🕑 Added 2024-04-14 15:43:00 +0000 UTCThis one started with me just wanting to do that pose of lying back with breasts sagging to the side, since its one of my favorites and I dont do it nearly enough, and then as I started to work on it more I added in the arms up and crossed legs which all came together into a really sexy combo.
To get the obvious out of the way, Ive been curious what she would look like with glasses for a while. Ive tried it a few times in previous pics but it never really worked, it just always felt out of place. I think its one of those things that requires a specific look and this one just happened to be it. After I added them, I couldnt go back. I kept them in a separate layer the whole time just in case I changed my mind but every time I tried taking them off, it looked so weird, lol. Its amazing how our brain works, in that once you get used to something, any change feels "wrong".
Of course this doesnt mean Ill be adding glasses to all of her pics now, its just an extra "option" for whenever I feel its appropriate, like if I draw her reading or in a secretary outfit or whatever. Either way let me know what you think, yay or nay? Which one do you prefer, glasses or no glasses?
Moving on, the hardest part was figuring out what I wanted her to be wearing. The idea was to go with a babydoll (I somehow still havent drawn her in one) but it wasnt working because I wanted her breasts to be out without anything holding them up, so I basically just took that part out. In the end its like an underbust dress I guess? Just without the piece of clothing youd usually have undernearth, covering the breasts.
Another thing is throughout the whole coloring process the dress was all black but almost at the end I started messing with it and realized this mix of black and white looked way better due to the extra contrast and how it matches the scene/background overall.
Then the stockings seal the deal with the sexy look. I think Ive gotten pretty good at drawing them and getting the texture just right. Keeping them soft and with a nice amount of transparency, but also detailed. I really enjoy drawing them actually, even though I usually prefer bare legs, its very satisfying both to draw and look at. And youll be seeing more in the near future.
Im also trying to get more practice at this kind of angle when it comes to the face, like more from below (similar to "Descent" last year). Its pretty challenging but its so good when you want to give the character an empowering, confident look, especially if she is looking down at the viewer. Just need to do it more often to get better at it.
Lastly, I realize her tail is super long on this one but I couldnt figure out any other way to make it work composition wise, since I definitely wanted it to be framing the bottom corners of the pic and coming out the other side. This is why the tail is one of those things where I like to have a lot of creative liberty and the length changes from pic to pic, lol. To me what matters the most is the overall look so I dont mind sacrificing things like that, plus its just part of the experimentation that comes with drawing a character many times. I just wanna keep trying things, seeing what works and what doesnt.
Think thats all I have to say about this one. Also the Dawntrail benchmark dropped today. Have you tried it? What do you think of the changes? Are you happy with your character?

I only seem to come around when you draw her. But what can I say that hasn't been said yet... She's gorgeous. I honestly love the side sag as well. I would say it's one of my favorites as well. Her with glasses is a big plus that should happen when she wants to look more mature in some cases. No big impact or take away on her general beauty. I'm trying not to sound like a critic. Just to admire her even more. But yeah... She's still very glamorous and sexy. What more can I say...

lovely work Sora :3

Oh Wow, thats super seductive. Fantastic

Just really like the colors and shading here, good pose and the darker tones give it a sultry feel

Experimentation is, almost, always good as long as you keep to your foundations. Those being, your trademark style, quality and sensual feeling. This one does that really well. :] Funny enough, when I saw this one, in the first split second, the first thing that came to my mind was "Quistis". No doubt, I could imagine her as an instructor, helping sprouts out in how to survive in dungeons, provided she has enough patience for that lol Anyway, those were the vibes that instantly came to my mind but I think I'm onto something here :] I love the pose and facial expression (once again, the trademarks). I also feel really drawn to her hips which I didn't expect. Her tail is a bit on the thicker side, as for the length, I personally don't mind and rather have it this way than being too short. Here's a funny thing about "milfy" looks. I can say that it's not something I am that much into in general but this is one of those cases when I just like the character and how they are presented and it just "works" for me without any regard for any genres. That's another thing with your art anyway, enjoying the things I didn't know I would if anyone were to ask me lol As for the matter of glasses themselves, they look great of course. I'm pretty sure that you can add them whenever it fits the theme and people will enjoy it. In the end, it's the character that counts here ;] I've tried the benchmark and, despite my worries, I had mostly a happy ending for this case lol Some characters I had saved changed their "vibes" and I am unsure about what to think, but maybe I just need to give it a few days to get used to it. The important part is that my character herself looks nice and seems to mostly retain her vibe so that what's more important. I'll keep that fantasia close but I'd like to think that I won't end up having to use it. :] Whatever was changed, doesn't come even close to what we are getting here anyway lol Thank you for this gorgeous art and, as always, looking forward for more. ;]

Im glad to hear that, as I told you before in messages I think the warm brown skin looks better with the honey yellow of both her eyes and clothes

I think in this pic they work so well because she kinda gives off "milf" vibes, lol and glasses go so well with older women and that mature charm (I think in Elegy they would also have worked actually) Stunlocked? Sorry, was spamming Holy lol

Honestly maybe its my eyes or because I don't run the settings on max. But I really didn't notice a change. The only thing I noticed really is that I like the warmer skin tone in your picture then the one she has in game as the lighting gives her colder vibes in the creator. Honestly I think I might add a bit more cream to her coffee so she looks warmer in colour like you have her.

Yeah I was actually wondering if it was a bit much when I was sketching it because Im very conscious of not oversexualizing things especially when it comes to poses, but I think she pulls it off while still being elegant, it doesnt really feel vulgar or trashy which is the important part I will definitely bring them back at some point whenever I feel like they would improve the look

Oh wow, she is, again, so incredibly gorgeous! And what a sexy pose we get spoiled with today... 😁 Regarding the glasses, she is rocking both, with or without them, styles. For me it is a hard *yes* on the "yay or nay". Also her tail might seem long but i feel it fits the frame perfectly. I think this too just fits her a lot
Geecey
Ohhh boy those glasses! those get you hot under the collar lol. I love your aura in glasses this is something I really want to see more they suit her very well. Also really like her hair, the way you have her holding parts of it up to make strands fall and makes it a little messy looks super nice. But ya really like this piece and those glasses are a fantatsic addition, she's got me stunlocked lol
Soranamae
Many people are not happy with the changes but what I will say is, the lighting in the character creation sucks... so make sure to take the character for a spin in the actual benchmark before judging it, youll be surprised how much better she looks there
Mahna
I didn't know the benchmark dropped time to see if I can run it and what the up rez did to my girl.
