Pretty good aye

This week I feel like we caught up with the ideal productivity.
Got a whopping three images out, one of which is a near duplicate of the other but it was for a worthy cause so definitely justified. I finished my runs with Sekiro so that won't be looming on my back anymore, as a substitute I took to Ace Attorney for a time, but my enthusiasm for that seems to have run it's course already. I love Phoenix Wright but I feel I would be doing the game a disservice if I was tryna force it down without absorbing its brilliant writing and Iconic characters with the proper respect. I'm considering playing the DOOM games again (2016 and Eternal) as a palette cleanser and dessert but we'll just have to wait and see, in any case my soul seems to yearn for some primal action.

One other thing I should mention.
Before I'm ready to continue with my Espeon related shenanigans I have another hobby-related chore that I need to get out of the way which I won't elaborate on here, suffice to say that I won't be able to give the photoseries my full focus if I don't sort this thing out first, speaking of-

-

E.BJ 1.1, as stated in the description is intended as the starter of a short series for the orally inclined, perhaps more if I feel like it. As some of you are doubtless aware, there are plenty of photoseries of this type out there, easy referral would be ArtistCG categories on some hentai sites where the images get minor alterations and new text for consecutive pages. I always found these a fascinating form of hentaimaking, I had this notion that surely there'd be a lot of time saved and more room left for elaborate/descriptive storytelling. I still believe the timesaving aspect to be true to an extent, but again I find myself humbled by the sheer labor of it all as I'm fuming over things such as the following:
How do I keep the imagequality and rendering style consistent across the board?
Where can I take shortcuts and where should plan redrawing either subject in a new position etc, what are the appropriate justifications for these moves?
IF I decide to go for writing dialogue, How much am I really willing to write? Did I leave enough space in the frame and how do I make/obtain a readable typeset?
What kindof writing would be appropriate for this anyway if I wanna keep it sensual? How much context do I have to provide potential readers about the situation, does it need context?
How much time am I willing to set aside to study contemporary works for examples on what's good and what ain't?

Point is there's a lot going on, and like I've mentioned before I don't wanna submit sub-par work. I'm not exactly in a hurry or anything either but I don't really wanna waste my time on some ingredient that would'nt go in the pot so to speak. Still, I think these are all interesting questions with a lot of answers to them. Some of those answers may seem obvious to you, but before you get any ideas you must understand that I'm not asking for advice here, this is just things that I'm considering out loud.

Anyway let's talk more about the images that DO exist.
The Original image (titled E.BJ 1 proto) had some redundancies like very awkward looking human thighs on the bottom of the frame, my peers agreed with me that our saluting trooper was found a tad too short, and the subjects expression, while decent, looked to me like a placeholder at best.   Inafox astutely mentioned that the new one is much more sensual and that is indeed what I want to convey instead of rampant lust ahegao bullshit, atleast for the time being.
E.BJ 1.1 has all the glaring flaws rectified, However, I'm looking at it now and just wondering if going for such an extreme close-up was such a good idea. I'm wondering if higher contrast in lighting would do something good to the feel of it, and worrying about how awkward it might get when I start posing the two subjects around. It's gonna be a challenge for me but at this point there's no other choice but to bite the bullet.
We should also acknowledge the Tender Horsea image, I made it over a quick evening in exchange for a quick favor IRL and there's not a lot I can say that hasn't already been said in its description. It was kinda fun to make, I still think the scene is pretty succesful for my standards and I look forward to making pictures with other pokemon in the future. Dude licking a Horseas broodpouch is pretty out there, but I in turn invite you to look up an actual seahorses sexual organs/behavior, and then tell me to my face what I shoulda done with that :D.

Lastly, as per usual, I wanna acknowledge account related things.

Like I said, I'm happy we got caught up with a better imagemaking quota, the works themselves have been satisfactory and good for my learning. I even made some sufficient backgrounds for once which I'm very happy about, it was a larger hurdle for me to overcome than you might think.
I STILL continue to lust over Espeons as is made evident by my producing of them. This creature wanders the umbral plains of my raunchiest dreams, and I, deranged and decadent, am the cunt-starved beast that stalks its every graceful step. This habit is gonna die hard, harder than the actual Die-Hard directed by John McTiernan which I would recommend to anyone looking for a good time.

Again, I'd like to give my sincere thanks to the people who've dropped Favorites for even the shittier test pieces, it keeps happening, and it continues to be more encouraging than you know.
I'd also like to give special thanks to my actual watchers who continue to steadily grow in number, you know who you are and must also know that I still appreciate you.
Due acknowledgement must needs be given to those who have bravely engaged me with their friendly comments, I'd ofcourse like to see more of them but I'm not complaining, just happy and eager to talk to you :3

As always, Please continue to look forward to the next thing.
