No redgif link because making new collections seems to be broken for me. Had this issue last time, too, but it's even more broken now. Bleh.
Whenever I start a threesome animation like this I think: "how bad can it be?" and as the question would imply, t's always worse than I expect. There's so much to keep track of and do that I always end up a little bit crazy. Nearly dropped it a few times, but I powered through because if I didn't, all that time would essentially be wasted, and I already have issues with sunk costs.
Anyway, been a while since I did something NiCO and early last month I felt like doing something with her so I did. Took a while, but I eventually finished these two. The solo one was me just messing around with mirrors and what one might be able to do with them in the POV perspective. There's some visual issues with it, but whatever.
The NiCO+Marie one took like two weeks of off-on work. Not doing anything like it again for a while. Came out okay, at least. There are some things I could definitely clean up or fix, but I've got not desire to at this point. There's a reason I don't do anything long-form, because at first it seems all fine and dandy and maybe even fun, but then it just becomes a mess of frustration and losing motivation. So for anyone ever hoping to seeing a short movie by yours truly: don't. It will never happen.
I had a few other ideas, but the NiCO+Marie one took most of my time and after that I didn't feel like doing them. I did have one posed, and I threw the rough draft of it in as a render. Maybe I'll animate it at some point. Also threw in a render of something I was going to use as my banner, but decided against because I wasn't sure if it'd be considered R18 or not. Lastly, the two Marie Rose animations are ones that I never released. They're old animations that I did last March, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to do more or not and the result was they never got released. I threw them in here because if I don't release them now, they'll probably be put off for another year.
Anyway, despite being brain-melted by the NiCO+Marie animation, it wasn't all pain. I did learn some stuff, had some fun with it, but I also did some other stuff in between. There will be some FFXV for my "3-years of posting this stuff" anniversary at the end of the month since that's why I started with SFM in the first place. I also do have some other stuff in the work beyond that, but haven't done more than pose the things as of right now.
