December Previews 02

**EDIT 12/23: Changed course on this month's Exclusive Poses. The pack will now be called "Moment of Weakness"

Hey guys. I was out of town for a few days, so apologies if I was late to reply to your DMs. Luckily, I've got a break from parenting this weekend, so I have had time to play some catchup. The next set of poses are drafted and a candidate has been confirmed for 2025's first girl of the month. Lets begin!

Poses News:

My next set of very leggy seated model poses are mostly finalized. There will be 12-14 of them, all from reference:

These will be releasing on the 25th as usual. Following close behind, this month's exclusive pose pack coming on the 28th will be called 'Moment of Weakness.'

Looking forward to Jan 2025, I am planning to do a set of floor model poses first because I really need some fresh floor model poses for my banners. The second set for Jan will be some kind of adult pose pack. Subject matter to be determined by vote.

Character News:

Our first girl for 2025 will be Ashley. She is of mixed lineage, with the faintest dash of Britney Spears thrown in. Ashley's exclusive variant will be elven themed, and I plan to doll her up with some ornamental makeup as well (not ready to show just yet).

Ashley's facial structure is quite different from the previous two girls, and the expression morphs that I have made so far do not work well with her. I will need to remake or heavily modify them. I will know more after some hands-on time, and share my plans and findings with you in the Jan Previews post.

Mods News:

This week, I released my Triune Necklace to subscribers. It will be available to all on Jan 21st. Those who dip into the Fashionista tier also received the matching bracelets and earrings:

Though small in size, this mod actually took me a heck lotta time.. I started work on it way back at the start of the month and only just finished this week! The appearance of the diamonds is not actually due to translucency and refraction, I tried every shader that I could get my hands on and the results were all woefully inadequate. I found one shader by someone named MDGQ which looks awesome, but I have not succeeded in contacting them for permission.

In the end, the look that I settled on actually comes from a combination of specular highlights and normal mapping, similar to the diamonds used in my previous accessories. I hope that you are happy with the results! If anyone has a direct line to MDGQ or has a truly good unity shader for gems, I would highly appreciate it if you could share, thanks!

My next mod will be a new pair of heels to go with this fine jewelry. I am thinking of something pointy and formal, with crossed straps. More on this later.

That does it for this preview. Thank you all for your continued support and visitation! See you on release day :)
