trusting artists' artistic vision. You never know if the next thing you cook up will be the thing that people regard as your best work in the future

Some person

Futa x futa content is honestly just weird to me. Didn’t know that many people on here liked flopping dick AND women…

Mimikyubey

I can understand people finding the bimbo "too annoying," but I would rather you stuck with your artistic vision then try to appease a vocal portion of your audience. Here to support you cause I like your work, not theirs.

I had/have a bit of a time enjoying CT2. I find it difficult to accept Rebecca, a self-made woman, accepting someone that oozes entitlement and clear disrespect. This personality mix and the wet noodle shows someone willing to do anything to get what she 'deserves' but derives no joy from it. This could be seen as more disrespect towards Rebecca. And certainly a shallow character. This along with the horrible spoken personality (no offence to the actor) makes this difficult to tolerate. There are plenty of ways to make someone unlikeable. Nails on a chalk board is what was offered. I was really hopping Hanna would barge in and toss the interloper out the office. Through the window would be my preference. Rebecca is a great character. I loved her dialogue in CT2. Hat tip to the voice actor. She is clearly a natural Dom. Someone that gets the better of her without the vengeful spirit (Hana I'm looking at you) would be wonderful to see.

Mit

I personally loved Bimbo, hell I loved her more than Hana, sue me! I loved her from your very first render, and pushed for to keep being called Bimbo. I loved her bitchy attitude & voice. I'll admit the floppiness did nothing for me & I would of loved to it become harder more often but it didn't distract that much as she wasn't doing the fucking. It did seem like you got maybe a little carried away with animating that big ol' snake swinging around for awhile lol I found it quite amusing & added to that particular scene or two. In a way what you did with it being not hard is more more true to life (e.g. 75% of the time they ain't hard in trans porn). But maybe that's just it, people come here for the fantasy and they like rock hard dickles. Personally I feel like you do you, it's still hot regardless to me. Or maybe incorporate it into the narrative if we get to see more of Bimbo, she notices she's getting harder gradually & hates she's getting hard.

Balthir

Personally I would do what you want to do. You got the followers and fans because of that. You can't please everyone, but you can please yourself. The kind of art/projects you want to do and in the way you want to do them will be more beneficial to you in many small ways more than trying to cater to those who want to dictate art but not pay commissions.

iana1908

I hope you continue to do what you want, especially with the CT series which I love. I don't actually care for the work that involves a mutual power dynamic and find the exploration of power dynamics in CT really engaging

Well episode 3 was planned, the ending even teased it, but I kinda put it on the back burner. I'd love to do it eventually tho

Rikolo
>>160079233

Yeah that was my thinking as well, it's called Worg effect, where you have this powerful character on paper but who gets defeated every episode. My thinking was to set her up as a proper boss and maybe knock her down again in 3 :D

Rikolo
>>160100412

Yeah I definitely can't work on stuff I don't fully enjoy long time, but I was thinking maybe reigning in some of my wilder ideas and realizing them in smaller projects :D

Rikolo
>>160100746

Personally, when I was still doing commissions it was some wild stuff, but I get your point

Rikolo
>>160106325

I mean futa in general is weird, let's be honest :D Personally I like both

Rikolo
>>160117709

Haha, sorry she was this annoying to you, the voice was done specifically on my request :D

Rikolo
>>160125560

I guess in my head this is her being hard, she's just so big that she doesn't get fully rigid, you can see it in porn sometimes with really big cocks. But maybe I could play with it in CT3

Vutaboss
>>160100412

At the end of the day, not everyone's gonna like every single thing. And that's fine. Personally, I wasn't the biggest fan of Down the Rabbit Hole. It's not poorly animated it's just not my fetish. But then CT2 was right up my alley. Can't make everyone happy all the time, so the best thing to do is to just be yourself.

TheMadPugger

Any plans for down the rabbit hole part 2

ItsKawaiiNoon

I liked the bitchy character being dominated. I actually enjoyed it more than the original. Would love to see a third where they use the bimbo to fight for dominance

I would say exactly the same. I'm in that group of not into the bimbo-vibe or lack of rigidity, but the size difference was a perfect element. When I saw it flop out I was like, "yep that makes sense!" But continue to be true to your art and what you want to do!
