Thread of Fat Characters mod in Yakuza/Like A Dragon Franchise

So around 2 days ago my Ko-Fi page has been unpublished for “Sexual Nudity” Despite no post and no mention on which violated the rules. I made a new page just in case if my appeal got denied, https://ko-fi.com/relsow
It’s also in my linktree too

So Ko-Fi accepted the appeal and I don’t think I should delete the new page as it can be a backup page if my first page get suspension again or the other way around.

The second page got suspended, this time with a reason of “little to no content”, I’ve requested a case for the second page and just have to wait, the main page I quickly went change to that account and make a post of saying hi so it won’t mark with thr same reason and get suspended again. I’m mostly active in DA and Kovic’s server right now, and please do support me via Patreon and Ko-Fi(currently the main page), stay safe everyone and I got a fever so that kinda contradict my activeness :confused:

Need support DA post
I’m posting it here and my second page has now republished, so far I’m like $200 away from the gpu, I am asking for support here and I have a small announcement:
I added a certain benefit to both Patreon & Ko-Fi(both pages) and that is commission discount, this is the only I can think of for now and I will add new benefits as I continue to grow.
Tier 1-3: 5% discount
Tier 4-6: 10% discount
Tier 7-10: 25% discount
Other than that, I think posting on DA will help me get more recognition than only in this site so consider follow my DA account from that hyperlink and thank you everyone, stay safe and do support me on both pages!

Hey everyone, I have recently added new benefits to all my Patreon & Ko-Fi pages which you can check from my Support post on DA, stay sage everyone!

Hi everyone (●’◡’●)ノ

‎I hope you’re all doing well! I wanted to make this post to ask for some advice and suggestions regarding my Ko-fi and Patreon pages. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to make them more interesting and worthwhile for anyone who might want to support my work.

‎Right now, my audience is still pretty small — most people just fave my works without leaving comments, and that’s okay! But I really want to learn how to connect more with people, build a supportive community, and make my membership pages something worth joining.

‎My content mainly focuses on fat mods, weight-gain themed writing, and related renders (though I haven’t been able to make one since my GPU broke :sweat_smile:). I understand it’s a niche area, but I still want to grow and find ways to make things more fun and engaging for those who enjoy my work.

‎If you have any advice, suggestions, or even small feedback — about what kind of rewards, posts, or community ideas could help — I’d really appreciate it! :speech_balloon: Every little bit helps, and I truly want to make my pages something you’ll all enjoy.

‎Thank you so much for taking the time to read this — and for all the support you’ve already shown me through likes and faves. It really does mean a lot. :sparkling_heart:

Same thing I said but I posted it on DA and another reason is college as I want to earn from doing commissions and my pages being Patreon & Ko-Fi to avoid any issue especially cost-related during my time in college

Recently I got pressured about the money to get the gpu, then I had an intrusive thought of opening an OF page and I have a potential for it but I calmed doen and think positive things; I do think I can do an OF but problem is I am not so sure about it and decided I will do it as a last straw and I must have no regret while doing it but for now I won’t open an OF page,
reason for this happened earlier is that there’s no new paid member for my pages nor donation, despite asking suggestions and advice none interact me like commenting on how I would get people interested in joining my pages, nothing much but visiting the pages. I don’t know what I did wrong and maybe it’s just that I don’t have the audience yet to get the support I need, for now again I’ll think positive and writing my literatures including reposting my previous works. I recently got into drawing again, I got a help from a friend so hopefully I can do drawing content on DA too, ordered a stylus pen for my phone so I’ll practice on my sketch book.

Though if there’s a chance and hope I can grt is that bunch of whales who has fat fetish and enjoy my work can donate a lot of money to me and do membership. One can only dream. Stay safe everyone!

I’ll be opening small commission of $1-$5 to draw face to shoulder as I’m not good of an artist while waiting for new paid members on Patreon & Ko-Fi, speaking of the pages, I decided to open the same tiers on DA though core going will end soon this month. Anyway contact me via DC(_reloe) or dm here, don’t expect much though because I can’t draw that good and trying to save up for the gpu hence I’m opening the small commission. Stay safe everyone!

024-2025 recap/story-telling(long reading; not many will read it):
For those who checks this thread of mine, happy late 1st anniversary! My name’s ReLSow & I’m a mod creator that focuses on WG theme with games I have & enoy, I am a beginner game developer(SFW; 3 unfinished games I have yet to continue developing by the way) & artist(SFW/NSFW).

I’m mostly active on two sites which are very recent: DeviantArt & Twitter/X. I’ll be posting my drawings & mods on both sites as it’s a way to grow an audience, why you may ask?

October 2024, I started doing a fat mod of Kaoru Sayama from Yakuza Kiwami 2:


Reason of this mod existed was during that time before I made the very first post of this thread, this franchise didn’t have any fat mods hence I started doing one being Sayama. Looking back my way of adding fat proportion to the face was like a bee sting and swells up & the neck is too thin.

Same month, I made an Akame fat mod, similar to how I did to Sayama, it’s not really good:


Doing the body is a bit improvement and the fat proportion for the face and neck still remain the same. I was done with this mod and started the playable female party members in Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth.

The initial idea for body shape to these 3 characters: Chitose(pear), Saeko(apple) & Seonhee(hourglass). I started their face as a starter, if I’m being honest they don’t look too good than the first Sayama & Akame mod. I got some suggestions & opinions by the user @/Kurikinton; the faces were too puffy compared to their body, Saeko’s look was fine in most angles, the others being Chitose & Seonhee should have a bigger body to compensate or reduce the fat on their face & telling me about fat distribution on human anatomy, which I got hooked on.

Before I replied to said user, I contacted @/Baron_Obeefdip on Twitter/X:






They introduced some methods & a tool which I’ve been using for most of my mods now.

Days after, I updated the Sayama mod: I slightly touched up her face & reducing the puffiness, because of following human anatomy and a bit of realism I made her nose a bit bigger, porky:


Yet again, I didn’t do her neck & her collar.

Came the first Akame fat mod:




It certainly was an improvement after doing the update for Sayama & Infinite Wealth Female characters, doing the face gotten a bit better; after the mod was released I continue on doing all outfits for the Infinite Wealth, with how many outfits to mod it was so hard to do.
This was the time Baron sent an addon that help me reduce the work load on doing character’s multiple outfits to keep the least considerate constant shape from the main outfit to the other outfit, quote from me during that time:
“He said there’ll be some mistakes I have to smooth out, but it does like 90% of the work. Also, he recommend subdividing things once or twice before sculpting/transferring, but depending on the game that might cause issues, so he told me to maybe test if a mod can have a higher poly model before spending the time to sculpt it only for it to not work in game.”

Some times later, progression on the 3 characters’ fat mod:





I felt it was a good improvement but then the progress goes a bit too tad, Chitose was looking like a wooden doll that has it cheeks red, Saeko’s swimsuits have different sizes compare to the rest of her outfits & Seonhee’s outfits was missing excluding her Hawaii & Yokohama outfits.

A week after I’ve gone sick, bedridden for 3 days, all I was worrying about were my health & that most of the mods during the time don’t have subdivision modifier which I worked on later, after getting well I made a fat face mod of Hakase, a nurse from Lost Judgment:



She’s cute until I look back at how awful I was at making them, then I have a very bad encounter on DC, someone wanted to commission me to do the Lost Judgment the female side characters from the school side content & saying they’ll be paying me around $20 or so but I immediately blocked them & then later on some randoms asked me if I was going to do fat mods of them, my quote that time when I posted the fat face Hakase:
“If one of you ask a mod for the highschool girls like Amasawa & any female characters from the school side story also the main story girls Koda and Akane, you should seek help, clean yourself up & not fantasizing those underaged girls as the game never tell us their age but THEY’RE HIGHSCHOOL STUDENTS. Some randoms asked me if I were going to do this, I said of course not”.

2 weeks later & entered to November, I’ve been busy with my cousins who have been arrested by the police & stole most of my stuffs including my consoles which were the PS5 & Xbox Series X, ended up getting money from that whole ordeal; anyway, I continued doing the 3 characters again as well as Sayama to touch them up & I made one of the squishy face known to Ichiban:




This was my very first improvement on doing fat proportion to the face, then come to the generational Kson fat mod:


She’s one of the best face-scanned character I modded & ended up knowing her YouTube channel then starting watching until now, soon I met a user @/Raz0rm2nded which I am close friend with now, introduced to the Yakuza modding & I was one of the person who taught him to do better in doing fat character model.

Sooner than later, came the first fat mod of the playable female characters in Infinite wealth including Kson, quote of mine during that time:

"So I did mention why I don’t find the result satisfying, it’s because the inconsistent shape I’ve supposed to make them but a tool like mesh data transfer could work especially the bikini costumes they have can get fucked because different bra design. So far what I mostly enjoyed about my time working on these are their face being so squishy and I’m about to pass out because of the cuteness despite I love their face the issue I come across is doing all their outfits which crazed me enough because mesh data transfer doesn’t help me except facial, unrealistic body shape despite in my other pov it seems weird because and of course Kei(son) because she looks and very much having a realistic body shape and face; I referenced some real SSBBWs body shape while making her and I liked the result of her look at the end though some may not agree with her face especially that I still have Saeko as a literal daughter of The Blob and Big Bertha.

List of things I can say about this mod and next update after my break time over:
1)Inconsistent playable female characters’ body shape in each customes which crazed me.
2)An actual SSBBW Kei(son) that I enjoy making.
3)As a compensation to No. 1, squishy face for those 3 playable female characters, lovely ain’t it)
4)No Celebratory Tshirts model because I want to release it first then I’ll do this but I have the Idol and Housekeeper modded
5)In the mod you’ll be find some leftover of my work, it’s basically the pre-updated character’s face model(named with “fatified” in the file name) and the original model(named with “copy” in the file name); You can use however you want with my mod like modify them to look better, fill yourself with deep fantasy of making their face look like most blob arts or making their body huge and everything else.
6)No changes in animation which I will do next time to fit their body.
7)Seonhee’s Chitose outfit will be in the next update because I lost it."

A month after & entered December, I started doing fat mods for Judgment with Mafuyu comes first:


It was me trying to do Kahuurinzan’s way of doing fat face in their drawing which translated to fat body horror apparently; this prompted me to my 2 ways of doing fat mods: the realistically way & the unrealistically way which are easily just achieveable fat proportion & fantasy-fictional fat proportion. Soon enough I tried texture edit to remove the shadow under Mafuyu chin & ended up way more horror as possible:

It showed her skin pores & look shinier & oily chins which is cute but quite problematic, then ended up making Smiling Friends CEO for Saori:

Because I lost all of my writing because of accidental refresh like what the fuck it doesn’t save the progress of myself writing for 3 hours during the draft, I’ll speed it up:

I contacted an artist named “Vivikuri” & they taught me a lot, I’ve been doing more personal Judgment fat mods of the side characters. Masking, fat distribution & human anatomy in more detailed & informational; I learned about tris & quad models too.

Happy new year of 2025 & entered January, Razor been doing well in his modding & I met a user @/MoistKovic I am close friend with him now and was surprised my mods were used as commission references.

Well to put it simply, for the past months & after January, I’ve been making my slops to the blobs as I spent those months posting blob mods & loving to experiment shapes & size. I can’t waste my time anymore to recap February until July, you can check it out later.

Late August, while adjusting the blob Chitose mod, my pc was shutting down then it restarted by itself & when I checked the motheboard debug info it blipped the gpu & beeping, I unplugged the gpu & that inside my gpu was damaged really bad & burnt.

Now for the reason why I am growing an audience, I am saving up for a new gpu by doing Ko-Fi & Patreon, posting my previous mods & drawings on DA & Twitter/X & writing literatures on DA. The gpu I am after is the RTX 3060 Asus Dual 12 gb OC Edition which is beneficial to me and needed around $300, I save up about $72.14 now though I did get a lot before around $180 by Kovic & another close friend Saiyan but I spent on old bills to help my parents, my little sister’s birthday present as I never buy her expensive gifts before to her & payment for an injury I got weeks ago to my right feet which was sprained, family matters most which is why I spent about $107.86 from the savings for the gpu; I’m Indonesian & converting USD to Indonesian Rupiah is a lot of money here. I made memberships on Ko-Fi & Patreon to earn each month for general support with their own benefits.

Now here I am in present time, trying to grow an audience to get the support I needed, opening a small commission of $5 to draw & waiting for new members on Ko-Fi & Patreon as well as donations too, I won’t get it as fast as I can with one reason that I’m going to college in 8 months which feels like time is going fast whenever I blink, I don’t want to be greedy with money but I really need it. No one or at least small amount of people will be reading till here because I am a stranger to them to ask for money to be able to buy a new gpu. I got pressured to do an OnlyFans page but I calmed down, thinking it through first. I feel tired now because of financial struggles, as soon as I get the gpu, I’m opening commission for Yakuza then Resident Evil if I can. Thank you for reading this, please… do support me on Ko-Fi & Patreon. I feel tired… I think to myself I won’t get what I need after all this, and will be a joke anyway to everyone. Bye everyone & stay safe!

I’m sad, not telling why unless you read the whole late 1st anniversary post, anyway I’ve been getting bit more of recognition with my mods & drawing so hoping I can get the support I needed on my pages in 8 months though I want it before 8, maybe in 6 months; just going to say my b’day is 21 May which doesn’t help me at receiving gifts from friends/mutuals. I was told to try growing my audience first on DA & try not to focus on the pages but I always feel pressured by it, simply stressed out, I will ask the same thing being suggestions & advice here: what kind of benefits should I add for each set of tiers, what content you would like to see in the pages, what should I improve & many other things for my pages & myself. Unfortunately, no one will read this most of thr time & little to no interaction with me, just like real life.

Taking a break for a while

Black Friday promo for Patreon
Code: BF50 & BF25
25% discount on tier 1-6
50% discount on tier 7-10
https://www.patreon.com/ReloeYanto

Can’t really tell but doing Black Friday promotion does nothing at all, since I can’t get much & little to no suggestions & what they want to see from my page, what I can offer to them, for people to join as a paid membership, I’ve been getting free members yes but genuinely can’t tell if I will get new paid members on my Patreon with my current goals are 50 Patrons & $300 for the gpu. I’ve cleared all bills and I ended up having $27.09, from $180 to that to clear bills & buying an expensive gift to my little sister for the first time.

Well since this thread is more to my current situation than just modding Yakuza games, I am currently drawing as a beginner on DA & Patreon but on a break & will be back soon, will be posting like on weekends for these weeks as I have my first semester exam because this is my last year & I’ll have to gocus on it but still I will draw at weekends though posting on Patreon first.

If you can help me to reach my goals, getting the gpu is really important to me, please do join membership on my Patreon or donate through my Ko-Fi pages! Stay safe everyone & hoping I can get more Patrons & earn money from doing what I love to do.

With Christmas is 20 days left & 2026 is 27 days, discount codes on joining my Patreon:
XMASNY50(Tier1-6)
XMASNY75(Tier 7-10)

Since I am expecting element of surprise in Christmas & New Year with these codes on Patreon expire on 2 January 2026 for new members & maybe donations for my wishlist, I know well that I won’t get any new paid members with my effort in drawing & I just know that my drawings are unsatisfying & plain because it’s messy & shading looks bad, what I meant to say is getting back on making fat mods & renders including opening commission will be slow & I don’t think I will get the gpu with the amount of money from my income being on Patreon & part time job if I’m lucky to have leftovers from buying important stuffs I need in daily life; I was thinking to do videos on a phone in a new YT channel for gaming-commentary & martial art stuff but I have low confidence in the channel will work out to monetization & that I hate I have to hide stuff like identity shifts like a different personality.

Here, Deviantart, X & YouTube, I’m just a nobody that rarely gets any interaction with nothing but views, sure maybe a thousands or more people have seen my work but I’m never sure if they like my stuff, interested in my work that I can get a support, but that’s not how it work because I have to build my audience to get the support I needed with having to be blind without feedbacks on what good or bad about the work I have made including what’s good or bad about myself. I just feel paranoia that I am too desperate for money despite doing my best but it barely gets any attention on any sites I mentioned at the start of this paragraph, maybe those thousands of people just scroll by browsing in the internet, found my work & check for a second then click off.

After saying all this, no one will see this & question about it, maybe a friend but I just expect no one will do. Now another thing, I might have to make a new thread of Like A Dragon because of this site’s update regarding mods & games, this thread alone already goes off topic & not many go to this thread, once I get the gpu as fast as I can if any of you are willing to help me by donation via Ko-Fi, doing membership via Patreon & commission me $5 to draw. It’s better to make a new one because there are a lot of outdated stuff here other than my current status, once I make the new thread this’ll be kept as an archive if I can & I don’t plan to delete it.

Be safe and good luck.
