The first 2 monthly pieces!! Ahh as you can see I got... really carried away and it's not quite a sketch anymore;;!! So it ended up taking a lot longer!
I want to talk a bit about each piece, it's gonna be true for all of them that it was really hard to choose because they all sounded so fun!! You guys chose such fun characters to draw and great prompts to go with them as well. It really wasn't an easy choice!
Cass!! I really wanted to do all 3! The Idea for Link was the first I tried sketching, but I large insertions anywhere are so difficult to draw!! x'D I always struggle with them so much! especially if it involves the face?? I guess it didn't have to be a monster schlong lol, but then I started also playing with the other two ideas! For the Howl idea I feel it was a bit tricky, I really think context adds SO MUCH to anything watersports related! And there were just so many ideas floating in my head! The idea I was thinking of sketching had a bit of femdom with Madame Suliman, I thought of having howl in that servant outfit and have him standing up embarrassed and struggling to keep his composure.
But at the end I had to go with Revali! I have not seen much about Breath of the Wild, so I had to do a bit of research, I love his personality and immediately thought "yes I wanna see him immbilized!"
I couldn't think of anything more creative to immobilize him though! Maybe there would've been some very good ideas from the game itself! But I went with Shibari since it looks pretty and it works in any situation! haha.
Ah Revali was a delight to draw, I cheated with the arms though, I have NO IDEA how I should draw them, should the arms/wings be meaty, like big forearms and hands with feathers, Or should they be thinner, like actual wings?? so I kinda hid them a bit;; The other thing I struggled with A LOT, was... changing the blue color! Originally I made him more bright blue, but it felt wrong, and when I saw the refs... he was a washed out navy blue. And I still don't know why but it took me so much fiddling with Clip Studio Paint to finally arrive at a better blue. I still don't know I had so much trouble trying to adjust that color haha.
[I'll add the bright blue version as well in the October compilation!]
I said it was difficult to choose one, but this might be the exception!
I've wanted to draw Y'shtola since she was suggested very early on, she's beautiful and I had a clear idea of how to draw her...! And even if I'm not familiar with Yoruichi, she's so beautiful, and the way you described her as well as the prompt, <3 it worked so nicely!
But I had to go with Ifris! I rarely get to draw Sylvari outside my own OCs. And since I'm more familiar with her and have had a lot of fun drawing her before, I really wanted to try again, this time with a bit of color to play with her glow! Also, even if large insertions are kinda difficult to draw... those from behind are a bit easier so I was up to the challenge!
I'm sorry I had to drop the cumflation part! It's so lame I've missed out on drawing that awesome lavacum! But I really wanted to keep the shape of Sigmus inside her!
The pose and POV was kinda difficult, I wanted to show her form the front, and orignally wanted to have Sigmus grabbing her, but it was taking me too long to get those hands right..! And I messed up by drawing things on a weird angle [I had to rotate the pic, make her sit more stright so there would be a bit less empty space]. Also aligning everything was a bit tricky, I could keep making little adjustements forever! But I'm happy with the result, this was really good practice and I learned a lot!!!
Ifris has 3 versions, one with motion blur, one withouth, and another where I moved her a bit so that things would be better aligned?
I'm missing 2 more drawings still! those will come a bit later, hopefully within this week!
The October compilation (Tier 2) will come a bit later as well, the sketches from October are so weird I'm having trouble not feeling embarrassed to add them! I want to work on them a little bit more so I'm more ok with sharing them all, or at least most of them.
You might've noticed I cancelled this month's pledges, I'll talk a bit more about that in an update post!
