What to expect after the Disco Dragon 4


As the final renders cook for the Disco Dragon four, with the comic pages all set and ready to go, my mind is already thinking ahead. I can feel the weight of my ambitious madness from 2014 lift and I look forward to a gentler future with (hopefully) more manageable projects and a more frequent output. I was WAY too ambitious back in Malawi, thinking I could take on the Poser world with my own figure and then also making a full-length cinematic CGI comic with over 15 people fucking in an intricate orgy... well I did both, and I'm happy I did, but man I need to chill now.

I am going to take it really fucking easy from now on and just do fun little projects.

But first I'm going on a little holiday, a week or so... just NO computers! I'll probably go with the girlfriend to some remote cottage and sleep for days behind a roaring fire. I'm going to open a bottle of Single Malt Whisky from 1997 that I've been saving for this moment, maybe relax into a book or something, or just vegetate behind the TV.

I'm going to try and promote my comics properly from now on. I've never been entirely confident enough to expand my horizons, especially with so much unfinished business, but now that the DD is complete, I feel i can sell something solid. I also want to see if I can pimp some of my old comics somehow. I've learned a lot in the last five years and my older comics are beginning to look a little amateurish. I still have all the scene files, maybe a re-render? Not sure though, I'd rather make new comics.



Speaking of which, I'll start working on Sen's first comic (finally!) while also compiling all my free stuff into downloadable comics. At the same time I'll start making short little snip offs from the DD series, as well as the free online series. these comics will all have more one-on-one or one-on-several action scenes, and not a complex tapestry of human sex like the DD4! Orgies are fucking hard to coordinate, especially if you want it to happen organically.

I will make a behind the scenes PDF or webpage about the DD, sharing with you some of the tricks I implemented when making this comic. And along those lines I might start some tutorials about CGI in general.

There are many MANY more things I really want to do but lets just start with this. Also, I do still have plans for TaB and Project Evolution, but 1) I'm keeping them secret because I need to finish those things in relative peace (and maintain the freedom of cancelling them if they don't work without feeling guilty) and 2) I'm really done with the whole Poser circus. The only reason I still bother with Poser is because it's currently still doing its job, and switching to any other software would be suicide for me. I might become a little more enthusiastic if Bondware release a new version, but I'm kinda done stressing over software. I'm only on this earth for a finite amount of time, and I'd rather spend it on something fun that I have actual control over. That said, I still help the odd friend that still uses Poser, so anything I do for Poser would be in the same spirit.

  1. I've started to look into Reallusions' Character Creator and iClone, which looks like a promising replacement for Poser given its pipeline to Zbrush and back. While it can apparently import V4, I don't think it can import Project Evolution. They are also promising a new base mesh that will make it easier to modify with ZBrush.

Hey, because of a sudden influx of spam, I need to moderate comments from now on, unfortunately. I'll try find a work-around in the meanwhile. Cheers!
