TL;DR: I'll be teaching myself a lot of cool skills over time now that I've graduated from college and should have a bit more free time. I also have some images to share. I'll be posting a Pokémon (Nemona, Sonia, Nessa) and The Dangers in My Heart (Anna and Sanae Yamada) image set for paid Patreon members in a separate post later today, as well as sending out the updated Mega/Google Drive all-in-one image archive. This will be a rare post for all members (i.e, not just paid) as I feel the general updates are worth informing everyone about, plus this update will be a bit lighter due to my having been so focused on college over the last few days since the last update.
It's the beginning of the month...and the beginning of a new era for this Patreon/project, perhaps? As I've mentioned many times lately, I am currently in college and will be graduating soon. Well, the promised day has finally arrived, and I've effectively graduated now! I just have one paper to turn in, but even if I were not to do so (I will, of course), I will have passed all my classes this last semester! Although paperwork and administrative work will still need to be processed, I'm now effectively a college graduate! Whooo! I'm actually taking the entire week off work next week, partly to relax and partly to catch up on some of the commissions for this Patreon.
Anyway, this isn't meant to be me bragging, but rather an update, which leads me to some thoughts and updates on the direction of this channel - all good updates. Firstly, as mentioned in an earlier post, I purchased a Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 to replace and upgrade my aging 2070. Again, this is intended not only to enhance my ability to render images and models more quickly, but also to future-proof myself for future technical developments and projects I may undertake.
Speaking of future-proofing myself, that leads to what I refer to as Phase 3 of this Patreon (Phase 1 being the start when I just made images, and Phase 2 being when I learned to create character models). Since I now have all the equipment to constitute a high-end enthusiast PC (I was previously running a low to mid-grade enthusiast build), this means I have the ability to do new things and accomplish more quickly than I have before. Additionally, since I've freed up more free time, what do I plan to do with some of this extra downtime? Here are three skills I plan to study up on/learn moving forward:
Blender, primarily for erotic 3D renders and (hopefully soon!) animations.
Actual drawing skills. I've started doing drawabox.com to improve my traditional art basics and foundational skills. In the past, I've dabbled with oil painting and doodling, but I haven't really put in and focused effort into trying to learn the fundamental principles of drawing; I'd like to, at the very least, gain a stronger foundation on how artwork is drawn and the strokes and design principles behind it.
Live2D, primarily for hybrid 2D animations. I've said this all the way back in mid-2024 or so, but wouldn't it be awesome if I could create a sexy picture and then animate it with voice acting and the like?
To clarify, the focus of this Patreon will remain on anime girls (particularly those that are extremely on-model), and I will continue to create commissioned character models and images. However, the reason I want to learn these skills is twofold. Firstly, I just want to learn these skills! They've been on my to-learn list for a while, but having to juggle a full-time, 45-hour-a-week job on top of being a full-time college student and running this Patreon, fulfilling commissions, while also forcing myself to relax here and there has left me stretched a bit thin. Since I can now, at the very least, remove college from my "time commitment calendar," I should have slightly more free time to spend working on passion projects and learning skillsets that I want to. Secondly (and the more practical reason), I dream of quitting my soul-crushing 9-to-6 job and focusing on doing things that I enjoy, like this, for fun while getting paid to do so. I'm not sure when my skillset in some or all of these areas will reach a point where they are viable, but I'll continue to work on them on the side, independent of this Patreon. In the meantime, I hope you continue to support my mission to provide only the most on-model, cutest, and lewdest anime girls possible!
Moving beyond personal ambitions, I have some updates to share for this post. Firstly, while this has been a busy week for me due to it being finals week, I still managed to get a handful of things done this week, namely in the form of completing two image sets (Nemona, Sonia, and Nessa from Pokemon and Anna and Sanae Yamada from The Dangers in My Heart); both these image sets will be available in a separate post later today to paid Patreon members (I still need to manually edit the moles on Anna's left thigh and neck on the pinup images). Additionally, I completed a pair of commissioned character models (Rebecca Randall and Magilou), as well as two of my favorite Pokémon girls (Sonia and Nessa). The latter two weren't specifically commissioned, but Nemona was, and I see Sonia and Nessa as an extension of that commission.
Rebecca Randall (Dragonar Academy) - Commission!
Magilou (Tales of Berseria) - Commission!
Sonia (Pokémon Journeys: The Series)
Nessa ft. Sonia (Pokémon: Twilight Wings, Episode 4)
This design of Nessa is based on her design in the animated short. It's about 6 minutes long and you can watch it on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfsT2uqJPOc. Sonia was also in this short briefly, so this is actually a 2-in-1 model!
None this time!
Jiro (My Hero Academia)
Tamaki Kotatsu (Fire Force)
Tamarun (artist's style) + Abigail Williams (Fate/Go)
Touka (Mama Katsu)
Sylvia "Sylvie" van Hossen (Princess Lover OVA)
My model of her will be based explicitly on the two-episode hentai OVA, not the TV series. An update for her (or other girls from the series, like Charlotte Hazelrink) is possible in the future, but was not immediately commissioned or requested.
Miyu Takashima (Oppai no Ouja 48)
Firika Mia Shatana from Nuki Doki
Nanako Kugayama from Honoo No Haramase Paidol
My Star Gakuen Z Diana from Tsunpuri
Himawari Shinomiya (Vivid Operation)
Ai-chan (Tawawa on Monday, based on the manga)
Waguri Kaoruko from The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity
This is a preemptive commission; I will do this when the anime airs in July.
Update my Emilia model to have Season 1 and 2 outfits (Re:Zero)
Update my Hesita model to get a few more outfits that were omitted/don't work very well in my model.
Akane Hououji from Megami no Café Terrace
More Love Live Girls (Eli Ayase, Kanan Matsuura, Maki Nishikino, etc.)
More Fairy Tail characters (Mirajane + Lisanna Struass, Juvia, Irene Belserion, Minerva Olando, etc.)
Kouka (Gintama)
More Gundam characters (Marida Cruz, etc.)
Reiko Date Wingfield
Blend S girls
Food Wars Girls (Alice, Erina, Ikumi, etc.)

Launch (Dragon Ball)
Hex (Jormungand)
Moroha (Yashahime)
Kūkaku Shiba (Bleach)
Noelle Silva (timeskip, Black Clover)
Kokomi Teruhashi (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.)
The commissioner of this set requested that I keep it private for them; I posted a small sample of test images I made of her in a previous post to offset this for those who want to see her.
