Update (anything you may want to know)
🕑 Added 2020-05-04 22:17:05 +0000 UTCSound effects in animations. Maybe I'll start hiring VA to do voice effects (like the last Ying animation) sound effects aswell. This is a hobby, so I might not do it all the time.
No more monthly polls. The main reason why I'll "remove" polls is because is very hard for me to create something with a specific character, skin and pose without a reference. So polls will be special from now on. (maybe what I could keep is the character poll but besides that the rest will be removed.)
Temporary disabling render commissions. This because I need to adjust prices or limit the slots. There is a lot of work on doing a single render starting from extracting the model, getting the correct textures/maps, adding shaders to every part of the model, modifying to a lewd Model (And make it decently work.) etc. Limiting slots could help aswell since every render I do takes at least 3-4 days to be done (Without adding render time.) and I usually don't have time left to do animations. There's always at least one commission I had to deliver 1 month late due time. (ALSO I consider myself a very slow person! I prefer to clear my mind everyday to see what errors/changes I could do next day.)
Where is the Io & Ying Render from the poll 3 months ago? I have one problem when I tried to make this render and unfortunately I don't have the correct textures and maps for the Io model and getting them is not too easy (there are some new programs i need to learn how to use). Yeah I know I've done many Io Renders in the past but there's an extra detail I could add if I get the correct maps. This doesn't mean I won't do it but until i solve this issue I won't post it.
Why no SMITE animations? The problem with SMITE is that it has a very small public (that's why very few people do SMITE renders) another big thing is that their models (not all of them) are a bit outdated and hard to work with due their limited rigs, textures quality and mesh. In average SMITE models have around 14 facial rigs (paladins models have above 30.). Some of them do look really good imo.
For the next animation or render i'm planning on using Dva model because she is very cute!
Furia, Seris or Maybe Lian may appear in this month aswell!
Using Redgifs instead of Gfycat. Gfycat don't accept adult content anymore that's why I'll start using Redgifs from now on (redgifs is focused in adult content so be aware of that!)
The rest of this post is a personal message, reading it or not doesn't matter.
This free month was amazing it really help me to realise how far behind I'm really are from 3d Content knowledge and that really exites me! I wish I was as good as many people around the world and one day I want to do more elaborated things than just posing a model adding lights and render it because there's levels for everything. That's why i started getting anexty because i feel i'm loosing my time and not because i'm doing nsfw renders (is fun af) but i feel i'm doing the same quality over and over and that's a big lose because if we don't improve someone else will.
I hope you could take this as a recommendation from whatever you are doing or want to do. Remember there's always a way to improve in everything (Even if you feel you know everything, trust me, there's much more.). Sure there's something new to learn and will always be.
Feel Proud of what you are able to do and focus on improving. The time you say "I'll never be as good as he/she" you'll be completely sunken. Better people will always exist because that's relative.

Beautiful message. Man.. its a paradox. If yoh base your work on the public, you create a paradox. You dont do Smite stuff, people like smite less. Less people like smite, less artists do. Its not a good reason. The models ok but some people pulled off renders with old models. I'm sure you can find a way. Also.. you follow only what most people like. You bend over for normies. You have to show appreciation for all. The lack of Ash has personally pretty disappointed me as she is a prime reason I support you. I want to see more Ash from you. You can do better planning with different characters. I know you can, Gecko. Please.
