COMMISSION: Wish Fulfillment


Commission for CDB2, a sort of continuation for this pic. The dialogue is also by him. This is the second pic I've done of Desiree that shows her full body, something which we never see in the original show. A wasted opportunity, if you ask me – she did have rather wide hips...

I included some unused ideas from the previous Desiree pic into this one, mainly the background items you see in Tucker's room. Infact, the Leia poster is directly lifted from the previous commission sketch. The shading's more traditional this time so if you're wondering why there's no bloom or anything, I know, it's left out on purpose.

I've also included some alternative versions with a more canonical background. There's also dialogue-free versions of the pic available.




 
Yes, I was thinking of Aeolus06's art when sketching the pic...

LITE ART: New Year's Jubilee


UPDATE (about 6 hours later): well, I did manage to fuck it up. I had to redraw the right hand of the girl on the left side because I had accidentally drawn her thumb on the wrong side. Thanks for noticing it, Z. This means that I now had to use Photoshop to replace the erroneus hand with a proper one. Darn it!


Yes, it's a new 'lite art' piece. I haven't done these for almost three years. It's also traditionally inked as opposed to my usual artwork and the only tweaking I've done in Photoshop consists of arranging the girls and the text and cleaning up some pencil lines. This is, in a way, a sequel to this old X-Mas pic from 2008 and once again features sexy girls drawn in Aragonés style.

2012 was an interesting year. Throughout the year, I had been pushing myself to learn better shading and lighting effects and learning new, more effective ways of colouring a picture to speed up art creation process. I had two successful commission runs and tried out characters and cartoon series I hadn't done before. I had the pleasure of discovering Gravity Falls and was disappointed by SheZow (concept was awesome, execution was bad, most likely ruined by political correctness). I was scared shitless when Disney purchased Star Wars but felt some relief when J. J. Abrams announced he wasn't going to be directing. I watched the Roland Emmerich movie 2012 on December 21st, 2012, celebrating doomsday I knew wouldn't be coming anyway.

Let's see what 2013 has to offer. I know I'll be working with a high-end PC soon and I might even get myself a graphics tablet of some sort, so that should at least speed things up :)

Happy New Year 2013, everyone!
