This image took a bit more time since I had to create some good looking 3d props for future images/re-using them. This costs a bit of time when making them but speeds up the creation of new images as we go along. Also I'm still not completely satisfied with the background since the the background props didn't come out as good as I would've hoped. I'll work on the background a bit more tomorrow. I also struggled with the lighting of the scene even though the character looks good I think. Last but not least I spent a long time correcting/re-writing the text in order to make it fit the page. In the end, I fixed it by scaling the image down slightly in order to preserve some of the details happening in the conversation between Lyana and Miss Ito. I felt that some of these were important to make people realize why things happened this way and why Miss Ito's resort is so mysterious. A moment of: "Ah so that's why and how they do it..."
Anyway... In other news... I had fun working on this image and decided to add a few variants. As such, I will upload the 'whipped' 'sweat' and 'red blush' versions tomorrow along with some text. I said I wouldn't do this anymore but this image (and Lyana) was begging for it. It's an extra for the people who support me!
