The Low Roads, chapter 3 (comic, F/F, UB; M/F, feet; various).

[cyclypse]

W00T! More Low Roads! Fantastic art and INCREDIBLE story telling as always LBH! Keep it up!

 

[Low_Roads]

Thank you, Sumssammysax! So glad you found the nylon-ripping effective... I'd never drawn nylon stockings before, so everything I did with them was experimental. As for the dialogue, I customarily let the tickler do the talking during tickle torment, reason being that I don't write victim dialogue very well (I defer to folks like Chimp of Anime in this area); I can never figure out how to work in the "ha-ha"s! 😀

So kind of you to say so, Anime! I appreciate that very much from someone who knows art and storytelling so very well! I'll do my very best to keep the ball rolling! And please give my best to Jipsy and Yuri! Their adventure can't continue soon enough for me!

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Another good one LBH 😀 . The storytelling is great, and the artwork is very distinctive 🙂 . *says generic keep it up comment*

 

[Low_Roads]

Thank you for the compliments, Kimiko! Most pleased you enjoyed ths story! I'm making good progress on the next script, so I should be able to have Chapter 4 finished quite soon (like, in another couple of months, if I'm running true to form! 😛 )

 

[LonelyKimiko]

I await with eager anticipation 😀 .

 

[Ignatz]

A belated high five for Chapter 3, Hoss. (Wish you could hook up with a good animator and a well-heeled production company.)

 

[Low_Roads]

Thanks so much, Ignatz! Never too late to post! Heheh! A Low Roads animated cartoon would be great fun to do! Dunno if the kids would put up with all the chat, though! 😛

Wonderful, WONDERFUL work!

That was the most descriptive, sensual and poetic description of foot tickling I have EVER read! :happy: Your writing is exquisite...your artwork is exceptional! What I love about your art is that it is uniquely yours...I've never seen a style quite like it...The torturous devil with the double tongue reminded me of Ticklor! The unfortunate thing about your work is...after all of your time invested and efforts utilized...I WANT MORE!!

Thank you so much, Littlebighead! 😀

 

[Low_Roads]

Wow! That's very kind of you, Tkltkltkl! So very gratifying! Thank you! I wouldn't be surprised at all if Little Big Head and your fiendish, wonderfully sadistic Ticklor weren't close blood kin! They're certainly cousins in spirit, at the very least!

 

[Kalamos]

...

[You know what I'd be going to say.]

 

[Low_Roads]

Thank you, Kal! What on earth became of you! You disappeared for awhile (or at least stayed silent; I know you're on stealth mode)! Probably not as long as it seemed... these forums have a way of compressing time... but long enough that I was getting nervous! Anyway, welcome back!

 

[Kalamos]

I just... refrained from posting for a while.
Lurking is good for health. Gives things a whole new perspective.

😀

...

Yep, this piece of art of yours is great.
You really know how to spin a graphical tale.

I'm almost forgetting about the tickling part, and I'm keener on knowing what's going to happen next.

...

You know what?
I'd like to see what's been of that clay model you've posted pics of a while ago.
And if I could urge you to draw on, I'd like to see those sci-fi panels turn into a full blown comic.

...

I'm actually loving your stuff beyond and above the fetish value.
And I waste way too much of my time reading comics, so it really means something.

😀

 

[Low_Roads]

Wow! Thanks for saying so, Kal! That means a great deal to me! Actually, the fetish involvment in the next chapter is gonna be a bit oblique. That'll be the necro-tickling chapter we discussed months back, and I've stuctured the script in such a way as to minimize any askance reaction. The required tickling quotient will definitely be there, but I'll use some time displacement and editing to keep things active (distraction tactics!) Frankly, I don't know how well this will work. We'll see. Aside from that, the chapter will have a lot of exposition and tell a great deal of background history.

My Sculpey model is in just about the same state it was when I took the pictures. I haven't given up on it... I have rethought the project slightly. Instead of stocking the figure, I intend to position her flat on her back, staked to the ground. That will simplify the talbeau and make it more feasible (besides, the stocks scenario was a bit of cliche). Finding time to work on it is tough because the Low Roads story is so time consuming. I really do need to get this darned sculpture done and out of my hair. It wouldn't take more than a weekend, probably. After I've completed Chapter 5 of the story, I'll feel more confident that it's been established, and will take a bit of time to complete other projects. Till then, I have to locate a working SLR camera. Everything I've used up to this point (borrowed equipment) is now inoperable. I've wanted a little SLR camera for general needs anyway.

I'd been cagey about doing anything with "Spectacles of Doom" (the space story) because a huge amount of the background detail was created by a good friend of mine. Well, he died last year, which leaves me in sole control of the property. I could indeed adapt the story now... I'd like to. The artwork is going completely to waste as things stand. It's not a bad adventure yarn, but the exposition is a bit stilted and the resolultion stinks. I'd have to come up with some econimic way of revising it without rewriting the whole darned thing. And it's huge. It could easily take several years to present at a chapter a week. Aw, I'll probably just adapt it as is. I don't want to waste too much time trying to fix it. I doubt it's that improvable, no matter how much effort I put in.

Enough about me, though. What projects do you have in the works? Please don't tell me "nothing"... this site can't survive long without Kalamos contributions!

 

[Kalamos]

Allow me to be terse commenting on your plans: impressive. 🙂

...

About mine, "nothing" is the right, albeit disappointing to some, answer.
As I keep saying to the point of boredom, I'm not having fun as I used to have.

Maybe I never really had enough fun... 😀

...

I'm not saying I won't post even a single picture anymore.
But I wouldn't consider my contributions "lifesavers" or anything.

They were just for fun.
As soon as I can find some more, I'll resume posting. 😉

...

About the Spectacle of Doom story, I'm sorry for your loss.

If you think it would be feasible, you might try and post it as a webcomic.
A lot of self-appointed artists do that; I can't see why you couldn't set up your own site.
Unless you've already done it, that is...

😀

About the Spectacle of Doom story, I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you Kal. He's been gone several months now and I'm fully resigned to it. And he left quite a creative legacy. A lot of it was inspiration to me.

A web-site, eh? That sounds like a lot of work.😛 Most likely I'll just post here, where other folks take care of the bothersome details. I'll have to figure out how much material to present at one time (probably 10-15 pages' worth... it'd be tough to get any story arc using less), and how often to post (every week? Every 2 weeks? I'm not sure how much effort this will all entail... not much, probably. The panels are already finsihed; arranging them is the only thing that will take time). If folks start to complain about the spent space, I'll figure out something else then.

Yeah... I know you're not getting the same kick out of creating pictures that you used to. Of course, you've already made your mark... you might never draw another thing, and your place in the internet art world would be entirely secure... but what a loss for the rest of us! I suppose there's a certain amount of avarice on our part... this community is always ravenous for new art creations, especially when it's the high quality stuff you offer. Best you take your time and let your Muse return naturally... new Kalamos artwork will always be an event, not matter when or how often it appears.

A deep knowledge about people's mind, fears and ego, i'd like to chat with you, if you want it, do you ?. When i get fixed my chat tool, then i'll tell you. Excellent story, i must to say !! 🙂.

 

[Low_Roads]

Sure! Let me know! My IM chat isn't that great (I tend to be stilted in impromptu situations), but I'm certainly willing to give it a try!

Yet again, thanks for the bump! I hope the chapters are making sense in reverse order!😉

 

[cosquillero1]

Thank you, i wish to include to Kalamos in the chat, because i enjoy so much to talk with him, i hope than that will be ok for you too 😉.

Yet again, thanks for the bump! I hope the chapters are making sense in reverse order!😉

Yeah, absolutely, that's because the story is really well narrated 🙂.

Sounds very good to me! I never turn down an opportunity to talk to Kal!

 

[Kalamos]

Drop me a PM, though. I'm not sure you got my ID, or me yours.

Yeah, I still want to talk to you on IM's too LBH. ^_^ .

 

[Low_Roads]

Yeah, I still want to talk to you on IM's too LBH. ^_^ .

Me too, Kimi! I've had your address on my Buddy's List ever since we discussed the idea; twice actually, once for my AIM and once with an MSN suffix (I was grasping there; sometimes I can see that my potential Buddies are online, even when I can't contact them). Thus far, not a flicker. Our systems just don't seem to be compatible. :sad: It's a problem that's plagued me before, alas.

 

[Darth Vegeta]

This one is truly among your three best ^^

 

[Low_Roads]

Thanks for the mighty bump, Darth V! Chapter 3 has always been one of my personal favorites... Mercy's mild betrayal of Angie creates a sort of dangerous, forbidding frission that I really like. So glad it's clicked with you!

 

[Darth Vegeta]

Hehe indeed it has ^__^
Your drawingstyle and the story has a creepy edge.
it surprised me that i actually like it at first but it's really grown on me.
Your coloring and artstyle on top of that is VERY GOOD but also VERY UNIQUE.
