[v_08] - FabPharma Member's Briefing (Patreon)

[Sultry laughter is overheard]

"Mmm... I don't think the term "shrink" is gonna fit you anymore, sweety."

"Nngghh-UHHH! W-wh-what have you done to me?!?"

Hello members of FabPharma,

As I return to work in a more regular timetable, with a clearer head, I bring you the next part of Skimpy seduction.

This second-to-last part heats up quite a bit, as you will see (or have seen, depending on when you're reading this briefing), as Emi's rather impressive elasticity is put to the test!

Bringing in the new year, Denise has a surprise of her own. Scratch that, make that two surprises. More about it coming up in the writeup for her mini set, Plastic Obsessions: New year, new fill.

That covers the January renders, but the year is ahead of us. And with it, I've got a few things on the to-do list, and a few changes I'm going to be lining up on the pipeline. I'll talk about these below briefly for now, and more in depth as we near each one:

Changes to the Patreon

$2 [800cc] Supporter tier is changing to Early Access for new work, and the 800cc backlog will become public over time

Seeing how most people use this tier as sort of an entry/sampler tier, I am going a step beyond and just opening up its backlog for anyone to view as I slowly post public updates. However, since Patreon ToS isn't very keen on NSFW and/or 3DX work being available publicly, this will most likely be shifted to a different platform (currently I will be aiming for this work to be featured on my deviantart page, which I sorely need to update, and probably twitter to some degree).

Moving forward, 800cc Supporters will still be receiving the new work 800cc sampler packs on a monthly basis and get to see the newest pieces that will be going public in upcoming months.

FabPharma archives updates - Updated Backlog

As the months roll by and years pass, the FabPharma Archives have swollen to harder to manage dimensions ^^; 

Since its been over 3 years since the last archived backlog update, it's more than time for the latest entries to join the archives for easier access over a good amount of scrolling through the patreon feed.

Tentative: Gallery format?

Archives or not, one thing I've sorely missed from ye olde DeviantArt days is displaying work in a gallery format. Currently, it seems patreon itself is exploring this possibility as something that may become a thing this year, but should this not happen I am exploring different ways of making this happen so supporters can have a better experience viewing and browsing the full body of FabPharma footage (not to mention the actual bodies of our unreal subjects!).

Changes to Workflow: Blender

As some of you might remember, I had intended to begin getting into Blender last year in order to transition to a more robust and flexible platform for 3d work. Real life circumstances revolving around my mother's fight with cancer and passing on from this world required me to shift my focus to her and lending all my support through this trying time.

In the aftermath of this, I find myself needing to really focus on work, and refining and continued improvement of my craft. So this year, I will be diving heavily into blender training to not only transition the regular composition of render stills, but explore physics, softbody work, and ultimately animation (hopefully).

At some point, this may impact the regular workflow in regards to output. Things may slow down before they speed up, but my intention is to keep you all updated and adjust things as needed along the way with a good amount of notices beforehand so there's no surprises moving forward.

Keep in mind this is something of the beginning of a rather long journey in 3D pilgrimage, but I hope you will be excited to see improvements and changes over time as I am!

The story of FabPharma - May you live in interesting times

Ah, yes, the lore.

Currently, things are coming to a certain peak in the FabPharma story to date:

With the Nereidyl serum fully tested, distilled, and separated into a myriad of usable, controlled strains, the corporation readies itself to unleash Nereidyl on the general public in tamer strains that will change the outlook of healthcare, and along the way challenge current views of enhanced aesthetics in never-before-seen ways, with Denise headlining the way as one FabPharma's overeager main influencers.

However, things within the main facility are steeped in tension...

 After containing the self-induced third Nereid Catastrophic Event spurred on by Alice at Nicholas' behest, the corporation's board is abuzz with excitement over having produced an organic mass capable of printing out new Nereid-infused test subjects to fuel their ever-growing needs of mass producing the prized turquoise fluid.

Control of such an organism is still a matter to be determined, however, as it seems only Alice is able to communicate with it, a rather unforeseen complication, considering the woman's penchant for chaos within the facility. 

Things are further exacerbated by Nicholas' decision to attempt to destroy her during the 3rd NCE containment, something that still heavily lingers in the air and remains unresolved, as Nicholas believes the attempt to have been an utter failure (and is now keenly aware that he might just have pissed off the most dangerous person within FabPharma, besides himself), while Alice is suddenly confronted with the reality that the corporation now holds the means to unmake her after having been grazed by a round containing a new, much more aggressive version of Nereidyl antigen. 

However, Sadie's transformed body seems to hold the key to safeguard nereidyl infused organisms from said antigen... but, hidden as she is in Alice's own quarters, how long will she be able to stay out of sight of the corporation's ceaseless surveillance, and what will become of her blossoming feelings towards a rather unpredictable and dangerous Alice?

Finally, something unbeknownst to most stirs out of sight, ignored and dismissed. And someone opposing the massive corporation is keenly keeping track of it, along with most other happenings within the Main Headquarters... it's only a matter of time until they have to make a move to try to stop the burgeoning conglomerate in its tracks, before it is too late...

Wrapping up...

Well, that about covers things moving forward! In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy [v_08]!
