There are no November rewards because I paused my Patreon for that month.

It's been a while, but I finally managed to progress on my Rhea fan VN.
Technically I've been progressing a little every couple days but today marks an important milestone: I finished* the most important background for the VN! Hooray!
For the unfamiliar, this is Rhea's bedroom and this is where a bunch of ero scenes in the VN will take place. In order for me to draw those CGs though, I needed to recreate the room in 3D so I can freely choose whichever angle best suits my composition.
To be completely honest though, it was more of an excuse to try a 3D + 2D approach. Truth is I can just wing the background for an ero scene (who really cares about BGs in an ero scene). But by recreating Rhea's room, I feel a lot more intimate with her character and it gave me a bunch of ideas for different poses that I wouldn't have otherwise thought of. I won't go into details because that's what the VN is for, but sufficed to say, it do be good π€€π€€
I won't bore you with too much technical details, but I'm painting over my 3D renders to give them more life. Turns out making interiors in 3D look good (or anything in 3D really) is way more involved and I'm not necessarily trying to make photorealistic stuff.
Just for fun, here's what the room looks like in game:
And here's my version. It's not a 1:1 replica because I'm not that obsessed (and skilled) yet :P
As a side note, playing with the lighting gives me infinite joy. As a 2d artist, lighting is such a hard skill to master, and to see it work realistically in realtime gives me such a hard on lmao
There are other backgrounds/locations in the VN but Rhea's bedroom is the single most important one so it feels super rewarding now that it's almost done. It's not truly finished yet but I'm really happy with it at this point.
Now here's a mockup with a WIP Sprite and UI:
On one hand, I want to keep things under wraps, but on the other, I desperately want to share stuff. So let's just say that there's a couple of scenes with this dancer outfit and I think it will be glorious ^^
It's taking me forever to progress with this VN, but it's slowly coming together bros and I'm super excited to share stuff. All in good time, I suppose!

I think that's all for the update! I'm gonna draw Tharja next to wrap up January rewards so we can do the February stuff soon.
Hope you like the Wiz illustration as well! Working on the Rhea VN made me so horny I almost drew Wiz completely nude. I guess we'll have to settle Wizout underwear :P
Cheers!
