Hibiscus Update And Character Expansion

Added 2021-04-25 04:02:48 +0000 UTC

Hello,

I wanted to start off by going into some detail on what inspired me recently to adjust Hibiscus's design yet again. I spoke with another NSFW artist who heavily inspired me after we had an in-depth conversation regarding NSFW art and our differences in approach to the whole thing. If you're curious, his FA is here:

I'd highly encourage you do look into his artwork if you haven't already.

Long story short he gave me some amazing advice regarding realism and the power of bringing realistic personality and emotion into pieces by utilizing body language to convey a message. He broke down the barriers that most NSFW artists seem to depend upon, mainly referring to the same old NSFW tropes that most artists create. He encouraged me to expand my horizons as a nsfw artist. As a result I've updated hibiscus's design and I'll be focusing on trying to portray more realistic scenarios that help build her character and personality. Each piece should share something new about her as a character, not just a new angle on her ass. With this design change I've also updated her facial structure to resemble a real hyena, without breaking away completely from fantasy.

With each new piece I create I'd like to give new lore by writing about the scene. The fetish element to my work will still remain, but with more character and artistic freedom than before.

Please let me know how you feel about her new design.
