The playing card in the picture below is
something I designed for a CG animated ‘LLP Infomercial’ advertising a specific
LLP product for ladies. Although it’s not explained in the infomercial itself,
I thought of a little back story for the card, which is given below.
The infomercial is in turn an offshoot that
came about through working on the next ‘John and Susan’ episode, and it arose because
I designed a mechanism within the CG program (Blender) for counting up credits
in accordance with the actual rules explained in Episode 2.
As you can see, I keep getting diverted by
different ideas! Anyway, at least the diversions lead to me producing
something. The ‘Infomercial’ should be finished in the next week or two. It
doesn’t have any character animation, but I think it includes a fun idea.
That is again one cool idea!

I'm actually really pleased with this illustration, and it's made me rethink my approach to doing comics/stories. Rather than producing pages of illustrations just for the purpose of telling the story in comic form, I now think it's better to make it more text based, and have a small number of higher quality illustrations aimed at giving the maximum impact - delivering the ‘punch line’ so to speak. My stories usually center around a single isolated idea anyway, and the 'comic' (such as it is) is really only a vehicle that leads up to expressing that idea. So a text explanation building up to a quality (hopefully 'fap-worthy'!) illustration giving the 'erotic punch line' would actually be a lot more satisfying.
DeleteAnother option, which I hope to investigate shortly, is a 'motion comic', which adds motion and simple animation to the comic panels. That might actually allow me to reuse illustrations a lot more, and makes it easier to organize speech bubbles etc. Best of all, motion offers the possibility of increased impact and allows the punch line illustration to be effectively concealed until the right moment. It also makes sound effects possible!
After I finish the 'infomercial', I think my next mini-project will be a motion comic. I have a skit in mind. It's about a young wife who becomes totally addicted to the 'MSMS'!
Regards.
Lamivex,
DeleteThere are many captioned image blogs out there. (I have one!) I think what makes your produce so special is the motion. I know more effort has to go into these, but I think they will have a longer life. - Especially if you eventually collect them together into webisodes.
The creative mind will often jumps about from moment to moment. This is a good thing, but it is also good to finish what you start. You've teased your audience with a number of projects in the pipeline. It would be great to present them all. I thought at the beginning that you would be under pressure to produce quickly. Don't let this pressure make you take so many short cuts that the impact of episode 1 and 2 is diluted to captioned images. Keep up the good work. I think it well worth the wait.

Wise words. I used to be a terrible non-finisher-of-what-I-started, although I've improved somewhat in recent years (and having this blog is also helping to a certain extent). Anyway, I know I need to limit the diversions so that the video episodes don't get sidelined. I'm going to try consciously splitting my time between 'large' and 'small' projects, limiting myself to one each at a time.
DeleteP.S. I'm just off to check out your blog.
Lamivex,
DeleteI used to have two blogs. The one with a cuckold theme was deleted, and then the name was hijacked by someone else. Sadly, this has a multitude of ads, and is clearly commercial, although some of my captioned images still survive on it. I will get around to creating a new one, but too much real life at the moment!
I do occassionally post some cuck captioned images at CuckoldPlace.com. The last project was adding a couple of images to a Kaos Comic, Fantasy X. Not as good as your art, though.
Love the Cuckahol

Hi, J here. I am a big fan of the hotwife thing. What can I say about your creations. WOW. Just came across them on YouTube. The idea of using John lust for his hotwife as the very credits she needs to use for the studs is, well, inspired !!!!. I will be honest, I am not at all a fan of sissyfication and I hope John keeps his balls but this is your fantasy, so your rules. I have been reading your blog and the comments and I think that the 2g used in episode 1 is plenty good enough if it frees up time for more complex storylines. I really liked the look of it too, actually I think it works better even as a visual than episode 2. What kind of timeframe is there for the new episodes. I can barely wait. Could you please explain in the meantime, what effect the drink 'cuckahol' has just to bide me over :). Thank you for all your creativity and work. J
ReplyDeleteThank you for your very kind and interesting comments!
DeleteIt’s particularly interesting to see that you liked the 2D graphics in my episode 1. As I said in a previous comment, I like producing both 2D and ‘3D’ graphics in different ways, but I really believe that 2D illustrations are generally more expressive, and are often more erotic.
Another interesting topic that you raise is the castration angle. First, let me say that I’m not into sissification either, so I don’t anticipate it playing any part in LLP. In the context of my own cuckold fantasies, castration represents the ultimate humiliation / defeat / sacrifice / masochistic thrill. The guy in the fantasy retains his masculine identity, but has to cope with the knowledge that he’s no longer a ‘real man’. I’ve noticed that there is a subgroup of cuckold fantasies on the Net that include this castration element, the emphasis being on the psychological aspect rather than the physical act of removing the genitals. If you do an image search on ‘castration’ on the Web, you’ll get a large array of gory photos and illustrations that would make a lot of people feel ill. While there are (no doubt) some people for whom this is a turn-on, I personally am not into blood-and-gore at all.
However, for people into psychologically-oriented castration fantasies, this poses a problem, i.e. they like the psychological aspects/significance/consequences of castration, but not the violent/bloody nature of the act of castration itself. In my own fantasies (and in the LLP scenario), I solve that problem through the ‘chastiring’ mechanism. The idea is that the device is locked around (and even bonded into) the genitals, so that castration (if it occurs) consists solely of the ring separating (or being cut) into its two halves. There is no blood, no pain, and no wounded flesh, since the separated surfaces of the ring reveal only smooth clean metal. Afterwards, the guy is left with a neat metallic button (which formed one half of the chastiring) where hits nuts used to be. I’ll elaborate on the details in a future post, but (for me at least) the important point is that it allows castration to be depicted explicitly, without being gory or too violent. It reduces (or elevates) the process into a kind of ‘cartoon castration’ (drawing an analogy with ‘cartoon violence’) that doesn’t involve the sight of blood. I also introduce some other technological factors designed to partially compensate the guy for the loss of his family jewels.
Nevertheless, (even in a sanitized form) castration fantasies are not for everyone, and since the castration aspect forms a largely independent stream within the LLP scenario, I’m thinking of separating it out into another blog when the time comes.
Wow! this has turned into a long reply! On a separate subject, as you were kind enough to ask about ‘cuckahol’, I’ll do a small post explaining it, probably in the next few days.
Regards.
I cant wait to see the mechanism for how the credits are earned and spent. particularly the credit millionaire aspect. Wondering how long the credits will last.....I imagine that very quickly the credits will get spent needing more and more credits. very exciting!
ReplyDeleteI have some ideas for other aspects of the LLP if you'd like to see them lamivex?

I think these new angles are so inventive. I noticed in episode 1 that Susan was referred to first by Laura5 and got me thinking that john might be lowercase in any legal documentation at the drop in center in the real world. implied submission? I also had a few ideas regarding an addition to the collar. It could be triggered during Susans realisation that john has been viewing her on the infamous channel 1. Voice activation used as proof it was him.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be cool if Susan finds out john is able to watch her at some point, and requests another chat with Mendacia. Mendacia could suggest a collar mk2 attachment which has a speak function so john can talk to Susan during any visits she might make to the massage sauna, or during a channel 1 encounter. The pretext is that john can "tap out" or make requests. However it costs many credits and is permanent until Susan issues a codeword (which she could "accidentally" forget). The devious thing about it is, that it is not a communicator at all, its actually a gag, and the only sound that comes out of it when activated is a pitiful squeak, similar to a dogs squeezy chew toy. it could be linked inversely to his arousal level in that the more aroused he gets the less it communicates and squeaks more and more. hilarious for Susan I reckon. Anyway, sorry its a bit of a sidetrack lamivex but it's been on my mind to suggest it. I cant help thinking that a lot of the tension in the LLP world is the build up and anticipation not only the end result. I think the more back story and different scenarios that you can do, the more impact it all has. What I mean to say is, I really am enjoying all the recent work you're putting in and am looking forward to seeing all the next stages.

Thank you for your comments.
DeleteI think that's a good point you make about build up and anticipation being a big part of the fantasy. Of course, in any kind of erotic experience, anticipation considerably adds to the excitement, but maybe it's particularly true of cuckold fantasies.
In straight sex or BDSM etc, the erotic element is often more direct or visual in nature, but cuckolding centers around the relationship between the players, which is something invisible and therefore largely expressed in words. That's probably why 'cuckold captions' are so popular. I think cuckolding is highly social in nature. It uses (and subverts) the social rules associated with marriage (or some similar exclusive relationship), and would be meaningless if the concept of marriage and its associated customs weren't so deeply ingrained in our shared social consciousness.
Anyway, I'd better stop there because I'm starting to sound like a sociology student (no offense intended to any sociology students who may be reading this!).
Thanks for your interest and please stay tuned!
