Master Strokes, Variations, and More

Let's start things off with a bang. (Heh, see what I did there? If not, you will in a moment...) This is a commission from fellow Deviant Maltorramus featuring his Original Character, MMA Fighter and crime-fighter Misa, along with my gal Duster in a... rather compromising situation.

I usually wait to post a blog entry when I have an image like this that won't pass muster (or the acceptable content guidelines) at Deviant Art. Sometimes they're commissions, sometimes they're just racy stuff that bubbles up from my fetid imagination. This is a bit of both. Maltorramus specified the overall situation and I filled in the details, including the dialogue.

I'm pretty flexible with what my commissioners want. Sometimes they want to give me a complete script, especially for a series. I'm okay with that; makes my job easier. Sometimes they just ask for a very general scenario and leave it up to me to fill in all the blanks. That's cool too, it leaves me with some creative elbow room. 

Now we will get to the usual fashion show, but first here are a few variations from other D.A. posts I've created recently.

Recently I posted an image leveraging Stonemason's wonderful Venezia Suite environment. I also posted a second image of Candy in the same environment but on her own, kneeling on the bed. I actually rendered and postworked two different versions of that image. The differences are subtle (hint: mostly in her facial expression), but they're there. The second one is what I chose to post at D.A.




















Here's a test image of Candy wearing the full outfit that includes the baby doll teddy I used in these Venezia Suite images. The content creator named the outfit "Touch of Death". Go figure. I thought it worked better as lingerie than as totally impractical vampire-slaying garb or whatever its creator had in mind.

Next, a couple more artsy-fartsy images of Candy. These ones I used for a recent commissioned image set in an art gallery. I decided that Candy herself is a work of art and deserved to be displayed there. I created two versions of this image. I used the coloured one in the commissioned image, but I like the black and white one too.





















Of course besides Candy and her friends I also collect additional digital figures so I can create other characters. Here's a new one. Her name is Sheryl. Isn't she lovely? Looks like a heroine about to get into peril to me. 😉

All right, fashion time. I started doing this just as a way to make use of the many test images I create whenever I acquire new digital outfits. But in the past I've also received feedback based on some of these costumes that have led me to use them in full HQ renders. So by all means if you really like one of these outfits and would like to see me do more with it, let me know.


First off, here are a couple of costumes that I think would suit a villainess. I'll have to see about creating some more bad girl characters to make use of these outfits.





















Here's a fancy "poolside" outfit which has not only different material ("texture") choices, but also the option to remove the underlying bikini. Ooh-la-la.





















And finally some other outfits. I think the first one makes Candy look like the star of some Fellini movie.





















...and that's it for now! See ya in the funny papers!
