Raidō | End of Year Announcement - Update, WIP's & Future Plans

Trivia: Raidō

Raido reminds us that although it may seem that we have accomplished our goals, life and change continue and we must go along with the flow. Raido points out the right (or best) path among a selection of choices and alternatives. We will eventually end up where we began, but on a higher level and with a better perspective. The journey never really ends.

Greetings, vikings!

The year is coming to an end and this is where I would like to take the opportunity to discuss and explain a few more things to you about last year, my current projects and what I plan to do next year.

Recap

I am happy about all the things I have accomplished this year. I learned some new features in Blender, managed to improve my workflow for the projects and found new ways to create even better renders in the future. All this would not have been possible without your help. 

This month, however, I'm behind on my projects. I finally had my first vacation this year in the middle of the month to recover from my master class and normal work. Actually, I planned to use this time to take a more active interest in my renders, but the opposite was the case. I didn't lack the time, rather the motivation and imagination to continue working.In retrospect, I just think that a six-day week with school and work plus Blender on the side made me increasingly exhausted.In retrospect, I just think that a six-day week with school and work plus Blender on the side made me increasingly exhausted.  In any case, the vacation did me good and helped me to focus on the important things again.

Now to the important stuff: I learned from this and decided to skip the Patreon billing for January. While I would have had the opportunity to finish two more projects (Judy's and 2B's) now, I'm not completely satisfied with the renders yet and want to take a few more days to do so. 

This means that you can still stay signed up as a supporter and benefit from the next month with these and all the new projects that will be added.

Nevertheless, should you be willing to buy me a coffee in between, you are of course welcome to do so on Ko-Fi. After all, my expenses and my master school still have to be financed.

Now let's have a quick look at the current stuff:

Judy's Set

Here I had already written in the last updates that I had difficulties with one of her models. I was able to fix the bugs and hoped to continue working with the model as it offered some interesting clothing alternatives. However, after I continued working on it for several hours, more bugs crept in that I didn't know about and couldn't fix. Therefore, I had to decide to take another model and create the scene again partly from scratch. This was one of the reasons why everything dragged on again.

Now I am quite far with the scene, but still intend to improve one or two small things, so that everything looks right, as I envision it. This will probably take a few more days, but I think you'll be happy with the final result as a female/futa variant.

2B's Pin-Up

I've almost finished the pin-up, I'll just take care of one or two small clipping errors and fine-tune the camera settings in the next few days. Then you can look forward to female/futa variants here as well.

Ellie's scene

For a change I decided to do a BIowjob scene here, which shows a bit more of her, even though it's a first person view. The background isn't final on this, I'm thinking of going with more of a gas station where you sit on the hood of your vehicle while she takes care of you. Different skin tones will of course exist here as variants. If you also want a futa variant, feel free to write/comment me, then I'll see what I can do.

My plans for next year

In January my last course for the master title starts. If all goes well, I'll be done with everything by the beginning of February and I've already made arrangements to have more time for this from my normal work. I then plan to increase my workload for this from February and either create more scenes per month (including new commissions) or use the more free time to finally fulfill my desire to create my own animations and have enough time for it.

I thank all of you who have supported me so far from the bottom of my heart and look forward to being able to offer even more content in the near future. I wish you all a happy new year and all the best for 2022!
