I mentioned at the end of 2023/start of 2024 that I was gonna do some Kanna. Well, it only took a year and a half to get there. Better late than never, I say. I did have some finished from back then, but I've done some small updates to them. Namely to adjust the scene and what not, since I went for a different part of the Venus Vacation beach compared to the beach I always use, but that was about it for the older ones. I had started on the 'big animation' of this set back then too, but I scrapped what I had because it was just a mess working with something like that. It's kind of like getting half-way through an RPG, taking a 'break'(a year long one) and coming back to your save going 'okay, what was I doing?' and aimlessly faffing about until you just decide to do a fresh restart. 

That said, I would have liked to do a little more than this with her, but after that big animation, my brain was just like 'alright, you're done. Pack it up'. So, I did. No clue what I'll be doing next at this point; will be posting the poll tomorrow/day-after-tomorrow, along with a very small animation pack. After that, I'll be on a small 'refresh' to try to come up with something new. I'll try to keep you all informed of when I start on something, at least. Don't like to keep people waiting.

Just the poll animations releasing today. I've been a combination of lazy and under-the-weather, so the next set has been delayed some. It's a decent ways along, but still needs more time in the oven. Should drop next week, at least. It's a bit akin to clearing out my backlog with this release. Likewise, the next poll selection thing like Lulu/Nayo will be a smaller set, just to accomodate my procrastination. But yeah, that's about all I got for now. Still gotta rig up some of the poll characters, so can't really preview that either right now. Should have everything ready to go soon, though.

This wasn't even really a contest.

Reika wins by a huge margin. Almost triple that of either of the other two. As expected(at least by me). Reika's popularity in VV is really high, and that's mostly translated to the results of my polls, and it was the case indeed. Still, everyone crossed the minimum threshold once again, so everyone gets something. I will also be doing something a little different this time. I started on the animations Monday, and I finished the five Tuesday. So, uh... I'm doing double to match the last two of my 'personal picks'(Lulu and Nayo), since I've got the time. Probably won't happen each time, but just doing it while I feel like it. Since I still haven't fully decided on who to animate next. Got too many ideas bouncing around that I've been toying with, but nothing has really stuck. Still, I'll leave you with this:

A possible companion piece to the Luna car set? Perhaps, perhaps... 

Poll post will be delayed slightly, just because it's nicer to release on a weekend than middle of the week, lol. Everything is done and ready to go, just waiting for that weekend release. As the above shows, the poll itself will feature Lisa, Reika and Monica. As for who will feature in the animations to release alongside them, I won't spoil it. It's of a character I featured in my pfp last year and planned to do, but never actually did, if anyone remembers.

As for the little ramble, just gonna talk a bit about some 'potential' things. Namely of some stuff I've been asked about. For example, the updated models for Prism - have yet to see those in the wild, and I'm not sure if anyone is really working on getting those models. I'm actually quite looking forward to those particular models, but can't do much about it at this point. Another similar one is Rise of Ronin - I've yet to play the game, so I don't know any of the characters in there, but I also haven't seen anything in the wild so I'm not sure when or if they'll be available. It is something I'd like to do, along with a return to Nioh(while trying to avoid doing another Miyoshino set and actually do someone else, lol. I like her too much), but we'll see what happens. 

Beyond those two, while I've yet to be asked about it, I feel like someone will eventually ask about Expedition 33, and I'll say I actually plan on playing that(...someday), but I don't know if I'll do anything of it. Just saying. And then there is, of course, a big elephant in the room: Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth...

Okay, moving on. No, but really, I don't have any interest in the characters introduced in Rebirth, so I don't expect to do anything anytime soon. Maybe it'll eventually happen if I'm bored, but I'd rather do characters I've already done - and get around to more XVI stuff - than the new ones in Rebirth. I've looked at the models and what not, and nothing stood out to me. At most, the ShinRa Commander is kind of interesting, but I dunno if I'll actually do anything. Honestly, the one I most wanted to do was MAI, because everyone seems to hate her and that amuses me. But alas, I hear she only exists as mp4s. Very sad.

But yeah, just a small little update on that front. I'm flying blind as to what I will be doing next. Got various ideas bopping around in my head, but not sure which one I will end up settling on. Won't talk about any of them, since I can't say for sure if any of them will actually be what I end up doing, lol. But anyway, see ya in a couple days for the poll.
