The Party

Poor Lucky Gerald

This is a 'motion comic' which grew out of a single picture that's going to feature in another comic ('The Party') that I'm working on. Since the artwork was originally only intended to feature as a kind of photo commented on by characters in 'The Party', it's a bit more limited (and perhaps more 'rough and ready') than some of my other stuff. It's also mainly just explanation, but hopefully embodies an amusing idea.

Anyway, now it's out of the way (I haven't had much time to work on it, so it seems to have been dragging on for ages), I can get on with 'The Party', which will include a fully animated section.

Regards.

EDIT: Judging from the feedback, this post seems to have been a disappointment to some people, so I thought a bit of clarification would be a good idea. ‘Poor Lucky Gerald’ was actually intended as a kind of footnote to ‘The Party’, which is the main (motion comic) project that I’m working on at the moment. ‘The Party’ is quite erotic (or at least explicit) in content, but ‘Poor Lucky Gerald’ (I’ll call it PLG) isn’t (visually) explicit at all.

PLG started off as a single picture, and grew into a kind of monologue giving some information about ‘adjustees’ and a detailed explanation of a chastity game (plus a small twist at the end). My idea was to upload PLG first, and then when people finally saw Gerald’s brief appearance in ‘The Party’ it would strike a chord along the lines of, “Yeah, I know all about that guy!”

However, partly because it was my first post in some time, I think people were expecting PLG to be something bigger (in terms of importance) than what was intended. So, to save anyone else from being disappointed, a couple warnings:

1) ‘Poor Lucky Gerald’ is ‘all talk’ and ‘no action’! It’s just intended as a kind of ‘aside’ to a related story.

And more importantly

2) This story contains explicit mathematical formulas, and is not suitable for viewers of a non-arithmetic disposition! J

A One-Off Pic

I mentioned in a previous post that I’ve generated a lot of half-finished work over the past few months. This picture is a bit of an oddity in that it was meant to be part of a bigger project, but I decided I didn’t really like the scenario, so it just got left floating in isolation. Anyway, I thought it would be a shame not to use the artwork at all, so I’ve turned it into a one-off ‘skit’.

Still Around...

This is just a really quick post to let people know that I'm still around. Lots of boring real world stuff (mainly work and travel) have been taking most of my attention. However, the Christmas/New Year hols should give me the time to make a proper post.

P.S. A special greeting to SusanHotwife! You look truly fantastic in that costume!! I'll send you a PM over the holiday period.

Regards.

Tickling

First, sorry for my silence over the past few weeks.

As far as the past week is concerned (or, more specifically, the time since Friday November 6), the reason for that silence does at least give me something to write about. Here goes...

In a way, browsing porn on the internet is like mining for gold. You may find one or two nuggets here and there every time you do it, but occasionally you hit a “rich seam” of material that really pushes your buttons and exists in reasonable quantity (e.g. a website, model, author or artist that you were previously unaware of).

Then again (and this is something that’s only happened to me once before, when I came across a “cuckold story” site more than ten years ago), you may encounter a “game changer” that really gets under your skin and affects your fantasies for life.

Well, whether what I encountered on the above Friday was a “game changer” or just a “rich seam”, it’s certainly taken full occupation of my fantasies over the past week.

As I suppose is true of most people, I have varying degrees of interest in a range of sexual subjects and fantasies. In my case, these have always centered on BDSM. So, among many other topics, I’ve had an interest in the BDSM potential of tickling for some time. In my case, I think it’s because the combination of bondage and tickling makes punishment a possibility without physical brutality or damage to the body of the victim. This, combined with the unique, maddening, “unendurable” sensations that tickling produces, gives the practice a kind of refinement and delicacy that’s largely absent from other forms of corporal punishment. Anyway, whatever the reason, I have (what I assumed was) a mild interest in “bondage tickling”.

Therefore, over the years, I’ve looked on the internet a number of times for related material, but what I found was usually disappointing. There’s definitely a lot of tickling material around, but only a very small proportion of it is at all satisfying. A lot of the artwork is very “cute cartoony” (in the Smurf/My Little Pony/Charlie Brown etc kind of sense), and the amount of more “serious” art emphasizing the punishment and suffering angle seems very small (at least, I haven’t been able to find very much). Photos and videos were also disappointing. The “bondage” was almost always makeshift and often looked ineffective. In many cases, the emphasis was on all of those involved “having fun”, the atmosphere was lighthearted, and tickling was treated as a humorous subject.

However, at least as far as videos are concerned, the situation seems to have changed since the last time I looked. On said Friday, I found a tickling video on one of those “porn YouTube” sites, and that soon led me to the webpage of the people who had made it. I guess that my requirements, when I think about them and list them out, are more or less as follows:

(1) The bondage device is purpose built, clean, stylish and (most important) inescapable. The victim is completely unable to get free, and can’t avoid or mitigate what’s being done to them in any way.

(2) The tickler is impassive, methodical and merciless. She isn’t just having “a bit of fun” with the person being tickled, she’s torturing them.

(3) The person being tickled is obviously having a hard time. Of course, if we’re talking about an actual video (rather than fantasy), this clearly has to be within safe, sane and consensual limits.

The videos on the website in question (or at least some of them) fulfilled all of those requirements, and I found them an enormous turn on, to an extent that surprised me enormously. Consequently, “tickle torture” has taken full occupation of my fantasies over the past week. How largely and how permanently it will figure in my future personal “sexual landscape” is not clear as yet. Whatever happens, whether this new found interest exhausts itself like a “fad” or continues long term, the experience has taught me that there’s still stuff I don’t know about my own sexual feelings.

I would be happy to hear from anyone who has been surprised by the strength of their response to a particular sexual fantasy or scenario. I’d also like to point out that I’m not about to abandon LLP! From today, after a week off (please see the above!) I’m continuing work on my current LLP project.

Incidentally, if you’re interested, you’ll find the site in question by googling on “tickle abuse”. A large number of the videos have been uploaded to free porn video sites.

Cheers.

Update (or “I never realized you could do that with your breasts!!!”)

First, thank you for your messages of support, they really are appreciated. Since my last post, I’ve been working on the same ‘motion comic’ (which this time will be in the form of a movie file). In particular, I’ve been doing the fully animated ‘naughty’ section that comes near the end of the story. Originally, I intended this to be quite limited, but when I’d finished setting up the female character I noticed that I could use her to perform certain intimate ‘actions’ that I hadn’t expected. Therefore, I’ve expanded that section and will add some extra dialog to it.

As a diversion, I’ve also been working on what I could call my ‘workflow’ project. Although this won’t apply to the comic I’m doing now, I intend to use it for the one after that. I’m hoping it will significantly enhance the speed with which I can produce my motion comics. It should allow me to create a baseline version of the whole comic with relative ease, after which I can make enhancements to the bits which are most important or have most impact. I’ll give more details in a future post.

Regards.

Meandering...

It’s been longer since my last post than I intended, so here’s an update regarding what I’ve been working on over the past few weeks.

After I finished the ‘Black Snapper’ video, I wanted to do a quick illustration style project before carrying on with Episode 3. However, I fell into a pattern of starting something that I thought I could do quickly, and then realizing that it was expanding into something that would take rather longer. At that point, I’d have another idea, and start work on that new idea in the belief it would take less time. After a number of repetitions of that process, I now have lots of ideas, and a number of half finished projects!

I’ve been making attempts to use a simpler style for the less important illustrations and reserve more detail for the ‘punch line’. However, that hasn’t been very successful because all of my illustrations tend to ‘gravitate’ towards more detail as they progress (I’m making that happen of course, but it kind of feels like it’s happening of its own accord).

Anyway, I’ve been trying hard to develop some means of producing ‘motion comics’ quicker and with less effort than they’ve required so far. That’s really become a necessity for me, because the rate at which new ideas occur to me hugely outweighs the speed at which I can produce finished stories.

After various attempts, I think I’ve hit on a technique that might improve the situation quite a bit. However, I won’t explain it here. I’ll leave that until I’ve actually used it to produce something I can show you.

With regard to my next upload, I’ve finally settled on a single story and have produced the majority of the artwork for it (all of which is in the same style as previous comics). It should be ready within the next two weeks.

In any case, I’ve decided to post some information on progress etc every week. That way, at least people won’t feel left in the dark.

Finally, thank you for all your comments and messages. I read them all with great interest, even though I haven’t replied to any individually for a while. One or two people have suggested working in collaboration. It’s great to hear that some of you feel interested enough in my stuff to propose working together, but at present I feel totally snowed under just with my own ideas! However, please feel free to make suggestions or comments. Hearing from people is what makes it all worthwhile.

Regards.
