Description So I ran across this cute little picture the other day, and it made me realize that nearly every TF subject in my gallery is a young adult. Which is fine and all, but still, you need a little variety, right? So in the interest of variety, here's a couple of younger kids (10-12ish,) Max a.k.a. "Mack" and his friend Lisa, learning a very important lesson about food safety.



This was interesting to do. I've done plenty of work with multi-layer images before, but this is one of the few where one character takes up multiple layers. I was trying to give a sense of volume as Mack becomes more transparent; not sure how well it worked, but there you go. Unfortunately, this meant I had to take a different approach to shading, and I'm not 100% happy with how that turned out, but oh well. Next time I'll see if I can't make it look better. The backgrounds also could've used a little more work, now that I look at them...

On the bright side, I am plenty happy with the expressions here, and drawing all the organelles was fun, even if I only bothered to decide what a few of them were meant to be

Ah, but then we'd be denied the story potential of her growing up this way...

Even when you wrote this comment, it had been seven years, so presumably *she* did in fact grow up this way... how are she and Lisa doing, anyway?

Nice work! Love the ooze look! I read you did mult-layers but how exactly did you make him look like that (it is VERY well done). I hope we she a female tf into a googirl at one point! Happy to discover you!
Also best not to make to many kids tf pictures many because alot of people that I am watching are finding trolls that are deleting such pictures.

nothingsp In reply to Slime-Series [2010-06-05 14:20:40 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's why I studiously avoided putting anything untoward in the picture. Besides, if anything happens, I have it up on my FurAffinity gallery as well.

As for the multi-layer stuff, what I did was to divide the character into three separate "depth" levels, so I could have certain parts seen "through" the parts that were closer to the "camera" (i.e. seeing the legs through the "skirt," or having the pigtails behind the head, which is behind the bangs.) I need to learn a little more about Photoshop blending to really make it work, but I think it's the right approach.

One thing I should've done, though, is do corresponding layers for the shading as well; as it is, all the shading is on one layer, and it doesn't look quite right on the slime-girl frames.
