Illustration #124 + rewards and sketches!
Added 2024-12-04 02:41:14 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I painted some more water nymphs over the past few weeks, it's been fun. And it's a pose I've enjoyed painting too. ๐ These group scenes always end up being kind of a jigsaw puzzle to put together, but I think it came together pretty well. Out of my recent pieces this one's probably the one I've been happiest with. I hope you like it too!
I noticed there's no longer a 200 MB file size limit on attachments here, so I can finally add all the rewards in the attachments! But here are the usual download links for the rewards too. I hope you'll enjoy checking out the process:

You'll notice the sketches look different from how I've typically done them. Often when I sit down to draw sketches I start focusing almost right away on how to do a good composition rather than focusing on just drawing something that looks hot. So, instead of doing thumbnail sketches of full compositions, I drew a whole bunch of small detail shots of things I thought could be hot. Then, after I'd done a bunch of those, I looked for ones I could build an idea around, which led to the painting I did. I feel like that approach to sketching gave results that did a good job of inspiring me, so I might continue that experiment for a while longer!
I also spend a little bit of extra time this time around trying to push for sharper detailing on the final result as opposed to keeping things more painterly, and right now I feel like I prefer this result better. That extra bit of time is probably time well spent.
Thanks for supporting me through November, I look forward to painting some more stuff for you this month! I hope you'll all have an excellent December. ๐

2024-12-08 20:14:28 +0000 UTCI'm very glad that you enjoy reading my comments! You definitely don't need to match my word-count with your replies ๐น It's enough for me to know that you like my comments and how I try to highlight all of the terrific details that you've put in. That is pretty much why I'm so verbose, I know it takes a great attention to detail and effort to jam-pack these paintings so full of detail and intricacy, so I want you to see that your efforts are very much noticed and appreciated! ๐ธ

2024-12-04 19:00:06 +0000 UTCThank you, Ciarรกn! You're too generous with all your compliments, as always! I'm very glad to hear you're enjoying the sketches and the painting enough to write all this about them. ๐ I'm usually not a man of many words, so I always feel like my replies to your comments are inadequate in comparison lmao. But every time you comment it's fun to see you've noticed all the things I've put effort into. :)

2024-12-04 15:12:04 +0000 UTCMy word, there is a lot here! Both in terms of the sketches and the main painting itself. The sketch idea is very interesting, coming up with sexy poses first and then building the idea around them. And the main painting is a great showing that this idea does work ๐ป I'm going to show uncharacteristic restraint and instead just mention my absolute favourite poses from across the four sketches, since there is a lot here ๐น In Sketches 1, I really like the pink-haired girl sitting on the butt-plug. I like how her hair drapes over her back, as well as the teasing of her breasts as they sink behind her thighs. I do also find it hot how her thighs are open, implying her front is fully visible but hidden to us since she's turned around. And... well, I like seeing the full, rounded shapes of her butt-cheeks spread apart by her... accessory ๐น๐ป In Sketches 2, I naturally enjoy the white-haired, purple demon lady. Her pose is very sensual with her arched back, butt high and breasts sinking low. The teasing since we don't actually see anything explicit of her body is great too and I like her expression which makes her scene even sexier. And from Sketches 3, I really like the top right sketch. The pose for the woman is super hot and sensual with how her body twists and her legs flow and bend. I love the rounded shapes of her butt and the way her cheeks wrap around the toy and her breasts look great spilling across her chest. I also like the intimacy of this one, with the way she looks at her male friend here as he... helps her out ๐ป With that same thing in mind, I also like the pink-haired girl who is wrapped around her male friend. The intimacy as they embrace is just... really nice ๐ฅฐ And now the main painting... goodness gracious... I am simply going to have to force myself to skim through things because hoo boy, I'd be here all day otherwise ๐น So, I like the colours of this scene a lot, the farthest background being made up of cooler tones, with the trees fading into more desaturated, blue colours, contrasting with the foreground which is being bathed in warmer sunlight. That contrast is so good and really makes the scene look so vibrant. The human woman in particular really stands out being so drenched in warm lighting and surrounded by cooler blue people. As always, the background is absolutely packed with depth and detail, from the twisting textures of the tree trunks, with their own blending of warm and cool tones, to the rippling, crumpled cloth of the sheet that lays under the characters and to the insane volume of grass, fallen leaves and other foliage. Seriously, it is always so mind-blowing looking through your backgrounds and seeing just how much detail you've packed into everything! Now... the characters... where do I even begin, there's six of them! ๐น Well, starting with something that applies to all of the nymphs. I just love how vibrant you've made them all, with different greens and pink-purple tones blended into them. The lady on the bottom left really shows this off, with pale greens in her shadows and warm magenta's on her lighter tones. The guy at the human's mouth looks great with greens hitting his sides and this purple hue across his front planes. The other guy too has so much going on with pink edge-lights on his butt, pink tones blended into his thighs, knees, hands, face and hair, as well as his own greens. The furthest water nymph in the background too has this lovely, soft green glow in her breasts. And the lady on our right, hovering above the scene looks absolutely wonderful with the purples mixed into her face, blues tinting her hair and greens blended into her thigh. I may as well carry on with the nymphs since I am talking about them ๐น I am in love with the lady on the bottom left, with just how vibrant her hair is and the style of its rendering has so much depth. I also adore the painterly brush strokes that define her, particularly on her neck, shoulder and breast (speaking of which, that nipple, hooo boy... ๐ป). The furthest lady also has gorgeous breasts that look so... juicy with their shine and the way they're pressed together. And I really like the muscle definition on the right lady's arm, as well as the overlapping shapes of her butt cheeks and all of the depth and detail in her hair. And the guys are insanely well done. On the lower guy, I really like his left leg, with the striking contrast in pink-infused lighting from above, dark shadows from below, with green edge-lighting. And the other guy just looks amazing with all of his muscle definition and the way his anatomy locks into itself. Like the trap locking into the shoulders and the shoulders wedging into the upper arms. Funnily, he ends up being what I look at most in this painting because he comprises a lot of techniques of yours that I enjoy. The strong contrast in light and dark, the way different colours are blended and the incredible definition and depth that you give to muscles. (My heart does absolutely belong to the lady in the lower left though ๐ฅฐ) And then we have our human and she is just so striking! The warm colours of her skin look breathtaking, particularly with the shine spots across her body and the mixes of greens and pinks within her shadows, just adding even more depth to her. I also really like how her breasts are shaped as they lay flat across her chest. The lighting is really nice too, with the warm sunlight drenching her belly and open thighs, framed by the shadows across her chest, arm and legs. I also really like the detail where the guy has his hands on her body, his fingers pushing and compressing the skin, with the shine-line following the way the skin waves between the fingers. The textures of her skin are amazing too and as with the muscular guy, the way her forms and body connects and locks into itself is so well done too. All of those complex shapes and plane changes from her thighs, to her butt, to everything in between is crazy! I'm going to stop there and given just how much is in this painting and the sketches, it's a miracle that I managed to keep the comment even this short! ๐น But seriously, amazing work on this one. It is always impressive how you never seem to lose the quality in your work despite how much quantity is in this painting. 6 characters all in dynamic and complex poses, with foreshortening too and surrounded by a lush, densely-packed jungle, that is just nuts! In the best possible way, of course ๐ธ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
