Illustration / Character design references

It seems like today’s illustration day~. Well, for me, not everyone else here.

I’ve gotten the final version of the third illustration for an upcoming new girl and sketch number 4 for her.

I also received two sketches with Maya/Ari and Anna/Sophia.

To top that, I got an early concept sketch Maya/Sophia -almost- going at it… Sophia tried to be the top before, but this time Maya will be the one and… I’m not sure if I’m going through with the idea… I gave the artist references for the two, a rough scene, and some pointers. “No private parts, but other than that, go wild and make it suggestive,” is what I said. I didn’t think about the part where that artist used to draw hentai and regularly does nudity… My definition of ‘wild’ and theirs didn’t quite match up. It does look amazing, though… I need to think about that one.

Also, looking at their references kinda made me want to have an onsen/hot spring illustration… They’re really good at drawing water scenes… (So much for thinking about the other one)

It would actually fit the chapters I’m currently laying out, and… uhh… Yeah, reasons… It’s kinda hard to find the middle ground there. It should be suggestive, but not purely be fanservice… No looking at the ‘viewers’ or presenting ‘stuff’.

If you want an onsen/hot spring illustration to happen, hit me with references of such scenes that aren’t such purely perverted fanservice shots!

I’m leaning towards something like this:

(Not sure if that's NSFW... Well, isn't anything that isn't WORK NSFW...? It's nothing explicit, but still, click on it alone.)

The girls are busy with each other, and nothing is -actually- out in the open. I might would change the level of opaqueness of the water, though.

Anyway, hitting me with good references would increase the chances of it happening~.

It would take a while, though. I want it to happen with the full main cast of 6 (humanoid) girls. That doesn’t line up with the current cast, does it?

Speaking of that, the next girl, as mentioned before, is already fully done, and I’m currently getting one illustration after another of her.

I’ve also started designing the character afterward. Looks, race, personality, and all that is already done, but I haven’t yet decided on her clothes. If you want to see a short-to-medium-haired girl in some specific clothes, hit me with references, as well! Conditions: Nothing ridiculous (kinda fitting to the other girls), and it should be clothes that work in fall/autumn.

Also, Autumn/Winter clothes for Ellie!

TL:DR:

IF you want an onsen/hot-spring illustration to happen and get bragging rights for having been a part of designing an upcoming girl, hit me with references~.
