Too Hot for Deviant Art!

Turns out the "Deviant" in "Deviant Art" is false advertising, a blatant lie to sucker in adults who assume they participating in a site that's safe for adults. The D.A. showrunners are too cowardly to modernize their terms of service and the tight-assed no-fun puritan club is running rampant. Four of my images got tagged and I'm sure more are on the way. I'd leave D.A. in protest but I don't want to give them the satisfaction.

My buddy Nathanomir is defiantly leaving his tagged stuff up and I say good for him. I'm taking a different route. I could probably just leave everything as is and dare the mods to do their worst but instead I've acted not to appease the puritans but to rile up everyone else. I've removed one image just 'cause it's not one of my favourites and the others I'm self-censoring in a way that I hope will get more people pissed off about this. Because the only way things change is if enough people get upset. So I've covered up the parts of the image that I assume are so offensive with this graphic:

Nevertheless I think the uncensored images deserve to see the light of day so I'm re-posting them here in all their puritan-defying glory. Along with some other stuff.

It really ticks me off that a Raiders of the Lost Eye page got tagged. Because why? We can see Duster's vagina? Did you think she didn't have one? I guess women's bodies are pretty scary when you've never seen one.

I'll be honest, the Manchester Chronicles serial wasn't my favourite. No superheroines and I don't have a statuefication fetish. But I think as D.A. content goes this is pretty innocuous.

Oh no! Same-sex digital-vaginal contact! If not averted, it will bring about the APOCALYPSE!!!

Not sure if the problem here was the strap-on or Duster's pussy again or maybe someone had a bad time in Catholic school and this triggered them somehow.

Anyway, those were the tagged images. A couple of others I anticipate will get tagged and I'm posting here to keep them available somewhere.

Here's a two-parter featuring Anti-Leaf/Mindless Entertainment's Silver Spectre and a few villains:

I guess Gladiator's little gladiator technically constitutes a ToS violation. But really, D.A. features tons of images of women getting gored and mutilated but an erect penis is offensive? Wow. Just wow, guys.

This is a test image I created with a DavO bondage rig. I probably couldn't display this at D.A. anymore because Duster's legs are slightly spread. It was the inspiration for this more tame image.

Time to move on to some of my usual blog extras! First up, some new figures/characters. This lovely lady is named Alisha. I shall have to do more with her, I really like her look.

And this is Wachiwi. Looking at her makes me want to give a whole bunch of land back. Or something. Was that politically incorrect? Seems I'm on a roll in that regard.

Amazon Arrow recently started a "tactical heroine art jam" and I created a more practical (if less sexy) version of Duster for it. Here's the test image I did of her tactical costume:

Now, to finish off, Duster tries out the latest in digital fashion! Be sure to let me know in comments here or at D.A. if you really like any of these, that definitely influences if I wind up featuring it in a HQ image.

Return to Venice

Who wouldn't want to go back to Venice? Ya gotta see it before it sinks, after all...

A while ago I posted a couple of images of Candy/Duster in Stonemason's beautiful Venezia Suite digital set. One featured Candy alone (and in my previous blog post I shared a variation of that one), while the other one had Bill in the background. Of course that set is so gorgeous that I'm going to keep returning to it.

Which is what I have done here. Bill's a healthy, red-blooded young man, and a guy like that can only gaze upon Candy's voluptuous form in that revealing baby doll for so long before he just has to do something about it. Not that she minds; she possesses a high-level of vigour and similarly-coloured corpuscles, after all. I went through my pose collection, focusing on the section innocently titled "Interacting Figures" and found a really hot pose for V6/M6. I customized it a little (expressions, Candy clawing at one breast, shifting some of her hair into her face).

As you might know, Candy is a highly-customized version of Victoria 6 (so customized that Olympia 6 poses sometimes suit her better), while Bill started out as a Michael 6 figure. One thing I often have to do with Candy/Duster in these poses where she interacts with another figure (or with a prop) is change her scale from its customized 96% to her default 100%. The poses are designed with figures at their default size, so by returning her to that dimension I don't have to spend nearly as much time fine-tuning her pose.

Bill is also larger than the default Michael 6. To get him to the 6' 3" height I ascribe to him in my fiction I have to dial up his scale to 106.5% in Daz Studio. This means when I put him and Candy together there's a significant height difference, which I really like; I think it emphasizes her femininity and his masculinity. As you might expect sometimes I have to change his scale back to the default 100% so he works with poses like this. Amazingly, not this time. With Candy at 100%, they fit together perfectly. And yes I mean that in every sense of the word. I quite like how this turned out and may do more images of their vacation in Venice... during which they rarely got out of that hotel room.

Now for some recent tests and experiments.

I recently introduced a new nemesis for Duster: Colonel Chaos I call him. Ex-military gone bad. I don't think I'll give him superpowers. For background I'm thinking he's become a mercenary, a soldier-of-fortune currently employed by the Syndicate, thus setting him at odds with superheroines everywhere. I wanted to give him a very rough, menacing, battle-hardened look. This guy's seen some shit (with that one good eye), but more to the point, he did a lot of that shit. And slept like a baby afterwards. I think his concept syncs nicely with Mindless Entertainment/Anti-Leaf's villain, The General.

I also recently added SouthBlade's OC (and frequently luckless) heroine Solstice to my roster in a pinup and a peril image. I thought this might be a good place to share the test renders I created for the character.

 

Here's another test image I don't think I've shared before: my friend and collaborator EXitZero's OC heroine Flechette (who is featured in my novella Flechette: Mesmerized, available at Smashwords and Amazon) as well as a recent artwork series I used to promote that book:

And here are two figures I recently added to my content library: Natasha and Sheryl. The former became the basis for my version of Cracovia's Fenrir agent Chimaera, while the latter I used to create Doctor-Awkward's bodacious punk-turned-heroine Vigor.




















On to the fashion show!

First off let's focus on the world of work. Here's Candy in a sexy pizza girl outfit. I think I should dress up someone in this costume and have her chloroform, kidnap, and tie up PizzaNerd1, don't you? Turnabout is fair play, after all.

The other outfit is called "Job Interview". I'd say she's qualified for just about any position she wants... heh heh... position, get it? Huh? HUH?

Yeah okay.




















Now for some costumes I think could work for either a new superheroine or supervillainess. Feel free to contribute ideas, here or back at Deviant Art.




















And last but not least, some sexy lingerie and dresses.






































And that's it for this blog post!

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!

Mesmerized Spectres and More...

Wow, it's been almost a month since the last blog post! Time for another one, especially now that I've accumulated a few "probably not safe for D.A." images to post.

First off here's the "missing" image from my promotional series for Mesmerized (obligatory plug/links: Amazon and Smashwords). I probably could have got away with posting this at D.A. but as I've said before anything even remotely doubtful goes here on the blog.

I really like this new Flechette model I've created. She's probably my favourite EXitZero heroine so I'll have to do more with her... eventually.

Next up is a series of commissions. My patron obviously has a thing for a certain golden age heroine. We agreed to call her "Spectre Woman", but... I think we know who we're talkin' about. Angela/Night Angel fills the role and the skimpy outfit.

Next up are some fashion pin-ups. These are larger and more high-quality than the usual tests I post here. I had intended to post these at D.A. but I didn't like them as much as some other recent pinups, so here they are, featuring Candy/Duster, Angela/Night Angel, and Rita/Whirlwind.

And that's it for this blog entry. But stick around because I'm working on a very racy series of six images featuring Duster and her frequent enemy Gladiator that will see the light of day here pretty soon!
