Update 10/14

Posted 10 years ago

I have not posted a lot, but that's for good reason. School has got me very busy. Instead, Ill attempt to stay relatively in touch through journals.

School is still taking up a lot of my time. I am currently studying for one test, especially after a test in a different class didn't go so well.

The car still isn't fixed, which has been frustrating me. I spent $60 on a blower motor, and that didn't fix the issue, now I may need a $110 part next that is in an even tighter spot. There's still a long list of problems it has. With how much work the car needs, I'm very hesitant to keep working on it. It seems I fix one issue and then another pops up. Please no 'funny' comments on how, "That's how cars work!" I have dealt with this for too long and it is no longer funny.

I did break and upgrade my Lightwave license from an educational to a commercial license. What does this mean? I can now sell the models I make. Or I can freely use the models I make in 3D game engines.

Why did I upgrade now when money is so tight? The program is normally $1100, and an upgrade from one version to the new one is normally $950. I got the upgrade today for $400. This was my last chance to get it at this price. If I waited, I would have spent a lot more.

Money will be tight for a long while. Buying this license now may come back to haunt me, but in the long run I believe this was the right choice.

Just an Update

Posted 10 years ago

Just an update on things. Ive been busier than usual with classes, but not overburdened (yet). Its been...steady.

My car is still a mess. I need a new fan motor, and then attempt to install it myself with the only tool I have: a mini multi tool. My engine is leaking oil, I need tires, the interior is falling apart... But I have had a new way of looking at it: this car is shot, so I can drive it into the ground and I shouldn't be worried. I'm complaining less about it, but I will admit, I need my fans back...

I'm going to attempt making some stupid simple games with programs like Construct2 and Game Maker. We'll see how this goes.

www.humblebundle.com/weekly

For those who are interested in making games, you have about a day left to take advantage of this huge deal. $12 gets you over $300 in programs and $200 in games, plus source code. I did it. Their servers are down due to high traffic, but you can buy the bundle and get your keys after traffic dies down.

Troubles

Posted 10 years ago

Not so good news ahead...

First, commissions are now closed. I will not be taking anymore for a few months. Why? Next...

Second, school is coming. One more week of freedom before what I can assume is going to be a rather difficult semester. I'm...not too happy with my current school situation. To sum it up: I want to go into game design as an artist/3D modeler. I enjoy modeling quite a lot, though I'm so far only good at structures. But my current class plan has been all oriented towards programming. I've been learning databases, programing languages, and artificial intelligence and struggling terribly. Course now, in my 4th year of college, I discover that I don't like the technical stuff, but really, really enjoy the artistic stuff.
So now it feels like I've wasted 4 years of college to change directions, and eventually schools, to pursue a degree that many wouldn't recommend.... Its been a headache to say the least.

Third, someone on FA has reported me for not citing all the models that I use here. If I don't cite them, my gallery will be wiped. Now I'm going through a painstaking process of looking up and getting all the links to every model that I have used in the pictures I have posted here. Thankfully, the FA admin I've been talking with has been fair and nice, so I have enough time to do this, and he/she has given me permission to post a single journal with all the links there, then each submission needs a link to the journal. In the next week, expect a loooooong journal of links.

There is one bit of good news, so I'll end on a happier note. Years ago I bought Company of Heroes for the computer and I never got it to work. I tried 4 different computers without any luck, and that is the main reason why I am a console gamer and not a PC gamer. You cant convince me that PC games are better if it took me 8 years and 4 computers and still fail to play a single game. Well I finally got it to work this week, but only because I used Steam to get it on my computer. I never got the CD to work.

Still, fun game. I like the noise. The soldiers are all screaming at each other, which is a nice change from just gunfire and nothing else to break it up. It adds some chaos to the game that I enjoy.

That is all for now...I hope...

Bulges Vore Pack - Coming soon!

Posted 10 years ago

I will have the next vore pack here in a few days. Im doing things a little differently now if you want to receive it through Patreon.

It is $5, and as of right now, I have 9 images. I may try to make a 10th, but I cant promise anything. Ive been busy...

The pack contains both male and female prey, some nudity (2 images, one has nothing showing). There are a variety of predators; its not just dragons or trex, there's a snake, biguana, and even a minotaur in there.

There are 3 ways to get your hands on the pack: the three P's.

• Patreon: Support me on Patreon with a minimum donation of $5. You must keep supporting me until August 10th. After August 10th, feel free to stop supporting me. Or, if you like what you see, please continue to donate :)

www.patreon.com/PWRof3D

• Paypal: Once the pack is released, send me a note with your PayPal email. Ill send you an invoice for $5. Once I get the money, I will send you a link to download it.

• DA Points: On the pack's submission page at Deviantart, there will be a button to buy the pack with Points. I believe it will be 400 points.

Choose your method, and you will get this pack. Want more? I have several other art packs available now:

http://pwrof3d.deviantart.com/art/W.....Pack-490458702

http://pwrof3d.deviantart.com/art/T.....Pack-506296838

This will be the last vore pack for a while I think.

Opening for HD Commissions

Posted 10 years ago

I still don't have a job, which is starting to become a major problem. So Im opening up for a few simple yet high quality commissions.

http://sta.sh/21v4njwkh7pq

If you would like to see more render examples, or are interested, send me a note.

They are going to be single renders (no comics/series) with a maximum of 2 characters for Iray renders and 4 characters for HD renders. These limitations are set by my computer's memory limits. I cant do more simply because my computer cant take more.

I don't have any set number of slots, and they will be finished in first come, first serve order. There may be some extended wait times because of the long render times.

Current Stuffs

Posted 10 years ago

Im still here... even though my last submission was like 3 weeks ago...

Ive been busy with school work. I have a huge final project for my 3D modeling class, and I made a few awesome breakthroughs and major progress recently.

Ill still be a little quiet as finish up the models I need and put the whole thing together in a presentation, but I have a few things to post, so I hope to have something up soon.

I also hope to become more active in May. School will be out by then. Of course Ill be looking for a job/internship, so I wont be totally free from everything. I wanna make art so bad though!

Birthday and Boredom

Posted 10 years ago

My birthday is just 2 weeks away. It lands on Easter this year… I don’t think it's done that before… For those wondering how old... Lets just say Im not the designated driver on Easter...

Aaaaannnd Im bored. So ask me anything? And if you want me to answer in character I can, just say which character. One of Dravec's forms, Vavira, Chip... or human me.

Ponderings (need feedback)

Posted 10 years ago

I have a few things on my mind, and I need some feedback on them:

Commission Stuff:
Im not opening yet, I need to finish what I have going.
Ive been thinking about prices. Im trying to stay fair, and so far I haven't received any complaints about charging too much. I've considered either adding the option or changing over to charging by the hour. I found a small timer (posted by Acidic ) that tracks how much time I spend in a program, and the timer is only going if Im interacting with the program in some way. If the mouse stops moving, or if I get distracted, the timer stops. So knowing that the time spent on a commission would be accurate, would you go for a by-the-hour commission? What is a fair rate?

Collaborations:
Yes or No? Not sure how it would work. And I have never done them before.

FAQ page:
I get asked a lot of questions, often very similar ones. Im thinking about writing a FAQ page, but I need a few more questions to make it a full FAQ.

I know Im going to include:
What program(s) do you use?
Do you role play?
Do you have Skype?
What other fetishes/kinks I can do?
Questions/limitations of Dravec and his 3 forms (by limitations, I mean what sort of art he can be depicted in, such as 'no adult stuff')

What sort of questions do you have? Or what sort of questions do you often see on a FAQ?

Other than that, Im still sort of 'out of it'. My week has continued its turbulent trend with plenty of ups and downs throughout these last couple days. The fire at the business has not ruined us thankfully. In fact my dad is oddly calm about the whole situation. I cant say the same for my uncle, who is still angry and frustrated at everyone for no reason. But so far my family isn't falling apart. Still, Ive been having good days and bad days, and I think my brain is simply confused over whether it should be happy or sad right now, thus Im getting thrown off.

Life Update

Posted 10 years ago

This has probably been one of the most turbulent weeks of my life. Both in high flying to downright decimation.

For those who hate reading:

Topics:
Magic the Gathering AI project from last semester
3D modeling class
Math
Family troubles
Commission status
Dying Light
Less stress
Windows 8.1 phone
Patreon

First, I want to talk about that Magic the Gathering AI program that was several months ago. It was a disaster. We had the rules and the concepts down, but because I couldn't code, the program lacked in every fashion. In the end, my partner claimed it was a working program that he tested, well it wasn't tested enough. We were only allowed to lose two games before being kicked out of the rankings, and we lost both within minutes of starting each one. In both cases, a single line of code was misplaced into an area that was unreachable, so the program was stuck in a loop: either saying "place mountain" and "end turn", or just "end turn". No creatures were ever placed. What made it worse was we were not allowed to edit the code once the game started. Well, after my teammate left the room in pure anger and frustration, every team broke that rule, so we lost both games and did not get to edit our code to improve our AI. We got a good grade at the end, mostly due to not getting the chance to fix our code, but it was still incredibly frustrating. My teammate hasn't talked to me since either.
For those that helped on the project, and there were a few who helped a ton, I am planning on something for you. Ive just been too busy to get around to it. I have some names written down though.

So now for more recent events:

The game assets are actually going quite well. Building my own 3D models has been easier than trying to follow my class book though. The book, while easy to read, expects you to have some prior knowledge occasionally, so some steps seem skipped or out of place. The assets CD it comes with is horrible too. It has how-to videos on certain chapters, but I cant get any of them to play, they're all corrupt or something. Several functions didn't work at all, so none of the book assignments have been easy going due to errors or tools not acting as described.

But my assets for my game are actually going quite smoothly. One model I am very proud of is a telephone pole that has drooping wires. I also made it so its modular, meaning I can place one after another seamlessly and without special setup. Im a little worried about the polygon count on it. The pole itself is very low, but the wires alone have around 300 polygons each. Im still not sure what classifies as a high poly count for some items, but at the same time I feel I can remake those wires to be lower. I supposed to be learning Maya, but I have found Lightwave to be more friendly.

Math sucks, that's self explanatory.

My family's business caught fire and burned to the ground. That was the decimation part of my week. Everything is gone, the building collapsed in on itself. The good news is it happened late at night so no one was inside. The stress of this is ripping the family apart though as my uncle has not been the most cooperative with anyone during this. I don't want to go into detail with this. Im not yet sure what the future will hold.

I am working on finishing my commission list completely. I have had a small backup from commissions that I accepted almost a year ago, and I want to get those off my list. So the reason I haven't posted much is because Im working on some rather large commissions.

Dying Light is fun. I have not yet beaten it, so no spoilers.

I have been under less stress since dropping my coding class. I don't know what I would be like if I still had it in my current mess.

My windows 8 phone finally updated to 8.1. I was supposed to get that update months ago, but I fear most cell phone carriers, including mine, do not like or support the windows operating system. Since buying my windows 8 phone a few years ago, the number of available windows devices on my carrier dropped to 2. Plus there are still no wearable watches that are strictly built for windows. Not like I can get one of those insanely expensive watches, I just wish there were more windows stuff out there.

Remember to support me on Patreon ( https://www.patreon.com/PWRof3D ). I changed it to a 'per upload' subscription, meaning you'll only pay for animations, big comics, or other bigger stuff like that. Once I can get through this rough patch, I want to do some animating, and I'll be posting the animation there.

Rambled a little bit, but that's what's going on.

Patreon Update

Posted 10 years ago

I changed my Patreon page to a per upload subscription from a monthly subscription. Meaning if you donate to me now, you wont be charged every month.

There are paid and free uploads, and I can choose which ones are paid and which are free. I'd still make Patreon exclusives, which would be free now. Things like vore packs, big comics, and animations would be paid uploads, and you'd be charged if I did one.

I would not upload a paid thing more than once per month.

Hopefully this would mean I can make some higher quality things, instead of worry about posting something to Patreon every month.

I've also considered taking one tier out and replacing it with another, cheaper one. My $50 donation spot has never had a taker, yet my $15 (the next most expensive) has the most. I don't know what to replace it with yet, but the tier would be either $20 or $25.

You can find my Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/PWRof3D
I'll be a little quieter everywhere as I work on my school stuff, but I'd love the support.

I actually think you can 'follow' my patreon page without donating. I have no idea, but if anyone tries it let me know if that works.

And any suggestions you have for commissions, patreon rewards, or art themes, let me know. :)

What Commissions do you want to see?

Posted 10 years ago

There are a number of you who have asked me about commissions recently. I haven't been open due to school, but now that I have a breather I have been considering commissions again.

Here are my current options: http://sta.sh/21kqm94t5gy7

But I want to know what others you guys might be interested in.
Do you want to see Your Character Here or Do What You Want auctions?
Do you want animations?
Do you want me to try more digital drawings/sketches?

Secondly, if you make a suggestion, what would you pay for it? If its a YCH auction, what should be the starting bid?

Like, for example: I was considering new ways to include people's OCs. Original characters are kinda difficult for me right now, but I may have found that people's OC's feet are surprisingly doable. So I can do a 2 character image with your OC's feet sticking out the mouth of a predator. I'd probably charge somewhere around $25-$30 for that since I usually just need to swap out colors.

You can also suggest things for my Patreon page. What rewards would you want to see?

Dropped C#

Posted 10 years ago

I dropped the class today. I did it just in time really; the financial loss was minimal (almost nothing), and I still keep my scholarship.

More than likely Ill be taking the class again down the road. Hopefully with a better, lighter schedule so I can focus on the class more. I think the major cause for my meltdowns was spending hours on coding assignments and not homework for other classes. Then when I didn't see any progress on coding, despite all the time and effort I put in, I was worried about spending more time on coding to get it done and not working on the other classes. I was afraid of falling behind in other classes because this one class was taking up all my time.

I am a little regretful for dropping it. I've never just outright gave up on something before, its certainly not a nice feeling. Its kinda like that feeling you get after you hit a deer with your car; you feel terrible it happened, but you have to get over it and move on. Im sure Ill feel better as go about the week and not have to worry about working my math around the 10+ hours of coding I would have to do this weekend.

I'm not happy with myself, but in terms of my health and sanity it was the right choice.

Homework Headaches

Posted 10 years ago

I am a freaking mess right now. Im under so much stress that Im experiencing a complete breakdown. I just chucked my phone at the wall (which dented the wall, didn't break the phone), and now Im balling my eyes out on the floor trying to write this.

I really don't know how much more of this I can take. Im seriously considering dropping my coding class, because Im fine up until I try doing my coding homework. Then after several hours of failing, I completely lose it. I do all that work, all that intensive studying and reading and thinking, to end up with something that is completely broken

Im scared to drop the class though because it will ruin everything. My major will change, Ill lose a scholarship, everything Ive done for the last 3 years will be completely wasted.
But I cant handle this, I cant take these breakdowns anymore. I had one yesterday and I didn't want to eat anything. Its becoming unhealthy.
Ive never had this problem before, so I don't know how to handle it. I don't know what to expect or do, and I don't know if Ill get worse or things will just click next week and everything will be fine and dandy.

For those who are able to code, you may be able to help me at least get through this week. I gave up on the first problem, and Im just about to give on my second one. Here's my code: http://sta.sh/01dwdstjgslb
Its broken and incomplete. More than likely its horribly wrong.

But I need help. Do I drop? Should I try the tutor? The instructor has been amazingly helpful, its not like I cant get help from him. Something is wrong with me. I cant code. Period. I cant code.

3D Modelling Class

Posted 10 years ago

Between my math, coding, and project management classes; I had very little free time. Add this one, and Im booked.

So the bad news is I'll be posting very little. Im actually considering changing my Patreon from a monthly subscription to a by-upload subscription.

However, there is some good-ish news for me. My final project is to build game assets for my own game, like ready-to-go assets that just need a bit of code to work. Then near the end of the class I have to present the game concept and models to game companies in the area.

*faint*

Im nervous for the presentation for sure, but I will get a version of Maya for this class. And Ill be building my own stuff, no Daz models.

Ill try to make content here, especially testing Maya renders. But as I said in the previous journal, Ill be quiet when it comes to posting. Ill be checking DA and FA often still (I get bored), but new content might be rare.

I May Disappear for the Next 4 Months...

Posted 10 years ago

Don't freak out though, its just homework.

My homework load is insane. Absolutely insane. Free time no longer exists, in fact, I should not be writing this journal; Im wasting precious homework time!!

One class is a math class, so of course expect 50+ problems due in 2 days. That's how they all are.
The second class has so many different due dates. One paper is due this day, questions are due another day, project stuff is due a different day... Very little structure to the due dates.
A coding class will eat up 4-8 hours of my time each week guaranteed. I experienced that last semester.
The fourth (and thankfully final class) is a 3D modelling class. So the good news is Ill like it. The bad news is I have no idea how much work its going to be since Ill actually be building models instead of just posing them.

So yeah, I hope to get free time in between craziness. I do still plan on releasing the vore pack on time (see this journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6398745/ )

Other than that, if I don't post a lot, its because Im crazy busy.

New Vore Pack Coming Soon

Posted 10 years ago

I have a new vore pack coming out soon! This one's theme: Dinosaurs.

Im planning on having 12 images, all of them featuring some sort of dinosaur or dinosaur related creature. One of them is a non-vore image, its just a dinosaur :3. At least 2 of the images have been rendered in Vue 2014, which is a program I haven't used much but can produce some amazing results.

The pack will be $5 this time (I believe that is 400 Deviantart points if you want to use those).

School starts again this week, which Im excited because I have a 3D modeling class! :D
But if all goes well and I get enough free time, I hope to have the pack uploaded this weekend.

People who support me on Patreon ( http://www.patreon.com/PWRof3D ) will already get this pack for free.
For those who would rather buy it from me directly instead of using Patreon, I'll have it available for DA points or we can set up a Paypal transfer.

Future DWYW Auctions

Posted 10 years ago

I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on these Do What You Want auctions. Personally, I've been enjoying them and I'm willing to try more.

Do you have any suggestions? Are there specific character's you'd like to see? Would you like to see more characters that can be either predator or prey, or do you want to see just predators or just prey?

I hope in the future to include trades as part of the bidding. I was hoping to do that now, but I found myself a little short on money after buying books for college. So next time I hope to include trades.
Basically, you can bid using trade that's worth the same as your bid. All you need is a commission price sheet or journal. Hopefully that makes sense, I am having a hard time explaining it right now. XD

So yeah, any general thoughts?

On an unrelated note: school starts up next week starting on the 6th. I'll be much less active then (wow I posted a lot over the break, and Im still going!).
Sometime in the near future, Ill also write about the results of that Magic the Gathering coding project. I've just been all over, I haven't gotten around to talking about it.

Holiday Gift of sorts

Posted 10 years ago

Another huge milestone for me happened last night: I reached 300,000 page views! I know what your thinking though, "You crazy wyvern, you don't have 300,000 page views..." Well, not here. My DA account has just passed that mark.

That was... fast. I swear I was just at 200,000.

Not to mention, Im finally on break from school. I hope to knock out my commissions list completely. Riiight after some video games of course....

Ive been in a pretty good mood, so Ive decided to give you guys a holiday present-sort-of-thing. Nothing special, just a little lightly held secret.

Some of you already know this, and Ive already revealed this to the people at DA months ago, but I haven't said anything to my FA followers: I have a non vore account here as well. Ive kept it a secret because I didn't want my real-life friends or my non-vore followers to know about this account. Essentially, I wanted it to look like these two accounts were two different people. Its actually worked: only one person who was watching my non-vore account has found this one.

The problem is, this account gets 300 times more attention. It was hard for me to keep it a secret while one account flooded with activity and the other appeared dead at times.

So, if you're curious, the other non-predatory me is

I don't mind if you fave/comment/watch me there, but please don't mention vore or PWRof3D. Its still a secret that Im not ready to reveal to the watchers there yet.

Hopefully you guys find it somewhat interesting :)
