Yes, more coloring of Valtik’s Roo. Spent some quantity time with this one. Whether or not it shows is a different question, but damn if I’m not going to make you look at all the shit I did! 🙂

That’s the original. So there’ll be no hiding in dark places on this one. In fact, those few places with shade, I removed so I could do my own shading. Here’s the base colors:

A bit more work on the background here than I usually do, and I added some sand on her blanket. Yeah, there’s a couple of quirky spots, but don’t worry, those get covered up anyway later. But it was about here that the 2nd boob started bothering me. I ended up going with it as-is, but it just seems somehow wrong. Maybe too low? But others convinced me it was fine, so in the end I removed an edit I did and went back to the original.  Now… shading…

There’s my light-lines layer as well as shade layers to help guide where shading needs to go. The source is also closer to the viewer so most of the good stuff is out of the shade. The shading on the blanket is my standard “purple multiply” layer stuff, but the shade on her body is actually a Normal layer with selected color rather than the same. Kept the shading pretty sharp because the next is not going to be sharp at all…

That too is actual painting rather than just gloss. It does function like gloss somewhat, but the colors aren’t just lighter, they’re a bit warmer (redder) than simply a lighter color. Yeah, that’s what I get from reading some tutorials.Don’t worry, there’s still true gloss to come…

Now… what’s different this time? Edge reflections. Those edges near the blanket are taking on some of the blue hue of the blanket, while upper edges are outlined in white, suggesting light from above. Not the first time I’ve done reflectivity, but it may be the most obvious on her butt.  Okay, time to wrap this up.  Guess what’s next?

Highlights in the eyes, some glossy on her ass and… intimate places.  Even some on her book to suggest a glossy cover. Yup! I like it. 

As to her attitude, why’s she disappointed in you THIS time? Of course, only Valtik knows for sure and he’s not talking. My first impression was another “Stiop looking at my ass!” type frown. But on reflection, I don’t think that’s it. 

I think it’s a “What the hell are you waiting for? A literal fucking invitation? I didn’t bring you to this private nude beach just to read a book! Lick it or something!!” sort of frown.
