Pride Variation example (Panty Tease skill)
🕑 Added 2016-06-24 08:21:59 +0000 UTC Hello everyone,Just wanted to pop in and show you guys an example of what I've been working on. I'm adding pride variations for the skills in chapter 1. Each skill will have three variations, High Pride, Medium Pride, and Low Pride (yes, I'm keeping that last one a secret). Most of the time, it will just be facial differences and dialogue in game, but there will be a few other little changes. It is more work, but I really like the dynamic aspect it will bring.
Also, in putting these side-by-side, I'm starting to think my standard portrait eyes are too big. I figured Aylia would be slightly squinting in the High Pride pic, as she's very embarrassed, but now I'm thinking I over did it. Well, I'll mess with it later. For now, it works to give you an example of what to expect.
Well, that's what I got. Let me know what you think!

Yes left is b etter
TheAlex
Left version is much better
Markus S.
I like big eyes btw. :D
maybe thats because of the blushing?

Everything is vector and in symbols, so I can just resize the eyes if I want. No portrait rework. I still like the shape, color, etc. I'm just thinking they might be slightly too big. If I did resize, it would be a pretty minor adjustment.
YummyTiger Gaming
They'll be blush lines on the left as well. I was evaluating them, and I like them as well.
Big To
I don't know why but I prefer the right face. I like how she's frowning with her mouth open like D: makes her cuter to me. Also I may be partial to the blush lines lol

oops meant to say right at the end there.

Definitely prefer portrait with smaller eyes. It may seem weird, but I find that one more expressive, and it turn more appealing, than the one on the left.

But the one on the left seems more innocent than enraged.
Nine Horse Hitch
left face.
I don't want to be the one to trigger another portrait rework, but I must agree. I prefer the slightly smaller eyes on the left...she looks more beautiful there.
bsnick
I like the face on the left one better. I'm not all that fond of either from the waist down, probably because a straight on, stand up straight, pose isn't usually flattering to anyone
Cory Carson
God damn i love this
Auril
:o ...I'm impressed over the quality of this art. I -really- can't wait to see/play another chapter :)
Swagmaster Supreme
awesome, the eyes are fine dont worry about them. you did a great job :)
YummyTiger Gaming
Well, I got the "never be happy with their work" down pat. Although, after it sits awhile, generally, I'm proud of my work. I'm damn proud of where the prologue ultimately ended up, I just nitpick the crap out of anything new and tend to waste too much time tinkering with details that you can't even see in 640x480 resolutions... I'm getting better though. Got to remember, 2-3 month turn around, 2-3 month turn around, if I want this sucker to work.
YummyTiger Gaming
Well, remember, her pride is down a bit in the second one. She's probably not quite as angry and instead is a bit emotionally uncertain.
YummyTiger Gaming
Thanks, I agree. I actually think in general my artwork has slowly moved away from "cartoony" a bit. Not totally, as that I what I like, but I've seen it in the expressions and body proportions in recent stuff.
YummyTiger Gaming
It is a "panty teast" after all :-). Don't worry, there is a "pussy flash" skill as well. That one is a bit down the line though.
Lee Thompson
That's great but the panties are still up...

Wow, really impressive work. The picture on the left comes off a little more emotive and less cartoony. It's subtle and very pretty, nice job.
I think you should leave the right one. The left one, although being very well drawn, just creates the impression that Alaya was shy and bashful from the very beginning. To my opinion you should add a little bit of calm anger to the eyes of the right picture. Yes, she is lifting the skirt, but she is looking right at you, as if scornfully asking "Are you satisfied, you dumbass pervert?"
YummyTiger Gaming
Ah, that makes more sense. I was wondering, as I've never really seen elves with emotion portrayed in their ears.
YummyTiger Gaming
Thanks! Oh, I forgot to post all the things I didn't do in the first sentence... dang it :-P
YummyTiger Gaming
Thanks!
YummyTiger Gaming
Noted. I'll keep that in mind. If I did change anything, it would not be redrawing it. But, I like the way she looks, so I'll probably just go with it as-is.
YummyTiger Gaming
Thanks! That's what I was going for.
YummyTiger Gaming
That works too, I'd imagine she'd be a combination of angry and embarrassed. With medium pride, more embarrassed, and with low pride, more of a tease.
YummyTiger Gaming
Just to note, this is not a new addition. I've been doing pride variations to standing portraits and skills since last Spring. It was one of the big changes with the character revamp and the Patreon poll that was done. It does take more time, but I'm trying to be as efficient as possible. Using vector artwork and symbols allows me to reuse quite a bit of stuff between pictures. Like this face and hair is also used in a breast flash picture. The hair in particular was needed, because I kind of cut corners last time in this particular profile angle, and it had bothered me for awhile.
YummyTiger Gaming
Yea, I think part of the issue is I have these side by side, in-game you'd never see them like this. The eyes might not be as problematic as I thought. Glad you like them.
YummyTiger Gaming
Do you have an example? Not sure I've ever seen emotion portrayed in the ears. You mean like drooping ears?
Even
i DON'T want you to change the eye size. and i prefer the right ---> one, as she looks more embarrassed and bothered, than the left
Blorken Shfeel
I like these a lot. I personally don't mind the eye size.
Darthjake
I like the way she has her head slightly turned on high pride, indicating she can't or won't meet your eyes. Nice touch!
Looks good, though personally i think she look more angry then embarrassed with high pride.
Hurr
It's a great system and I love the pics but admittedly it doesn't look like she's quinting completely, it's more like it's her twin sister with a slightly different kind of face. Minor things though so don't break your head over it too much. ;)
James
I like both their eyes. good work YT
MasterQi
I quite like this addition...still, I'd prefer to have the chapter, instead of another addition which takes time.
Denpa
elves dont more their ears ...only kemonomimi characters do >.>
Love the eyes like they are now. :D Keep up the good work, peace out! :)
Karmaldia
From a personal standpoint I am quite pleased with both of those. But then again, I am also biased towards Elf ears. That said I do hope your able to portray some emotion with her ears as well. Course I love the way Aylia looks regardless, so keep it up!

Eyes seem fine, it works well with shading style. A true designer should never be happy with their work. Get a public release, then ask for feedback :D GL
