Just a quick post while I'm progressing :) (Patreon)

I have a few more days till I finish part one, so I apologize but it's almost there :) 

Someone is also helping me make it to where the gallery should be accessible in the main menu, something I struggled to do so that's cool.

Anyways, a bit of a trip down memory lane.

A few of you have been here since the very beginning. Like, very, very beginning when Claire started off with a pony tail.

During this portion of my journey, Claire's eyes would randomly go from blue to brown, and many other issues such as poke through and such...

But, did any of you know this wasn't even the original model I chose for my game?

I actually was about to use a default character that was much later aged and had almost zero changes to her!

Pictured below is my first render... Ever!

You can see... my vision was always reddish hair, blue eyes. That was my end goal. This character, however was so plastic looking that I started from scratch, and found Claire :)

I changed her up a bit, but all in all Claire's first model looked like so.

Pretty weird, huh.

Anyways... Long story short, I was driving around today to get my coffee before starting my grind on the game, and I was just thinking about how far I've come in terms of renders and such. It actually made me tear up a bit, I didn't know whether or not to feel proud, or disappointed in where I'm at with my quality of work. 

But, I took a minute to breathe and realized, what mattered was that I improved, and even in my darkest and lowest moments in life, I continued doing so. And now, it's my dream to keep going.

Because I Love Her and Claire are my pride and joy, a creation straight out of my own mind and to me, that's something to be proud of. The game has surely seen tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of laptops and PC's. People all around the world enjoying my work, whether for free or through supporting me, it means the world to me that that's the case.

I just wanted to say, thank you guys.

And here are some random renders I've made over time recently whenever I want to practice something like lighting, cloth posing, expressions, and so one.

This was the very first render of Zoey!

And the last render I ever did of Jenni.

Anyways... that's my little story time for the day I decided I wanted to share with you all. Again, thank you all, and I will be seeing you again here in just a few days :)
