"Patrons Sprint Week" - main time's over, moving into overtime. Failed venture?
🕑 Added 2025-10-07 14:35:51 +0000 UTCHi.
The so-called official time frame for the event is over, so I wanted to talk about it a little bit - what was good, what was bad, and whether there’s a possibility of doing it again in the future.
What if NO, who knows? Keep reading.
What was done?
Being very generous, you could say it's a 1.5/5, basically nothing compared to what was supposed to be done:
a map
non-rendered version of Ciri's riding
alternative version of a "Bedtime Training"
a blockout of a cock slapping into an erection
Why, what is the reason?
There were a couple of reasons. One of them was that everybody looooves suggesting cumshots. Those are more time-consuming, since now you need to do four things instead of one. Instead of a potential loop with a few transitions, you now have:
initial part -> transition into a pose -> cumshot -> settlement.
Fuck it, it doesn’t matter. Let’s talk about this instead:
Guys, what do you know about missed opportunities?
Initially, I gave myself an internal budget of 300 frames per animation - quick, short, loopy, without much compositing or sound.
Then I thought, what if instead of just doing a loop, I add something at the beginning and the end?
I tried this on "Ciri is riding", and it jumped from 300 frames to 1000. Well… might as well polish it a bit more since I already went that far.
It's not an issue if time is not of the essence, but each frame takes ~3 minutes to render. That makes it impossible to finish in a day no matter what.
The way I split the scene makes each frame roughly 2-3 minutes to render.I just couldn't help myself, seeing the potential of the idea and ignoring it just because of a self-imposed deadline? I’d already gone too far, so I might as well make the best of it.
You can see the current palette on this frame. It requires almost no further compositing and I think I'll keep it.
Also, I noticed all the winning ones include Triss, and these three might actually connect with each other. (I couldn't think of a way to add "Riding" into it.)
Slapping -> Stroking -> Sex
Hmmmmmmm, might as well be like this:
Riding -> Slapping -> Stroking -> Sex
So now, instead of just doing simple loops, I want to tie them together so there’s a smooth flow from one to the next.
That’s what was going on. Now I just need to focus on the "cock slapping" one and publish "riding" once it’s rendered.
Oh, almost forgot.
Failed venture?
In terms of the time frame and the name of the event - 100%.
It's not a sprint, more like a tripping competition. I need a better name for it.
Other than that, I think it’s a huge success. I tried working with tighter deadlines, some of you got your suggestions in, and in the end we’ll actually get a semi-coherent micro “story” with some progression.

Now, see you in the next post, where "riding" will be.

Keep up the fantastic work, you’re one of the best futa x futa animators on the scene and it’s not close

The "everybody loooooooves asking for cumshots" had me laughing lol. I wanted to say, I think it is a great idea to combine this into a continuing thing.
