Claire succubus color practice, open window/casual outfit, skimpy ronin outfit! - SKETCH - July 17th

so here's some color/lighting practice and sketches after working on Durger's commission a lil bit!!  

so starting with the main beef on the left, is Claire with some night-time shading practice!! so something learned right away from working on the lion femboy, was that the background is really important to determine the lighting for the character! i mean it's obvious, but it's always been easier for me to finish characters and THEN work on the background. it'll be a habit to break, but it will help in the long run. as a result, the body was sketched first, lined, and then the simple night sky background, and then the coloring and shading. as you can plainly see with your functional eyeballs, it's night time to practice a night time setting for future pieces/comm's, which is common enuff that this practice will inevitably be amazing help.  

as for the details of the pic, i always felt like his night time pics were "washed out" or "muted", examples being Auri+Shay kissing, bear and bwunny in the last panel, and PP1 Femboy Loona's missionary to a certain extent. so, i developed an idea of letting the bright parts of the pic be the most colorful, BUT keeping the dark parts colorful and just make the shadows deeper. so basically, more contrast while keeping saturation. only part done tho is the face, the rest is just sort of drafted-out for full rendering. and for framing, the whole body was drawn to practice the whole body, which a lot of my pieces are full body. the pose is just cuz it's rly cute :p. if the BG is finalized for uploading, this would be Claire posing under a street lamp in the late hours in her demon succubus outfit (straps around the thighs and shoulders, a cuff with a bow, toeless high heel boots, and of course her signature hair bow). hopefully it looks much different than past pics!!  

and the sexy sketches!! so on the middle is a sketch of Claire without her long hair braids to show how long, flowing, and beautiful her hair is when it's being blown by wind. this is her in the overworld in her apartment, so she's just relaxing in a casual outfit of booty shorts and a midriff turtleneck. she opened up her window cuz she loves the feeling of wind. since she needs to hide herself being a succubus in the overworld, it's very rare for her to fly around and feel the wind on her fur. idk if you knew this, but the ventilation is pretty shitty in hell. no wonder rent is so high down there. also, she's rasing her tail cuz she loves to give a good view  

and very lastly on the right, is just an outfit conceptualization of a skimpy ronin/samurai outfit. it was inspired from a Skyrim mod mostly, but of course made to be waaay more skimpy and sexy. (image copied below of ref) the character is a no-named big titty wolf girl. for her outfit, she's wearing a cloth one piece, which gets VERY tight around her legs to let a camel toe show, the latex Juni deer and Celia always wear as strippers, an ornament around her navel, a shoulder armor plate, knee guards, high heeled sandals (just as nonfunctional as you think), and most importantly a kasa hat!!! i think it's called a kasa hat. idk. anyways yea, enjoy her armor that she never uses cuz everyones so busy staring at her to attack her!!
