All models free to download!
I did say ages ago that I would release models once I moved on to a newer version. That sort of stopped when I began just updating the current models in place.So, to remedy that, here's the current archive of The Wilderness characters. All of them. In various stages of awful.

Update time!
Let's start with the stuff you're all here for: CONTENT.We've got a few things this month, surprisingly.First, we have Eystri learning just why the Twins are popular with the ladies. They have a "No holes unfilled" policy. Or so Talinn says. Kiel thinks it's a dumb boast, because what exactly do...
New Year New Update
Hopefully, everyone experienced a christmas and a New Year of some description.My holiday period was mixed, let's just say. I started rental of a flat nearer to work, so I was finally about to move from my van after a year and a half of living in it. I'd managed to get a good proportion of my belongings out of ...
Cosmetic Slowdown
Ok, so maybe not entirely cosmetic...If you've been around a while, you probably know the start of this story, so skip ahead for your sanity. For everyone else, I'm technically homeless and have been for about 17 months now. I've been living out of a van I converted into a camper when things looked like the...
Episode 14 - Planetfall (Pt1)
This is an early release version of the episode. It is encouraged to leave feedback, so I can fix the shit bits. It will be properly released next week.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nevyot-KpN7DQ_oCvgQx60Hc81l1R84i/view?usp=sharingBergen was kind of worried. Roane had been pretty emphatic that a team needed to go do...
Pick an outfit
https://forms.gle/Q1CZtCf96E5xBujT6I seem to always kick these things off with an apology for not being present very much, so let's start with the poll and go for excuses after.Hit up the link at the top to chuck your choice in. The background is that Eystri is going to be going on the mission to collect Kyn. At th...
Home Invader (r)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UJPNC83DurYOILczFh4siDteQ8zUf_UW/view?usp=sharingHere's a bit of history.The first things I posted on e621 was this comic called Home Invader. I'd thrown 6 pages together over the course of a day, and I'd only just created the username, so I posted it there.Naturally, severa...
Big update stuff.
I'll be honest, I've sort of neglected Patreon the last few weeks. Rather than dropping stuff on here, I've been firing them up on the Discord instead. Part laziness, part lack of time.For starters, I've been doing a load of work on the next episode, hoping to get something within the next few weeks to ...
Patreon Updates - important
This Patreon has had a rebranding and Facelift! There's a few new things for all you guys.Main PageThe banner has had an update, and all the descriptions got a bit of a tweak. This leads into the next change...TiersYep, we now have tiers.All the tiers have the same access rights, and if you don't want to change...
New walk cycle (and character, and location)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10aAP52pl5__uMtDxejzol7UguPSD-kNq/view?usp=sharingThis afternoon, the last bits I need to do my own motion-capture arrived. I installed all the software then couldn't be bothered to set up the hardware. As others have pointed out, I don't have the space for it. I will still try, ...
Some new developments, and an extra
I have been looking at the feedback gotten so far, and one thing that seems to be a common complaint is robotic movements of the characters. So I've taken a step toward fixing that. I can't guarantee it'll be immediate or even any good, but I feel it's worth the attempt.I've bought an XBox One Kinec...
Kind of disappointing - feedback
https://forms.gle/PxtsHjb6P6SiwJ8S9I know it's bad to get annoyed about people not looking at stuff you do, but at the same time, after 4 months of graft to get the biggest episode yet out, it's really disheartening that the counter on e621 went up to 35 in 24hrs, and then has been sat there for over a day.I...

New episode tomorrow! Probably.
I honestly thought it had been longer, but turns out the last one was mid-april, so 4 months isn't the worst. Hey, Prequel hasn't updated since december!The final sequence rendered overnight, been at work all day and now I'm working on the edit. It should be done by tomorrow, with the bulk of editing tonigh...
Final stretch!
Like literally. That's the character animation now all wrapped up for this episode, and the final scene animated and going to render in the next few minutes. All that's left to do is complete the earlier SFX shot then do the edit and we're there! And to be fair, most of the edit is already done. I build it ...

Final Push & other stuff
It's that time again!I've had a little bit of a rethink on how to edit this episode, and I think it would actually be more effective if I moved the last few scenes to another episode. This isn't just laziness. Well, it is a little, but thinking about where the next episode was going to go, I felt it would m...

In the meadow
I suppose, with a bit of greenery, I could have made a Bush joke.Regardless, I spent a bit more time fleshing out this demo. I think it deserves a longer and harder try, but that will have to wait.In case the video doesn't load, it is here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bGzhmZNJFTesIkcdmsxUIYjmvNqG9eju/view?usp=s...
Sorry again
Last post, I mentioned that I had been working on other stuff which wasn't good enough to upload. Well, since then I tried something else as well, but again it doesn't feel good enough to take any further at the moment. So, I figured that seeing as I've been doing a shit job of putting up content lately, I&...
Hectic
Apologies for the lack of updates or anything really in the past fortnight. Things have been kind of busy or just not working out.I'm working full time at the moment, which means I'm out from 7am until about 7pm daily. Usually later wednesdays and fridays. I'm on a desk job, so I need to be active at some p...
Ma, get the broom. It's escaped again...

This was exciting, cos it had a bunch of useful new things to use and play with. Annoyingly, it seems to have broken all the files I was working on before the ...
Weird shit
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JlnEHhpkX08Ot7AGtaCdtzul0c68vKkT/view?usp=sharingSometimes, when layering animation strips, weird shit happens. This is one of them, and almost as good as the old one with Efa bouncing around the bathroom in a circle.To explain what is going on here, you keyframe certain bones on the mo...
Efa and the Wolf (Part ?)
If the video does not embed: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N4pW8ppWtDHL3tWd5Fg46PL9_3Nm75_P/view?usp=sharingFrom the vote for what side projects, the clear winner was the What If? option where Efa never met Kyn and went for the shore with the wolf instead. I decided to do some of it today because I have finally comp...

Update 10/6/21 - stuff is doing
So, that was a couple of weeks...My plan was to take a week away and just take some time relaxing and getting in some good biking. That is really not what happened. First up, on the monday morning, I got the van all tidied and ready to go. Packed bikes, had my trip planned. Got on the motorway, first stop the local sup...
Computer issues and time off
Quick one, not sure how long the computer will stay alive this time.Think I might have gone a bit over the top with the last batch of rendering, and the RAM on my PC seems to be dying and bluescreening my pc every few minutes. Will be ordering replacement RAM.On the bright side, I'm away biking for a few days anywa...
Next side-project voting
Following on from the last vote, I've made a couple of concept animations, as well as the last Efa imageset to see what I should concentrate on next.Dargon suggested some things, but also mentioned solo animations with any of the characters. I kind of like the idea of showing off the newer models for Kyn and Efa, a...
Big pile of content
I've got so much stuff for you all today.First, you'll have noticed the image set above. I did some tweaks to the newer Efa model and gave her ladyparts. So what better way for her to celebrate than to let her test them out?If you want to get the set, they're all in here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cg...
