Just a otter

This piece has been rotting in my art folder for months now and I finally figured out how I Wanted to color/render Dinraal.

PROMPTS | RULES | DISCORD

Alt text and examples:

September 6 - fumbling (first-timers generally aren't sex gods, and will have more enthusiasm than skill) OR getting caught (by parents/Sheikah/other authority figures)

September 7 - mis-orgasming (orgasming too early, or can't orgasm) OR interruptions (by kids/pets/etc)

September 8 - realistic (decisions like taking a break to get a drink, downtime between rounds) OR realistic bodies (bodies that include fat, cellulite, small breasts/hips/genitals, body hair, stretch marks, scars, prosthetics, etc)

September 9 - require working through or around medical problems (vaginismus, erectile dysfunction, chronic illness) OR older bodies (bodies that include gray hair, wrinkles, saggy skin, age spots, etc)

September 10 - require dealing with trauma (of any kind - purity culture, past abuse) OR distance (physical like phone sex, mutual masturbation or mental distance like not being on the same page for what they want)

September 11 - involve kinks or fetishes that don't go as anticipated (a dom can't think of anything to say, a roleplayer can't keep from giggling during a scene) OR unusual expressions during sex (laughing, joy, sneezing, etc)

✦ One more step! ✦

Stolen away... again.

I was resolved to use color for the 2-hour pose today!

Felt good about:

Sketched out the form quickly and efficiently today :) Even successfully revised the figure to exaggerate the gesture a bit further.

Got the proper amount of contrast I wanted on the upper back/shoulders 😍

Still struggling with:

Had a real hard time finding a not-terrible color palette. In the end I got something that worked well enough for lighting & contrast, but could be much better when it comes to hue variation and an appealing skin tone.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (2023)

Felt good about:

Making use of 3D forms to get a more accurate and gestural drawing 😎

Still struggling with:

Still didn't do the best at using shading to emphasize the right parts of the picture, instead of just messily copying lights/shadows I see

I think I should try using color next time, skin tone is still something I need to work on 😌
