I definitely change to color of the scene intentionally to convey the mood, and I've tried to make different magical effects look different and stick out more than the mood lighting. The girl in Dark Altar is being directly influenced by magic, so her eyes glow. Mistress's eyes glow occasionally due to her innate magical nature.
I don't have an exact system worked out, I just try to make it look right.
Okay, here's a theory. I think the colors of the collars have different meanings. Back in Dark Alter, the girl's collar seemed to amplify emotions of desire, and in combination with a number of enchanted orbs in the room, manifested into a masculine being. Looking at the color of her collar, I'd say it could be Magenta, which is supposed to be the color of Harmony and emotional balance. I think that the girl in that story was an enemy combatant with some sort of magical ability, who was forced in that room to subdue her desire to fight by manifesting her desires to submit creating balance.
In Alison's case, her collar being blue might represent trust and loyalty. Torrin is the first man she's ever been with, something that must've been difficult for her, considering her past. Even leading up to sex, she trusts him in their day-to-day and with the massage. Now that she trusts him enough to have sex, the collar is responding to him, which could mean it's promoting a loyalty in Alison towards Torrin.
Actually, looking over this entire chapter, color plays a HUGE part in the progression of the story. It starts with Pink which is tender and compassionate, to Turquoise with control and self-sufficiency to black with fear and mystery, to indigo with intuition, to pg. 15 where Alison is literally Pink in contrast to Torrin's Blue, to sexy time in pink (back to that unconditional love), to Alison through her collar being the one who's blue.
Admin-sama, do you have a color fetish or am I just bananas??!
What would sell this panel even better than what you've already done with it is if Torin's shadow were seen looming over the foot of the bed that we see Allison lying helplessly on here -- indicating his presence in the scene and implying his approach and imminent claiming of her prone body and her utter inability to resist whatever he wants to do to her!!
Awww, check out how Matilda beams with effervescent joy at receiving the pearl necklace that her thoughtfull boss gave her as a token of appreciation the pride she that she puts into her position and her zealous dedication to productivity and laser-eyed focus to seeing a project to its completion no matter how long that it takes!!!
This is one of my favorites panels that showcase Allison! Nothing sexual is going on (apart from her huge breasts being in clear view), but the dark moody coloration, and the expression on her face sell this image even though it has no narration or dialog text to give context to what's going on within it!
"His footsteps had awoken her as he approached to return to their bed. The early summer breeze came in from the window he had opened moments ago.
The fragrant air, touched with the sweet smell of the cherry blossoms of the tree in the garden just outside their room floated across her. A cool breeze was welcome this summer night after they had retired to bed not more than an hour ago.
She stirred, and sat up to look at him. The moonlight lay across her body, softly highlighting her delicate features against the stillness of the room.
A slight smile appeared on her lips and an mischievous twinkle shown in her eyes as she spoke to him, inviting him to join her again, his body with hers. God! She was so alluring in this sweet summer night!"
I have to say, I just love this image! I think I'm coming back more and more to view it, rather than your last two animations (which is more of what I'm normally looking for, and are excelent in their own right). But this one... Her expression, body pose, her action... they all work together so well! Bravo!
Wondetful. You can see that she has accepted, enjoyed and now loves her new role as a woman. The collar around her neck and biting the lower lip are all signs of her submission.
Fantastic work, as always, and I especially like this one.
Just curious... since this particular blonde, as tagged, is a recurring character in these sketches and vignettes, several of them gender swaps, I wonder how you basically picture him/her when you devise these.
Is the guy someone who willingly wants the sex-change for himself, but maybe gets more then he bargained for after it happens (basically, "be careful what you wish for")... or, is he someone who has been tricked/forced into changing into a sexy little female form against his will, and now as a sex-slave, quickly has to learn to love it (or finds himself adapting to his new role quickly)?
I really enjoy this one. The lighting is done nicely, in my opinion, and her expression seems satisfied and contemplative. Most of all, though, I enjoy that there's more of a setting in this piece. I understand that many of these are sketches, or take place in a situation where setting (beyond the bed) is largely irrelevant, but I really like seeing the outside world for a change. Helps form the story and provide context. Long comment short - kudos.
Damnit, I really wanted to be your first patron but paypal is making me wait about a week before it transfers the funds into my account. Hopefully nobody beats me to the punch! or... hopefully somebody does, win/win for you I suppose :p
