Weekend post 1/2: WIPs and updates, La Folia Rihavein from Strike the Blood model (a Patreon member commissioned model), Suzumori Mizuki from Netokano (created for a contest), Hibiki Ganaha from The Idolmaster, and all four characters from Seikattsu Shuukan (both done just for fun)

I'll be out of town for all of Saturday and some of Sunday for a wedding, so this is the beginning of the weekend check-in post to ensure I'm getting you what I've been working on over the last couple of days. I've worked on a few models and some images and prepped for other projects. This post will largely focus on models I have created; the post on Sunday will include some image sets (Emilia, more Bambietta Basterbine, etc.).

First, let's talk about what I'm working on—in short, a lot! Let's start with the Emilia image set I said I'd do. I tested out a few models and decided on the image/art style that you see, as it generally looks quite close to the anime. I plan to do at least 30 images of her on Sunday and keep the set exclusive to this Patreon.

Additionally, as I will be doing a Koyuki Kazahana (from Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow) character model for a Patreon member's request, I finished watching the movie last night. I then ran the .mkv file of the film through a program to take a screencap every 2 seconds; so I will need to sort through a bit shy of 3k screenshots to delete the unneeded images, edit the usable images only to include Koyuki, etc. I aim to have this done tonight and start preparing the model and training it before I leave in the morning tomorrow to have the model done on Sunday.

Finally, I have been bouncing around prepping some image sets. I've created some images of Bambietta, Towa, Boa Hancock, etc., and plan to post a more fleshed-out set shortly. Of course, I will be working on several other image set requests; as stated before, I keep a running list of requests/what I'm working on on the Discord channel.

Next, I have made four models...or seven characters, as one of the models is actually a 4-in-1 model! Firstly, I did La Folia Rihavein from Strike the Blood for a Patreon member request. I've done and included a handful of test images above.

Secondly, I created a character model of Mizuki Suzumori from Netokano for a bounty on CivitAI (think of this as a contest). I'm generally not into NTR, but Mizuki's design was too good not to try to fulfill this request! The contest holder really liked the model, so mission accomplished! As you can see, this model also does an excellent job of replicating the OVA's art style.

Next is Hibiki, another in my series of The Idolmaster 2011 anime character models. As I stated before, I was provided a pre-compiled dataset of all the characters, so I can pump these out pretty quickly and will only be spending a little time making images with them if requested to do so). Of course, I do like all the classic Idolmaster girls, so I consider these a fun little side project. I've attached a couple of quick test pictures I did of an aged-up version of her.

Lastly (and bear with me here), I did a 4-in-1 character model capable of making images of all the characters from the hentai anime Seikattsu Shuukan. I've posted some sample pictures of Ayaka and Chiaki above; since Fuyuno and Koharu are underage (and I don't feel like "ruining" their design by aging them up), I will not be posting any images of these two on Patreon, even safe for work, due to Patreon's terms of service.

Some parting words for this update: Since posting it, the Kuroinu 9-in-1 model I made has become one of my most popular character models to date; the Mizuki model has also since gotten a lot of positive reception, so I will plan to do more hentai-original characters moving forward. I definitely want to do all the elves from the Sukebe Elf series; the Taimanin series was also brought up on Discord, and some of the girls from the series would also be excellent choices.
