Whiplash Tease House

Here is the cover of a "tease house" brochure that will appear in my forthcoming "kinetic novel" type short story. As a reminder, here is a description of what a tease house is:

Tease houses

The purpose of these special facilities is to sexually
arouse male guests so that they generate large quantities
of sex credits. Tease houses often operate along similar
lines to those of a bordello, except that clients do not
actually have sex or obtain sexual relief. Since most
male guests have masochistic tendencies, many tease
houses have a 'femdom' theme.

Visitors: Frame 7 + Quick Update


Here is ‘Frame 7’ and a quick update on my current progress etc.

- First, thank you for your comments. I haven’t answered any individually for a while, but the following points will hopefully answer some of your queries.

- As many of you may have noticed, the “Visitors” series is not big on “artistic consistency”. In part, that’s because I was trying to do something using raster graphics (in which I have very little experience) rather than vector graphics. However, as an experiment, it’s really just confirmed how much I love producing vector art, which is far more suited to my temperament and way of working. So I’m going back to vector illustrations. Frame 7 was produced entirely using Inkscape, my favorite vector graphics editor. The rest of the series will be in the same style, and I’m actually looking forward to producing it! I think that, without realizing it, producing the raster illustrations (using Manga Studio) had become something of a drudge.

- My first ‘kinetic short story’ is very nearly finished. I’ll be working on it again from tomorrow onwards. That’s also been a learning experience, as some of the features I implemented now seem more trouble than they’re worth. However, I’ll say more about that when I upload the story itself.

- Starting next month, I’m going to work on Episode 3. I’ve been putting it off, but once I actually get into it, I know I’ll enjoy it. So I’ve made up my mind. Susan and John are coming “back into play”!

Cheers.
