As I am
🕑 Added 2024-05-12 16:15:20 +0000 UTCThis was actually the last thing I did, but its the one I wanted to post today. I hadnt done this kind of view/pose in a long time so I wanted to give it a try. I dont think it qualifies as a back pic but its a nice mix of everything really and one of those poses thats very appealing in general no matter what youre into.
At first when I was planning what to do, I had her completely nude, but as I started thinking about what clothes I could give her to make it more interesting, I remembered those arm/leg warmers I used to do a lot a few years ago that I really like, so I gave it a try and sure enough it was exactly what I was looking for. Im not sure what it is about it but I find them really cute and sexy, plus they add a nice amount of contrast against her pale skin, as always.
And then I also wanted to give her some kind of underwear just so she wouldnt be so exposed given the angle and it wouldnt be so explicit, while still getting a small peek at things much like in "Idyllic". I kept going back and forth between how transparent I wanted to make the lace, lol but I thought this was just the right amount.
I also feel like after a few tries Ive finally nailed this kind of angle when it comes to doing the head/face, with the key being the chin/jawline really to add just the right amount of depth to it. The thing is its one of those things thats better done only through shading because if you use lines it becomes too sharp and Im not a fan of that since its usually a masculine trait, so its a matter of striking the right balance. Giving it a good amount of definition while keeping it feminine.
Another detail I really like about this one is the freckles, Im still figuring out the right balance when it comes to her so I keep going between less and more, but I think this pic is just right. They really help with adding detail to the skin and making the whole thing look more natural, alongside the veins and such.
And lastly as far as the overall style goes I wanted to do something similar to "Elegy" because I like that one so much. Everything from the setting, mood, colors, texture, so youll definitely notice the similarities if you look at both side by side.
Maybe its because I come from a traditional art background but Ive never been a fan of overly digital looking stuff, you know like that look when things are way too smooth and look like plastic/clay or whatever (also why Im not a fan of a lot of disney stuff for example). It always felt very "cheap/fake" to me and I think textures are probably the biggest factor there, so thats what Ive been focusing on with the last few pics.
I have another fully body back view I really wanna do of her with similar clothes but Ive been slacking this week so I havent gotten to it yet, plus I gotta get a few more commissions done anyway but yeah Ill definitely try to do it in the near future. Then again, I still have a million things I wanna do with her despite drawing her so much already, lol. When you account for different poses, angles, clothes, settings, etc, the number of possibilities is basically endless.

very alluring, I love it. The tail, for me as well, is the cherry on top. Seems to invite you in.

A bunnysuit?! Now thats a fantastic idea, a proper "playboy bunny" type piece, so much you could do with that. The best part of having a oc you like drawing is the dress up part lol
Soranamae
Yep, its all intentional lol I was undecided if I wanted it to curve all the way around her or not but I liked this more, where it goes in front of her a bit. Yeah I dont know why I forgot about the warmers, I used to do them a lot a few years ago... Still got a bunch of other things I wanna dress her up in though like a bunnysuit or a babydoll, its crazy I havent done either yet with how many times Ive drawn her already.

I hope she isnt as ticklish as me then or that would be a serious weak spot
Soranamae
Good, because I have no intention of stopping lol

Was not expecting a pose like this but it looks great! I really like how you've placed the tail here, the curve of it kinda frames her butt lol, just the curve of the tail complementing the curve of her butt just looks good. As for the clothing, the transparency is spot on, anymore and it would become much more revealing and lose the charm it has. Also I'm a fan of those leg/arm warmers they're super cute. Great stuff Sora can't wait to see the next one :D

This is a trap, those feet are begging to be tickled.

Thats funny since its not my specialty at all, I just like the female body as a whole so I focus on different things here and there depending on my mood, and this one happened to have feet as one of the focuses due to the pose. All modesty aside I have noticed its one of the things I do best. I browse through other art all the time and lets just say its very rare to find artists that do attractive/pretty hands and feet lol (at least ones I find attractive, since nails are a very important part to me and almost no one does them well). Also in a non fetishized way, which is important to me. I want it to be a normal part of the pic like everything else, with the face always remaining the main focus and the first thing I want people to look at.
