I’ll be yabbering a lot in this one, but most likely you’ve already seen the photo post I made on her. This is the end product that I’ll be working my way towards in this long-ass story of Wears-Only-Ropes.
That’s Wears-Only-Ropes as designed by Boogeestro, colored, water and sub by me. So here’s the story. Well really, HERE is her story:
So I write fanfiction, mostly based around Prequel. A while back I got the idea to write one using Ra’Jirra from Prequel as a spy in a sort of alternate-universe Tamriel from Elder Scrolls, where magic is fading and technology is beginning to come to power. The first was named “From Elsweyr With Love” – yeah, a take not only from the Bond movie, but some plot elements were lifted from the original as well.
I had a lot of fun writing that, so I did another called You Only Live 18 Times. In an odd way, I did pull some plot points from the Bond movie You Only Live Twice too, though unless you’ve seen that movie recently, I’d be surprised if you spot them too much. This time the story has a nautical slant, though Ra’Jirra still is the central character.
That image up there is part of the story too. By Boogeestro, who I’d only recently “tuned in to” and he did that one for me. I described the CATv3 as a sort of steampunk-JetSki, and he did an amazing job envisioning it. His Ra’Jirra design isn’t hard to look at either!
So I wanted another, and magically found some $ in my Paypal, so I gave him 3 scenes to choose from that he’d be interested in, and he chose the climactic scene from the You Only Live 18 Times story to do. I watched his stream as he drew her, though I had only the barest idea what she should look like. He produced this…
That design is just nuts. A friggin fluted TAIL? She was more than I’d ever hoped. I can say I suggested the Sailor tattoo on her leg at least. Well after that, I knew this was no longer just an illustration of a part of the story, this is a damned PROMOTION of it! So I’d better do the colors and background RIGHT. First thing I wanted was to get a color scheme. That crazy aquatic argonian design demands something not too conservative, thats for sure! I ended up going with this:
I liked the look of it, even though it’s far from conservative. In the scene from the story, she’s swimming down to a submarine. I intentionally left out a crucial thing so you won’t know exactly what’s happening just from the illustration. But she’s scared, I’ll leave it at that. So I went and found a tutorial describing how to illustrate an underwater scene in Photoshop. I followed it and came up with this frankly gorgeous background.
I was tempted to stop right there. Looks almost like a cel from a movie – well, other than the boobs and lizard puddy. But you’ve seen the final version and there’s not a lot more to tell. Just that I really think for a change I did Boogeestro’s design proud with my colors and background. One thing I KNOW is that I love the result.
That’s it. Wears-Only-Ropes, from You Only Live 18 Times. If you’ve read this far, you might as well read the story. Knowledge of the prior one isn’t necessary, but if you like it, you can always go back to read From Elsweyr With Love. Also, I am writing the final story now, named On His Mane’s Secret Service. This time though, other than lifting the title, it’s a completely original plot.
Wears-Only-Ropes – from my story You Only Live 18 Times, which itself is the second in a series I call Spyjirra. If you want to read about Wears-Only-Ropes, here’s the first part of the story:
If you just want to oogle the pretty purple Argonian, here’s a better picture with that huge pesky plot point removed:
Boogeestro did the character design and lines. I did the water background, the sub, and her colors. I’ll be posting a text about the whole thing shortly. I hope you like, because not only is this IMHO the best I’ve ever done, it may be the best I ever will do.
…and it makes you scrunch up your face in weird and amusing ways.
So I wanted to do a SFW Prequel-related thing because I like to post to Prequel fanart booru sometimes, and all I’ve been doing lately are NSFW stuff and audio files, so I looked and found this “classic” Katia by Plague of Gripes:
Now I don’t know when he originally drew it, but I’m sure it was years ago – pre-hiatus, and I don’t THINK it had ever been colored, so I took steps to rectify that. First, I found this canon image that I pulled the base colors off of. They’re all dark and muted because it’s at night of course, but there’s a light off to her right too.
So here’s my base coloring (and background)…
Next, I added a layer I named “glowybits”. This isn’t how I do shading typically, but it made since to mimic Kaz’ pallet – so the parts of Katia that are lit by the nearby streetlamp are her “original” colors. So here it is with the Glowybits layer:
I did obviously move the lighting a bit more forward so we could see more of her face. The fact that it also allows for lighting of her boobs was PURELY coincidental. 🙂
Next up, highlighting and gloss layer:
Almost there! Now, all that’s needed is to add a low-opacity reflection layer, and Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!:
As in the original, the snow is tending to build up on horizontal surfaces like the top of her head, her pauldrons, and… her boobies. But don’t distract her by mentioning it – she’s CONCENTRATING! You can brush that snow off her later.
I’m often torn if I should post non-NSFW artwork on my NSFW blog. I usually go for it, which I’m doing now by reblogging this. Besides, as much time as I spent on getting her little boobies Just So, I think there’s enough here to keep anyone entertained. 🙂
I actually inked this as well as coloring it this time. It was such a cyoot poor Katia, I had to do it. He named it Magical Mishap, but when talking about it to somebody, we started thinking of all the ways we could help put out those little fires on her before they do any real damage. Somehow we decided that if you use your tongue to help soothe the ouchies, she would taste like burnt marshmallows.
And because I always dream up some backstory, I imagine she had just added flame resistant charm to her clothes and was testing it out when FWOOMP! They resisted the flame all right! They retreated from her bodily to escape them in fact.
Original by Damn Lasso Tool. He did his own coloring of it, but I was feeling uninspired and wanted to color something new. So I did some hunting for monochromatic images on e621 and came across this. I’ve never played a Spyro game in my life, but at least I know who Cynder is. Lasso did his own coloring you can see here:
I didn’t see his colored version, or I might not have done this, but I’m glad I did. I think it turned out pretty good. I got to do lots of shinybits and added some
inconspicuous scale texture underneath (if you can see em). I particularly like those little bellylines for some reason. They make me smile.
Boogeestro drew it a few days ago and I’ve been working on it every free second. I rather like it, if you can’t tell. That’s the CatV3 she’s riding – a sort of steampunk-ish JetSki.
And yeah, I gave her a nip bump. Hey, give her a break. She’s wet and excited. These things happen!
Not technically NSFW. Or is it? Well, close enough to send to my nsfw blog.
Lizbians – photo version so hi res is easier. I think.
Here’s another. I’ve posted it already a couple places, but did some final cleanup tonight before putting in places where it’s hard to update. Sorry, another long story I’m afraid. First, about Boogeestro. Sashimi came across him sort of randomly on Picarto and I joined in to watch a stream where he was doing (among other things) what became this Rajirra:
Wow! That’s good!
Couple days later Sashimi asked me what character I’d like to see nekked. (No, Boog doesn’t have a problem leaning risque by any means!) Well, I’m partial to the Argonians in Prequel of course, so I figured Quill-Weave or Weedum-Ja. Then Boogeestro was streaming again and – well I kinda expected it but – he was doing not one, but both! Wow! Cool! Now frankly this is a little more porny than I typically go. Also, this is an altered version of the original sketch already – I’ve lost the true original. But I’ll explain…
There were a couple of things that frankly I didn’t like on the original sketch. Pretty sure Boog wouldn’t mind me altering this one since it was kinda given to me though, so I decided to do some alterations. First, (and you won’t see this cuz I lost the original), Weedum-Ja’s head simply didn’t look at all like her. Mostly her snout was too straight. But it just so happened I have a Kaz drawing I’d colored some time ago of her in profile, so I superimposed it, resizing etc. so it fit with everything else, and then hand-traced it using similar lines styles to what Boog drew originally – primarily the shape of her head. But also, as much I do love the, er… female anatomy, being able to see Weedum’s puddy just doesn’t look right. It’s just not possible given that position. So I altered those lines too. Quill-Weave’s will have to do here.
But also I must mention the linework. I spent a long time working on cleaning up the sketch, and had just about given up being able to make it as clean as I wanted without inking. I started doing that, when Sashimi mentioned something Kaz had suggested called Vector Trace. Sashi thought it was a feature of Photoshop (it’s not – it’s in Illustrator, that I don’t have). But it got me researching, and I found a site where you can upload your sketches and it will turn them into Vectors. I had varying degrees of success with it, having had to clean some stuff up beforehand, so it’s not some miracle for inking, but it’s really cool when it works! So those lines were originally Vectorized. I had to convert back to Rasterized of course, but it went a long way to cleaning up the sketch beautifully, needing only a few fine tweaks.
Okay, shading – pretty standard, hard shading (again, seems like the line style would favor hard shading…)
I did LOTS more before getting to the point below. Including… 1. Scale texture on Weedum-Ja’s reddish areas. 2. Tail “gator” scales on Quill-Weave’s undertail stripe. (she doesn’t have that as a canon design in Prequel, but I the idea so extended it.) 3. Added wetness in various places. A few sweat drops on QW’s head, some wetness where WJ is concentrating her efforts. (Hey, not ALL attention needs to be directly applied to nipples!). And of course the place where wetness is most… expected. 4. Patented Bluedraggy latex overly shinyness and eye highlights.
So then it was time to decide what to do for a background. Not sure if I did as good a job with that, but I decided they’d be making out on a fur rug, so I went that route. Used my old technique of noise on the wooden floorboards, then motion-blurred to represent grain..
Oh, and lovey hearts. I originally had them placed… much lower on Quill-Weave. But in the result they looked more like a string of heart-shaped beads being used “for her pleasure”. So I moved them to her head.
And that’s it. Lizbians. There is no backstory here. It’s just porn. Quill-Weave is (prob) canon Lesbian, but she’s hot for human women. She’s kinky like that and would probably find another Argonian rather boring. Though they do have tails that can be fun! As for Weedum-Ja, as best I understand it she’s some sort of god-tier warrior that just is seen cleaning the Chapel in Prequel. I do picture her as much wilder than QW, so I could see her getting hot and bothered and acting on it, if in the mood.
Will You Still Love This One Tomorrow? – The Movie!
No, really I just wanted to do this one image as a “Photo” type Tumblr post because I think it let’s you see it at higher res without going through weird URL manipulation. So sorry for the kinda double-post.
This one is by Tealtentacles (according to E621) or by Guoh somewhere else. I don’t think the style looks right for Guoh though, so let’s call it by Tealtentacles. The eyes hooked me, and the kinda small breasts too. But those eyes are practically HAUNTING. And, though yeah – it’s porn I suppose. I prefer to think of it as highly sexual though. Sex is natural. Porn is usually the farthest thing from natural. At least that’s how I see it. Fuck it, it’s what it is…
I went through a lot of variations on this one that I think you might find entertaining. First, of course, the base colors:
FurNut is messing with some fur brushes he got, so I felt like giving some a try too. Don’t laugh, its just an experiment!
Unfortunately she looks like a werewolf. I abandoned that for another time. But it was around here I happened to be chatting with Rajirra’s #1 Fan and I realized that this would be REAL easy to convert to Rajirra (despite the fact that they look totally and completely different and to say otherwise would be Khajiit-racist. You’re not racist are you?)
So here’s starting over with Rajirra colors and some hair I added.
Fortunately, because of her position I didn’t have much to worry about trying to duplicate the style in the hair. I think it doesn’t stand out as too much different. Now, for shading. I decided to go for soft shading this time (prob. because I abandoned it on the last one).
But wait! There’s more! A little gloss and some eye highlighting and she’s basically done. I love her eyes on this one. She’s got stars in her eyes. Literally. There’s a reason for that coming up. And her eyes are very dilated. That’s a sure sign of sexual arousal. Or drugs. Or low light. You can decide which.
If that ground shading seems unusually dark, there’s a reason and it involves the next question. I almost always add some sort of background. For some reason I got it into my head that I REALLY wanted this to be a night picture, and Sashimi mentioned in his fanfiction that the first time his OC and Raj ‘got together’ was lakeside. It wasn’t supposed to be at night, but I had my idea anyway. Lakeside at night. Now, sometimes I cheat and just go find a photo or something, but not this time. I actually worked on the background…
That’s the basics. Added stars and a moon and some leaves hanging over to give it a real outdoorsy feel, as well as some awesome moon reflections on the water. Also I darkened her main shading even more, as the one thing that stands out to me in a nighttime image is the stark shading.
Now, purists would say that lighting can’t be moonlight because the Moon is behind her. Well, guess what.. there’s more than one moon on Nirn! 🙂
So that’s it. My headcanon says she’s about to go all-the-way with her partner for the first time, but she’s worried that this will change their relationship. She wants to, but it’s a big step. However, the moon is right, the summer breeze on her fur has her in the mood, and her lover is just as eager.
And so, she asks the age old, time honored and unanswerable question…
