TD - Nice to hear from you, brother! Long time, no chatty.
I've been enjoying your recent works as well, very much so.
🙂
jkb - Wow! I'm glad this humble set inspired so much thought. I really do actually enjoy critiques, they help me find new directions to go in. The most important thing to remember with this set, however, is that is IS an unfinished set that I was never going to post in the first place. I did not get a chance to do the work on it I really wanted to after losing the pz3 files. I won't go into a long tech lesson on the ins and outs of CGI artwork, but without the original files, I couldn't "go back and make the eyes more intense" or things like that. It's why I stressed that there are things in these images that I don't consider up to par with what I'd usually release.
I agree wholeheartedly...I love that look of fear in the eyes. I'm stoked that you remember the Suspension Stocks set and the various Immobilzer pieces. Again, I'm not all that thrilled with the look on her face here myself. Also, Sara's hands actually
are in the same place in the first three images...because they were different camera angles of basically the same shot. I was checking out different angles for the submission that never happened and saved various angles for reference, and that's what became these images. It's all I really had of the set to work with before losing the files. The last one was a slightly different story, and I can work off of that.
I'm in agreement with you about artwork realizing the things we can't see in photos or other realities. I'm looking into exploring some more really out-there fantasy sets and taking my artwork into new places. I can't guarantee a complete hentai sort of look, as I'm personally a bit more limited than you on what I get out of that genre, but it does hold some level of fascination with me...so yes....
there will be tentacles.
😉 The characters from certain games and such are a bit trickier, as I can't "just draw them" with this kind of artwork...but I'm going to see what I can do to expand a bit. And yes, this particular victim
is a little hottie, isn't she? I'm definitely using her more. I'll be honest, I'm not really sure what you mean by the "hairy crotches" of earlier works, as I've always favored the shaven-ish look myself in most of my work. Yeah, the original Suspension Stocks featured a bit of what you're saying, but I usually tend to go more "clean"
😉
Finally, it's funny you brought up the Felicia thing. Wanna know something strange? I was looking through stuff I'd done and set aside, and came across a few images I'd done when we talked about Felicia on the Immobilizer a long time ago. I still have them, and with a different configuration for that sadistic little device. I even have the original pz3's, so I can work on them a bit and see what I can do. Keep your eyes open.
Wow, I got a lot of work ahead of me. Thanks guys for the input, comments and support.
