Whew, getting the lines done for this one was more time intensive than usual. Which, I'm afraid, comes hand-in-hand with the cause of me being a bit less happy with this one than I've been with most of the new pieces. The simply truth is that I'm pretty sure I can count the number of images I've drawn from the rear-view like this on one hand without running out of fingers. It's simply not a perspective I've put the time into to get good at yes. As a result, I'm utterly unshocked that it was both harder for me to get through and produced a somewhat weaker result. Hopefully the end piece will be decent enough.
Anyway, I think I'm going to shut down the skin tone poll within the next 24 hours or so. I want, if at all possible, to get both of the inked images I've posted properly colored by the tend of the month. Which means I need to choose a skin tone despite the poll being seriously inconclusive. If you exclude my own vote, the two tones came out as a flat tie -_-. Seriously, I just can't seem to win with the polls this month :-p.
As a finally quick note, for those of you wondering why the Short Story hasn't show up yet, it's been fighting me. Thankfully, despite that, it's almost done. Though I ended up having to split it into parts, which I was originally hoping to avoid. I basically just have the major sex scene left to right, then a quick editing pass. I'm hoping to push through the sex scene tonight, though I've been kinda under-the-weather and that tends to make writing those portions harder(hence why it's the last thing, which isn't normal give that the sex is usually the easiest thing to write). So we'll see. Either way, there shouldn't be much risk (beyond the usual possibility of dire events) of it not being out before the end of the month.
