[COMMISSION IDEA] Into the Strikerverse
a year ago
Those of you who've been following me for a while should be familiar with the work of StrikerSA. He is a long-standing, talented and passionate artist, not to mention a friendly and empathetic individual. His artwork helped me realise that I have a quicksand and muckplay kink, and I've always had a soft spot for his cast of original characters.
In fact, if you are a fellow watcher of Striker's gallery, you may have noticed a few commissions I've gotten from him which star his OCs exclusively. I've always thought such pics are a better fit for his gallery than mine, but that doesn't mean I'm not highly satisfied with the work he's done.
Striker's commissions have always been much cheaper than they ought to be- yet more proof that Striker draws for the love of the game- so normally I wouldn't need to solicit co-funding like this. But sometimes I can't help but dream big things when I see his work.
For instance, his two-parter from last year, Don't Drink and Drive:

This amusing series of events sees Striker's cast of ladies on a joyride across the sea, with a drunken Phoenix at the helm of the motorboat. Despite Tizi's concerns and Mei Jing's optimism, we next see the boat with a massive gash on its side. The boat has gone under, and the girls go down with it once more.
Naturally, I've come up with a follow-up to that duology. I won't spoil too many details, but it goes like this: The first of two images will see the girls walking along the sea-bed, having abandoned the boat, making their way to the shore. There are a few blubby grumblings among the group, more concerned about the arduous walk between them and the shore than any danger of drowning. Mei Jing blurbles out something along the lines of "it's not like we can sink a second time, right?" Meanwhile, a couple of the girls notice their feet slip a little lower into the sand...
The next pic shows the girls in a scenic patch of underwater quicksand seamlessly blending into the seabed, with everyone having sunk up to their nostrils at least. The few girls whose eyes remain above the quicksand are giving Mei Jing the dirtiest looks you can imagine.
As much as I'd like to get these pics, their scale adds up quite a lot. Two eight-char color pics with backgrounds would cost a total of $190- an absolute steal for the volume and quality of the art, but still more than I can spare at a time. But I know I'm not the only fan of Striker's work, so who knows?
That's just one example, but there are plenty more scenarios I could put his characters in. And if Striker ever decides to take comic comms again, I'll have more ideas still. For now, though, we can focus on the concept above.
