2023: New Me, Same Great Taste

Roxanne Silverscreen, at your service. This? This is my new fursona, and this was a long time coming. My past two years being in the larger VRChat furry vore community had me change as a person in a lot of ways, and for the better. I always had wondered whenever I would start to go in more furry, but I didn't think it would be so soon lol. I'm real happy, though. Euphoric, even. I never felt more alive & accepted, and I will never want this feeling to leave. 💜

As for "Optica," well a few things. Optica as a username & branding for my art will remain. "Optica's Oasis; Under New Management." In regards to pony content as a whole, I won't be stopping, BUT I will also branch out a bit to general furry content; something I always wanted to do, fun fact. Lastly, but the fate of the pony, Optica Screenplay herself, well... it won't be a "happy" ending for some, muhahaha. If you're impatient as to what happened, it was all over my Twitter for a week before holiday, but I won't say out of spoilers. However, I will have a special SFM short depicting said fate of poor Opti & her many short-lived forms, in the coming months. Do stay tuned for that, it's gonna be juicy.~

Artwork of Roxanne here was done by the very lovely SylphSylvia. Do give her some love, she is an absolute bean. My fursona is also using the Capricornian base by Izzy. 

In other news, I have made quite the game changer. I have learned how to port models from Blender to Source Filmmaker! Below are examples of Artistic Fox's Sakura Braixtales, working fully with blendshapes & jigglebones!

I am giddy. This opens up a lot of opportunities for me as a creator, especially since some models exist online in other spaces, but have yet to even see the light of day in SFM. Of course, I will take caution with what I port, especially since some creators may not have that in their TOS, and I would imagine it getting dicier if it's a paid-for avatar, even after being paid for. Plus, I won't be going very port happy with it since, while I do know how, it can be a rather tedious process. I doubt I would be looking into commissions for this kind of thing, at least not too soon. Anything I DO port will be strictly for private use only, and ofc with proper credit to the original creators. Support all creators, no?

That's all for now. Sit tight, because I will have more to show, along with commission work to bring to the table for this new year. Thank you all for your support. <3
