Welcome one and all to your June Patreon Gallery Update! ^o^
Had a little less time for arting in May than usual, with garden work, taking care of some unexpected life stuff, and taking a Hike with a Friend. So I wanted to mostly focus on finishing up Personal Modeling Projects and Artistic Renders that have been on my mind for awhile. ^_^
Hope you enjoy what I have in store for you all this month! ^o^
Image 1
Artistic Render featuring my Largest Modeling project of the past month Frog Gal! She turned out far better than I expected, a very beautiful amphibian, if I do say so myself. :P
I tried a Depth of Field Camera Preset on this one with additional depth of field tweaks done in Post work! I think this may be one of the Best looking Renders I've done to date I can stare at it all day! ^o^
Image 2
In-progress render of Frog Gal to test out her newly created Red-Eyed Tree Frog Textures. ^_^
Images 3-5
Some more in-progress renders of Frog Gal from the earlier stages of her development using converted Bull Frog textures from the Bullwarg Character for Gen 8 Male which I got from the DazStudio Store long ago.
Also, two renders testing out some Expression Morphs I created for her and messing with her frog tongue. In order to give her the whole "Froggy Package". :P
Image 6
A self portrait Render, testing out some Hair settings to make my Hair look more like fur, also some more fur edits where done too adding an additional Strand-based hair for the Short dense fur of the face. Another step closer to wolfish perfection! Howls
Also, tried a portrait presentation idea I've been wanting to try, essentially fading the render into a background image in post work. It all came out looking amazing, definitely gonna be doing more portraits using this style in the future! ^o^

This one was finished not long after I completed the Eagle Gal Project, had been saving it to post on Memorial Day.
Huge thank you, to all who have served and sacrificed for the peace and freedom of people around the world! <3
Images 8&9
This one was one of my largest and most complex artistic renders for a long while. Doing art in any medium with multiple characters portrayed always adds a level of difficulty not found in simpler portrayals and this one was no different in that regard! x_x
This artistic render idea has been one that has been on my mind for years though so was nice to finally realize it!
Hurry up and get those Photos Martin! The murderers might still be in the area. o.o

Another Artistic render of the same scene with a different angle, some classic James Bond Vibes, and some more messing around with the depth of field camera. :P
Image 11
Here we have a Test Render of Pine Martin Guy with clothing and characterizations. Created for him a custom Anthro Hat, and some Anthro Shoes, in the 20s style.
Within my very limited 1920s setting Martin guy is a main source of intel for Fox Gal, when she is doing "Agent things". Mustelids are too often portrayed in media as Villains or "Bad Guys" so I wanted to take a different direction with Martin, making him an Investigative Journalist/Press Worker instead. ^_^
Image 12
Test Render of the completed Model of Fox Gals Hero Weapon.
This Model was created from an Artillery Luger Model I found on the open and free 3D market. Geometry Edits/ Improvements/ Fixes along with some Anthro Ergonomics, and Custom Texture Maps, among other things, where done to make the base model unique. And of course, a full Articulation Rig for movement and posing was also created. ^_^
Images 13-15
Here we have some Test Renders of my other less involved and complicated Character project of the month, another variant of my Salmon Guy. Doing a little research I found out that the color variations and body structure I was using in his previous design was only present during spawning season, so this alternate look would likely be how he'd look for most of his life. The project was rather simple, just some texture map coloration tweaks, an alternate Head Shape Morph, and some Tail edits, were all that was needed to pull off the new look!
Also, tried out another Leg/Foot Flipper concept design I've had on my mind for awhile, it's probably my favorite design yet, not really sure if I'll be able to come up with anything better, but we shall see what the future holds! ^o^
Images 16&17
We'll finish this months Discord Extras with some photos from my two day hiking venture with my good friend RaccoonKing. Despite it being a little cloudy the views at the top of the Peak where still Breathtaking! In the first image you can barely make out the City of Seattle in the distance with the backdrop of the Olympic Mountains in the distance the second is looking in the other direction where you can see a part of the cascade mountain range. That Trail was one of the most difficult I have ever hiked nearly straight up for over 3 miles reaching a height of 2500ft, it was so worth it though! ^o^
Again, Thank You, all so much for your Support, Patronage, and and above all, Friendship, I don't know where I'd be without you all! See you all at the next project! ^o^
All this, was of course, originally posted at the Wilderness Discord Community over the course of the past month, a lot of these projects were streamed there as well, I try to stream as much as I can during the later part of the day (7pm-4am PST). If you are not a Member yet and would like to become one, catch my streams, or just hang out with myself and people of like mind here is your link to join! https://discord.gg/9RtA2ec
