This isn't necessarily a final design, but this slightly more creature-like demoness is probably the direction I'm going to take in re-imagining them for Smacky's story. I'd still like to find a less reptilian skin to blend in, but this one is about all I have at the moment that looks decent. As I know some of you may not care for this look, please let me explain some of the reasons why I'm considering it.

* I'm rather dissatisfied with the fantasy clothing options for the Genesis 2 Female so far. Most of them are neither practical or ridiculously impractical; they're too revealing for a heroine or average fantasy female, but in my opinion they're not revealing enough for a demoness or a pinup from a Frazetta or Boris painting. Using V4 clothing is getting to be a pain because I end up having to repaint half of it by hand in the end due to mesh distortion from conforming or pokethrough from having to be parented rather than fit to the figure. Vaene, Pype, and Vyle will still wear clothes, this is just the idea for generic demoness minions.

* Up to now, the demonesses in my Smacky images have really only been shapely women with wings. They're supposed to be physical manifestations of dark underworld spirits, and yet they never do anything otherworldly except occasionally breathe fire. Giving them creature features accomplishes some important things:

- It helps to clearly define them as enemies.

- Better justifies their superior height and strength.

- Possibly allows them to appear without wings in battle scenes. Not having them in the way would make it much easier to assemble large fights against many demonesses, as well as allowing Smacky to perform attacks on them that would be difficult to do when their wings are extended (like grappling, anything from behind, etc)

- Makes me feel better about having Smacky dispatch them with blades. I never felt all that comfortable making images of Smacky slaying demonesses with swords when they just looked like attractive women. Adding a little bit of beast to them makes it more clear that the heroes are fighting an enemy that is not of this world and that cannot be reasoned with.

I've made a lot of small but important changes to Smacky's story in the last week trying to fix plot holes and explain why things happen the way they do. Important essentials haven't changed though; there will still be lots of sexy women and lots of punching. Some outfits may change in time (I've experimented a little with a more practical fighting outfit for Smacky, but it won't be ready any time soon), and I'm trying to slowly develop some new abilities for Smacky so she can do something other than punch (she does have a ridiculous way of getting places in a hurry now), but I'll try hard not to stray too far from what you already like about her and my art.

Thanks as always for taking a look!
