MLP 89 - More Octavia & Vinyl (WIP)

Added 2019-11-19 17:34:36 +0000 UTC

This is a request I want to take a different spin on, like Vinyl was actually answering to that user. Octavia's expression was a bit based on a very short shot from the anime maken-ki. Here's the link if you are curious:

I didn't want to 100% replicate her expression. The only part I don't like is that Octavia looks kinda hypnotized, so I want to draw an exclamation point next to her, at least to indicate she didn't expect Vinyl to grab her breasts.

In the original ink file, her right areolae was a bit bigger than her left areolae, so I decided to make them equal. That way the final panel won't be as distracting as it was. This kind of little details, if not fixed, would ruin the overall comic and would make the main topic (like the weird animation and facial expressions from Mass Effect Andromeda when it came out).

The way I usually work on the nipples is that first I put a very simple hard brush. Then, I change a little bit the eraser tool to make it a bit more "scattered". That way, the areolae would have a natural look. If it's necessary, an additional step is using a bigger eraser to erase a little bit the edges.

This might be ready for tomorrow, with many details such as the shadows, some light effects, some occlusion layers, etc. Sorry that I didn't post this earlier, I was busy.

Last but not least, thanks for your support and I hope you like the final comic.

Love,
