(NSFW) Soft render practices
🕑 Added 2023-11-06 04:46:11 +0000 UTCI had an itch to do a bit of rendering again so I didn't end up horrendously rusty so of course I drew Lucian, what's new?
I've drawn older femme Lucian a few times now and talked y'all's ear off a bit too, but hope you're still excited for some more in the form of my scribbled notes I used to occupy the page. My personal reference sheets tend to look something like this with a bunch of misc. notes and silly comments written around drawings.
I think I've said it before, but you're free to use whatever pronouns for her. I personally default to he/him for convenience sake with where Lucian's at in the current story. There really are no wrong answers though. Even when she's in her ultra milf era, she comfortably identifies as a gay man. That may sound a strange to some, but the messiness of gender, sexuality, and identity cannot be understated. It was one of the most difficult things for Lucian to accept her sexuality back when she was younger. It was something that caused so much grief and anguish, yet also gave such liberation that even in a new body and life, it holds significance. Needless to say, identification as a gay man has a lot of important context personal to her and how she specifically perceives her relationship with some of the guys (not all). To be fair, the messiness of it all is why she's specifically identified as genderfluid. There's a lot of complexity and one gender just doesn't fit it all, so it's something that is always in flux, growing and changing with her.
Anyways that's my identity talk for the night! It's hard to hold back when you start, but we gotta leave some things to be explored more in-depth within the comic itself.

That's very kind of you to say! It's taken a long time too feel comfortable and confident enough to do so, but this story really made it much more possible! It's been an honor to see others feel seen in this story too :,)
Fit Lucian is still super fun to draw, but something about squishy Lu..soft....

I love how unabashedly queer your stories & characters are!! I adore the expansiveness and the messiness of it all, I think it’s such a strength of yours to be able to explore that and communicate it visually ❤️❤️❤️
I love how soft you have made him. I’m your earlier works he was more built but I love the squishy Lucian more 😍
