UPDATE (Comic + 🔞 Important modification on my dragons?)

__________________________________________________________Hi REWRveryone!
It's something I usually wouldn't want to talk about, but... for some reasons, and after answering to a freshly new comment about my ongoing adult comic which suffered of a loooooooooong break, I decided to write it down.
__________________________________________________________First of all and before I start writing, a friendly reminder that I'm ‼️ ✨ OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS ✨ ‼️
If you're interested, the informations are here: https://bsky.app/profile/akelun.bsk...../3logo3qokyc2q __________________________________________________________Then, back to the initial subject of this journal.
First, I've rewritten the script for my NSFW current comic. The base is more or less the same, but some conversations has changed, for the better. And now, the script not only has the latest and final names of my characters, but it's also updated with the new characters and relationship in my main story, leading to a more coherent story and situation.
The script (which is now redacted as a short novel) is only done in French atm. I will share it once it's translated... And DAMN how much work it will be to do that... 😰
So, now that it's rewritten, even if it's only in French, I can start to edit the sketch pages... and eventually redraw what I need.
One of the questions I'm struggling with, tbh... is the style of my comic pages. You may have observed it, I tried a lot of styles... Cell shading, soft shading, lineless soft shading... One thing for sure is that Cell shading is eliminated. I don't like it. Then, I have a preference for lineless soft shading... BUT I feel like I'm better at rendering good scenes in soft shading with lineart. So... I'm quite in a conflict between myself, having a hard time deciding where I need to go...
Probably the best option is the one with the best render, though (so, Soft shading with Lineart, I guess)... If you have any opinion about it, feel free to comment.
__________________________________________________________Last, but not the least important, point I'm struggling with is... my dragons' genitals (and thus why this journal is for adults only). For a long time, I insisted to have my male dragons' genitals to be with a sheath and a scrotum. I've always found it more good-looking... more virile... And I even made the 3D model of my dragon Nivalem based on that.
Though, with time... we can all change our mind. And my appreciation about that has changed a little. Scrotum and sheath still look great and virile on dragons... it's just that I find it gives a less slim look to my dragons... that it's less aerodynamical... and more importantly, less good-looking than I imagined on hermaphrodites (like Nivalem).
So... after some thinking... I'm wondering if I won't change that part on my dragons (males and herms), and taking advantage of the rewriting of the script to edit the pages, and remake them with my males and herms (so, Nivalem and Seros) having a slit for the male parts, instead of a sheath + scrotum...
If you have any opinion about it, feel free to share. I can even understand and accept comments saying that you would be disappointed if I apply this change... or also, on the contrary, if you find the idea great and would prefer my comic this way.
__________________________________________________________Thank you for your time, reading all of this.
As I said, feel free to comment, really. Maybe it can even help me making my final decision. Who knows...? 😝
And on these final words, I wish you all a good day or evening! Take care, REWRveryone! =3
The thing is, my dragons not only have the 3 sexes (male, female or herm), but they also have the ability of CHANGING of sex during their life if they need to. Like... a thing that I know, but I'm not sure if I will precise it, is that Nivalem's mother was a male for almost her whole life. She changed to become a female when she was like 70 years old, something like that.
And doing that means that when my dragons change of sex, then, a male's part would have to change drastically if he becomes an herm... That wouldn't make sense in my mind.
No, one thing for sure is that the male parts of males and herms HAVE to be the same.
Thanks for the suggestion though. I have to admit it could have been an original and interesting idea. ^w^
But the thing is... I still find it weird and less good-looking on an herm. Surely, if I decide to keep the sheath + scrotum idea, I will keep it that way, but slits are starting to seem to look better on a dragon in my mind.
Well, no, having the idea to have the sheath + scrotum retracting into a slit while flying or soft, I also had that idea, but... I find it too weird. It doesn't look... natural or even practicable.
We're lucky to have such wonderful art from you either way!
Sorry if that's the case and if I'll decide to apply the change. I'm still hesitating and thinking about it, and... even if I'll find sad to know that some of my followers would enjoy my artworks less because of that decision, I will go with it anyway if I feel it's how I want it to be in the end. As you said, it will be my choice. But I wanted to sound out the audience (I think it's how we say it in English?).
Thanks for the compliment about my artworks, btw. I'm happy to read that you find them "wonderful". *PURR* ^w^
Maybe I'm the one who didn't answer so cleverly... ^^'
I don't intend to be influenced by other people's opinions anyway. I do my drawings for myself first and foremost, and I hadn't taken it negatively when he told me he liked the “sheath & scrotum” version so far. Don't worry.
Besides, I can always commission you to make a dragon with a scrotum and sheathe if I feel like it, hehe!
(That sentence sounded a bit weird, LOL! XD)
True that. Well, if you're interested one day to do it again, feel free to tell me. My commissions are open. ;)
