Description
Lately, when I'm not working on a project, I find myself playing with various elements of the programs I depend on. This submission is an example of some Photoshop techniques and filters I've been toying with, trying to find a style that I really like... and I feel like I'm getting closer!This is an example of the same picture, an original render on the left and the after-filter result on the right. What do you all think?
This won't change the way TAG looks, but it is an idea I'd like to play with an upcoming "surprise."

my comments are more general.
lips look like collagen bags, very large.
Eyes look like they have contacts.

I would love it if you could start with something not out of a robo-babe catalog. They remind me of prostitutes lining up along a staircase waiting for a paying John.Β My avatar is part of my rebellion.

This is a character from a comic I'm creating. Some of the proportions are a bit on the "extreme" side for the sake of learning the 3D software, I just wanted to see what I could get away with. It was my first time using it when I set this up and I did get a bit carried away, but few are actually upset by that. I apologize that you're one of them, but I won't apologize for my own personal inspirations, however they may materialize.
I feel like the other women in my story (while perhaps a bit flamboyant) are more your speed, but I doubt you'd appreciate this tale. Honestly you may not like anything I put out, since my own personal interests are what really inspire my art. For that I am sorry, but I guess you can't please everyone eh?
Realism just doesn't attract me on an artistic level.

Realism has little place in art, especially in "narrative" art.Β A story of normal people, looking normal, doing normal things, would put us to sleep half way through the first paragraph or the equivalent in pic sequence.
That said, an artistic decision needs to be made.Β Is the art supporting a larger goal? Is the art there for itself?
The answer to that then drives how the elements work together.Β We have here and elsewhere "stories" that are only there to get some rather strange artistic notions page time.Β There is emphatically a market for that. A large one.
If the goal is to tell a tale that has plot, character, place/milieu, (message), then the art is there to support the elements.Β I am strongly biased to stories that care about the characters, good, bad, or evil, enough to get us to believe in them.Β I take it as a given that the art, just like the narrative is "exaggerated" to carry interest, and to make points.
To make this specific. Β Let us day that Β I am reading a story, then am interrupted by a character with body features that would qualify for derision in the street.Β I stop, interrupting the flow of the story, to understand what the message here is.Β If the graphics do not support the story I thought I was reading, I have to sift out what I should be thinking.Β
This is Deadly to capturing and keeping a reader.Β
Now, specific to my comments above. I went back to the original story, which I like.Β I am assuming that the redhead is the pig-in-punishment.Β If I am right, then the exaggerated body parts support the narrative of punishment which also include heightened physical and mental response to sexual stimulate.
If I am placing the trials with the right story, then most of my comments were poorly stated.Β To the point that I should have refrained.Β The exaggerations support the story.
thanks for putting up with me.Β I am not an artistic type, just a cranky old engineer.

I completely agree and strive for a happy marriage of erotica and storytelling. Some fetishes may not always agree with some, but I do my best to not allow them to interrupt the flow of the story. It just seems we were in a bit of mis-communication, but we actually see eye-to-eye, at least when it comes to this.
I may eventually just have erotica tales with little story, sometimes I'm just inspired to go in that direction. Especially after a long story. I apologize for those and I'll be sure to label them with a disclaimer, lol. The great thing about art over writing though, is that by the time I get the actual thing in motion, enough time has passed that I wind up passing through my "excited" phase.
What type of engineer are you? I'm currently a Bio-medical student in my bachelor's program. Feel free to twitter me, note me or email me at a.tseudonimm@gmail.com. I'd love to continue this conversation.

i'll have to say the before one as well. the after makes the darks too dark, almost so much that you can barely see fine detail of her choker. and if you examine the lacing of her bra and the strands of her hair, it has a blurring affect on those more delicate aspects of the image

Thank you for the critique. This is what experimenting is all about isn't it? Finding what works and what doesn't. Well back to the ol digital drawing board for me.

Hmm, well it seems this step away from the genetic 3D look isn't so popular. I guess I'll have to play with it a bit more.Β
Well thanks for the honest feedback.

Out of curiosity, how does this one feel? It's just a softening effect. [LINK]

Well no worries. Like I said, it's not changing the look of my current comic. I'm just trying new things to perhaps stand out a little. Thank you for your honesty though.
