@just-eyris-reblogs tyvm! It's always a joy reading your comments haha :) I hope these next pages don't disappoint!
And you're absolutely right, his heart's ambitions are importanter
@three-antlered-deer Ty!! Haha omg I was legit giggling to myself when drawing this page. The joke of Tora as Black Bandit slowly transforming into the Melandru performer while arguing with himself was way too much fun :D
I, uh, oh god okay you're gonna laugh at me but my brain sees a comment like this and just fixates on it in a dumb panicky way. Like "oh god it's cause I've been drawing him extra busty in that outfit isn't it" "oh no the truth is gonna disappoint people oh no oh no" I mean you're not the only person who's pointed out his er... top. Look, I drew him, ok? I know what I did.
We have indeed seen most of his chest multiple times! In his regular outfit no less, but you'd be forgiven for not noticing because I've simply never drawn/shaded his chest in a way that calls much attention to it. You can see it quite a bit in I Dream Of Blu!
(There's also a couple drawings on this blog somewhere with him shirtless but they're old and make me cringe)
And alas there's the tragic truth: Tora is not secretly well-endowed, he's part of the itty bitty titty committee. Granted he's not completely flat (again my lack of shading in this episode makes him look flatter than he is) but he's not busty. The busty Tora in the current episode is a straight up lie.
Heck, the original design for Lady Tora wasn't as busty as the final rendition!
Not gonna show the full thing, that's a Patreon exclusive, but hopefully you see what I mean? Technically that's more what his chest should naturally look like in that dress.
So how'd this happen? I ended up changing parts of the design on the fly when he finally showed up as Lady Tora. I felt like he wasn't enough of an absolute knockout so I changed up his hair, softened his makeup, made that boob window more scandalous and gave him a bit of cleavage.
The idea behind this disguise was that he just used a lot of fashion tape or something to force some amount of cleavage out of what little he has. Or called in a favor with some unknown Mesmer contact - the how didn't really matter? The result is the same, he looks like he has more booba than he actually does.
I am so sorry to disappoint
I'm also sorry I wrote a god damn essay on Tora's tits of all things
I hope it was at least entertaining
Thank you for your comments though y'all
It honestly makes creating my nonsense worth it
