[Extra] Indulgence
🕑 Added 2021-07-16 19:12:59 +0000 UTCHello there, fellow futa lovers!
Oh my… Indulgence. What can I say about this month’s extra painting? Well, indulgence changed everything, really. I was playing Farming Simulator, frugally harvesting some crops, when I received Kyropracter’s email. He had two characters that he wanted to introduce, Sheree, our posh futanari businesswoman, and Livia, her lively, fun-loving friend. This is their debut, but this painting wasn’t primarily focused on figure drawing, their clothes, or faces, as it usually is the case in erotica art, I mean, it was also about that, of course, but here the hotel room itself is a character in its own right. For the first time the task at hand was to tell a story through the room, through its objects, angles, and atmosphere, because Sheree and Livia are everywhere here, from the city that welcomed them, the food they chose to eat, and the spirits they’ve allowed themselves to drink to the jewelry they could afford, the gifts, the opulence of it all… But (and this is an important but) it’s also much more than that. It’s about all the pleasure they can give one another, and the bliss, and the gratitude that comes with it, no matter how fleeting everything is. By the end of it, I was happy. It’s a celebration. To me, at least, it is. Let’s celebrate! =^_____^=
Whew… This was, and still is, one of the toughest challenges I’ve had as an artist, for trying to bring together so many elements, managing to balance so many lights and colors (as well as the interactions between them), everything tied together within a three-point perspective grid, not to mention the patterns, the textures, the materials… At some point I felt like I was somewhere in between 2D and 3D art, but an instant later it seemed to require all my traditional painting experience with still-life. In fact, after Indulgence I learned some modelling skills on Blender (which became such a useful designing tool in my workflow later on), and I also got some good books/articles/videos on still-life painting with oils, mostly to work on my understanding of values and brushwork. I always learn something entirely new after I finish a painting, but boy, oh boy, this one gave me a collection of invaluable lessons. Thanks, Kyro! =^____^=
Also, thank you all so much for your love and support!
Cheers!
Q.
p.s.: this is an extra painting, an early access submission. I’ll post it at Hentai-Foundry, Twitter, etc. in a couple of days. Since this was a commission painting, I won't post its RIF file.

Everything was different with this one. Even the workflow changed dramatically. I usually work layer by layer, for instance, but here I focused on each object separately, painting it until it was nearly finished, and that would help me move on and put the next one in context. There was a unique challenge in every corner, and finding creative solutions to each one of those challenges was a joy. =^____^= Thank you so much for the art direction, K!

This turned out more beautifully than I could have hoped for! And it's crazy all the new adventures these two continue to go on. This painting is dedicated to anyone who has put their hardest effort into a job, but weren't properly rewarded. Ironically, I put little effort into coming up with the design and Quaraci performed all the work. In the end, we all benefited and Q gained a new level!!

Thanks, Someguy987! =^_____^= We'll be seeing more of them, Sheree and Livia, in the future. We'll get to know a bit more of their personalities and their adventures together. As for pushing the limits, I once told myself, after a couple of months here at Patreon, that the Horse Tier would be special in the sense that I'd always have a "yes, and..." attitude. I couldn't have made better promise to myself. Today I see that it's both a commission slot and an opportunity to learn/test new skills, try new techniques, new workflows, different painting apps, even new ways of creating sketches, and explore. =^____^=

Well they are beautiful. Thank you for providing us with such cute models. I'm glad to hear that it pushed you to your limits, and you broke them wonderfully.
