I promised that I’ve been working on the commission, and here’s the progress so far. Obviously, this is only what I can fit on the scanner today. The hardest part has been the eyes, which have this very dominant look. I honestly don’t think I’m quite there, but looking much better than where this was headed.
Part of it is the eyes themselves. I draw an eye style I call the curly cue or curly style. It comes from Reji Matsumoto’s work, where main characters have this intense look. You’ll sometimes see it in my self portraits and on that of some of my Dommes.
This piece has a great example of the eyes I’m referring to.
In this case, the look doesn’t work, making her look enraged or terrified. Neither of which is what we’re going for. The photos have a very specific look of despite the bondage, being in control or knowing exactly what she’s doing. I’ve gone for something still in the anime range, but closer to what I’m seeing.
That said, I’m heading back to the drawing table. That is, if I can dodge this character here:
Ever wonder why these drawings take so long? Meet our cat Pixel. She’s lovely, but many times when I’m on computer or drawing, she just has to get in on the act.
It’s not easy drawing with a cat in your lap.
She has a habit of attacking my hands while on computer, or going for my pencil while drawing at the table. I do schedule time to play with here, but it can be very hard to tucker her out.
