August Pinup - fem Mike HD (Patreon)
Content
Mike, from webcomic TwoKinds! A kind-of- bg character that got poofed into a girl becoming a fan favourite. As with most of my pinups, I tried a few new things with this image. The style of inking in a way, colours, depth... most of which are probably not that perceptible, but maybe they are, idk. Less concerned with light source lighting, more concerned with just overall colour and appeal, shapes of shadows, kept details to specific areas and points... anyhow! I think I like it? I don't know actually. I mean, I don't -hate- it, but it was a learning experience. Didn't shade/colour the way I usually do, but kept the amount of time and effort invested. It was still fun! Colours were fun, facial bits, reflection a bit tedium.

I also didn't really go crazy on alt with this one; partly because I'm starting to realize not every image needs a -ton- of little changes, but also it's a very situational picture at its core, and wouldn't lend itself to too much on that front, IMO. Partly because I want/have to do other things.
I agree with some comments that I'd rather spend more time on the base image, or even other images, than some alt stuff sometimes. Depends on the picture. But I'd like to hear more about that from you all, if you'd prefer less alts and more 'in the moment' imagery than alt toggles. I'll always at least try and do SFW/NSFW when possible.
