Bet On Red, Linda - Totally Stuffed
Linda, always in need of money and fancying herself a bit of an escape artist, accepts a bet from Grace, who has more money than she needs and loves tying people up.
Grace is also a huge cheater. And Linda... just doesn't (by choice?) learn.
Linda and Grace are the characters of vonmayes736. And because I showed him the pic before it was finished, he did a story inspired by it!
So if you want more backstory, and what happens after the pic; here you go! (Spoilers; it doesn't go too great for Linda)

This pic started as just a little doodle I did last month. But I liked the overhead angle, and the tightness of it so much I kept working on it. And then I decided it needed some set-up panels too.. and eventually it led to this!
I think it was the butt grab that did it. I like butt grabs :D
After the initial sketch, I decided the pic needed to be a bit more interesting. So I tried a little bit of like fisheye-lens feel to the perspective of the pic, so everything got a bit of a roundness to it. It's a clear example of "perspective doesn't have to be correct, it just has to look believable", I think. I mean I think it looks pretty believable, at least! :D
For the dialgoue panels, I did a little mock-up reference in HoneySelect. I've used this program (it's basically a hentai game, but you can make and pose characters freely) for reference before, but never for just a scene like this.
Since I obviously wanted to keep my own style, even while drawing from references, I blurred the reference pics, and used them pretty loosely.
I always feel a bit guilty when I use reference like this, probably because I've gotten it drummed into me how references (and tracing even more) is cheating. But I kind of feel that if it works, then go for it. The more times you stress and struggle trying to get a pose right, the less you bother about what is, and isn't "cheating". :)
The biggest struggle was definitely writing for me though. I wrote what I thought was a pretty good little story into the pic, and was OK happy with it. And then I looked at it again, and I realized the text just took up WAY too much space in the pic. So I went back and trimmed a bunch. I left the "originaL" version in for you. Just so you can agree I made the right decision ;)
