Progress Report - Monday, March 28, 2022 (Patreon)

Hello, everybody!

As the end of the month approaches, I have shifted gears into finishing up April's one-off video, the Harley video. It's been fully lit, and all of the dialogue has been lip-synced. I am now in the process of lip-syncing the non-dialogue, and then adding the detail animations to it.

As I was working on the April one-off, I also got back the dub audio for the June one-off, the Leliana video. So I spent time processing that and getting it ready for work. For shits and giggles, I ran it through the auto-lipsync system, and it actually got about 90% of the dialogue lip-sync. Managed better than the Harley video's, and I suspect that cutting the moans out helped a lot. I noticed the Harley video's auto-lipsync got confused by a lot of the moans. So in the future I will make sure to cut out special versions of the audio for the auto-lipsync, just to make both its job and my job easier.

The rest of my week has been occupied by working on some new outfits for Elsa and Anna, as well as Marie Rose, and dealing with Twitter locking my account and banning my profile banner. The same profile banner, as a matter of fact, that I use here on Patreon - and that Patreon's support staff personally signed off on as being acceptable. Apparently Twitter are now prudish than Patreon are, which is a bit of an achievement.

I love you, Patreon, but there's no denying the fact you don't have the best track record when it comes to your NSFW artist community.

So here's my new Twitter profile banner. If Patreon decides to pull a "hold my beer" and one-up Twitter, then it will become my new Patreon banner as well.

I am hoping to have the Harley video ready for rendering by the 31st. Considering that it has somehow turned out to be a 4.5-minute video, I suspect it'll take 2 days to render, and another day to edit. So, ideally, it'll be ready for Patreon early-access by Monday, April 4.

This is, of course, predicated on the assumptions above, as well as the assumption my sound designer will have the audio ready for me before the render is finished. He had a family emergency come up some weeks ago, and it threw his schedule all out of whack. He seemed confident that he can get it done, but his track record when it comes to projecting deadlines is about as reliable as mine, so I intend to give him a poke and see where things lie.

Once Harley is out the door, I will return my attention to Overbreed.

As a final note, for those of you who don't pay attention to my Twitter antics (you really should) and don't pay attention to the stream projects, then just as a brief update: we have a futa video project that's currently 15 minutes in runtime in production, and are starting a Momiji DOAFantasy project. The latter is still in preproduction, preparing everything for the stream, but I expect it to land somewhere around the 5-minute mark when it's said and done, and it will be the first direct installment in the greater DOAFACU project I've been writing out for the past few years.

Here's the latest stream announcement image for the both of those.

That's all for now. Until next week, everyone!
