Progress May 13 + Question for Patrons
🕑 Added 2024-05-13 09:43:11 +0000 UTCIf you couldn't already tell, this and my last post are supposed to part of a merge sequence, which is normally my raison d'être. But to make those, it's always easier to draw the beginning and the end first and then breakdown the in-betweens from there. However this time around, I didn't want to keep you waiting on seeing the art I'm doing :D
:o but also because I'm not sure what type of merging would look best to draw. And I know it's a subtle thing, but I feel that when visually combining characters together there are different modes or textures that you get to experiment when going through the transformation.
How do they smoosh together, how do they melt together? Do they combine like butter? Chocolate? Milk or Cheese? Is it rubber? Or is it wax? Is it Nickelodeon Gak, or is it Nickelodeon Floam?
Is it a slow and meaty? Or is it quick? Is it a bit of a struggle? Is some elbow-grease required? Or is it smooth and effortless. Should the sequence make you feel like a bottom or make you feel like a top? Even if those things don't fully make their way into the end product, thinking about them nonetheless can really shape the outlook of a picture.
Which is why I'm opening the floor you
Given that you've now seen Part 1 and Part 3, what do you think the merger during part 2, should look like?
Some supplemental info:
This is the "Fusion Beast Brighambell". Formed from the merger of one "Brigham the Brute" and "Bell the Bard"
They are characters in a fictional fantasy world, based off of an retro 8-bit RPG like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy.

One detail I’d love would be seeing them each appreciating the parts they’re gaining from the other during that middle phase So Bell admires their bulging muscles while Brigham exults in the doughy heft of their growing belly (so by necessity their faces would have to be a LITTLE separate for the 2nd phase) I’m thinking a doughy sort of texture, like it’s soft to press into but as you push in it sticks to you, and starts to form around you too and make you sink in even deeper. But the dough firms into a thick and meaty base as they combine, the heft of a real monster. In the less-fused spots of their bodies, it’s soft and pliable and easily forming over itself. In the spots where they’re fully combined, it’s very firm and thick. It’s not difficult for them to combine, like that dough analogy they can just sink right into each other, it’s SEPARATING that would be difficult. It represents how good they feel coming together, and how they would be reluctant to separate. That said, it’s not quick and done either, it takes time to go from the soft pliable phase to the firm and well-formed phase. All that mass has to shift and move around to suit their monster form, and they’re not in much of a rush anyway, it feels just as good to be in the middle phase as it does to experience the end result.

Honestly? I'd pay money for a comic about Brghambell. My favorite character of yours <3
