This is just my personal opinion, but I think your work has gone too far in the “realistic” direction. All of those detailed body contours, veins, skin textures, variations in skin pigment, etc are very impressive from a technical standpoint, much better that almost every other 3d render artist on this site. But they are harder to fap to than your older work. It may be an “uncanny valley” thing.
Edit: Ultimately, I do think you should keep making work that you enjoy, and experiment as much as you want. Besides, it’s only some of your recent stuff that I’ve had issue with. There are plenty of others that are still very good in my opinion (including your more recent works, like “Catch & Release” and “Western Influence”).
@WildMacker - An actually valid concern, and one that's definitely noted, friendo. I'm actually starting to experiment a bit more with more "stylized" body/face shapes as well as playing around with some texture editing to try out more "toonish" type looks. I think also the higher fidelity of stuff can be attributed to my 3090. For the longest time I was working with dual 1070's, and many of my images didn't finish baking in the oven thus relying more heavily on post-worked noise reduction. This obviously killed a lot of the skin detailing, but now that I get high sample rates from my 3090 more of those skin details start to become more apparent.
That all said, if this becomes a common concern from other users I can definitely start doing noise reduction on all of my images to help reduce texture fidelity a tad and bring things out of the uncanny valley a bit. =D
Base +8, richardperson +8, hitmanlegend +6, poisenbow +6
From my point of view, as long as the quality of the stories, panels, dialogues and hardcore stuff remains the same (or increase more) —which has always been ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)— I'm OK with more or less realistic rendering. Let the artist experiment, unexpected things can always come out.
@SquarePeg3D - I'm not a good judge of bodily details but your scenes are very hot so you're doing something right. I never really liked 3d renders in general but your futa on futa stuff is just some of the best stuff I've seen around and easily makes up for it and then some. Thanks a lot dude.
Sad that Hadley is now a shemale, was really enjoying her urethra shenanigans in the other comics. Feels like Peg is completely moving away from futanari.
@SquarePeg3D - I noticed that too and was wondering, what was up with that. I share the sentiment about it moving slightly into uncanny valley at times, though in this particular case and others (say your minotaurs etc.), I actually like and prefer those wrinkles, folds and creases/wiry pubic hair being there. It adds ton of character and imo it's hot and different from the usual.
I think the galleries I personally find harder to enjoy, are the Link galleries. Maybe it's his model, more so than the texture, but for some reason he really rubs me the wrong way, even though I love your experiments with femboys and alternative models etc. in other installments!
I am very much looking forward to the next installment of this story though. The good Doctor and her cbt and urethral shenanigans are my favourite.^^
