Space Explorer Art (Patreon)

This will be a long post since I missed last weekend and have a lot to cover.

I broke out the pencils and pens again and drew on real paper... possibly for the first time this year! First time on my new computer anyways, since I had to install the scanner. All excited, I downloaded the latest version of GIMP 2.10 and then... spent 3 days trying to fix the weird settings and get the brushes to actually do what they're supposed to... Reading tutorials and help pages and even stackOverflow on how to make GIMP actually work like it used to... and failed. Damn, so this is what getting old means. Can't use any new tools? Pathetic! So, like the crotchety senile curmudgeon I am, I deleted GIMP 2.10 and searched www.obsoleteVersionsForGeezers.com and downloaded GIMP 2.8 instead. Aaah, the familiarity of the past enveloped me like my knitted shawl over my shoulders, as I serenely watch the sunset in my rocking chair- Get off my lawn, you damn kids!

So anyways, as I usually do, I found some nice poses online and redrew them myself, ink, scan, and then used bézier-curves in GIMP to smooth the lines. Five layers are needed (to start anyways) for every movable body part: Lines, Shade, Shine, Darkest Skin Color and Lightest Skin Color. This eliminates huge amounts of wasted time later trying to match new art additions to in-game art, by trial-and-error, since the skin colors are solid colors on a separate layer. If I figure out how to use math to modify color I can even save more work and memory by having the computer change the skin color. Perhaps, even allow players to control it. We'll see how that goes, later.

Here's a mash-up of the 4 poses. Keep in mind the faces are not final (just for shading location) and breasts of multiple sizes will be added later:

I should include a quick rundown of how I intend to add the crew-mates. Originally they will be female but of course I'll eventually add futa and full-male versions when I have time. I want to add personality types as well. From shy-virgin to town-bicycle, which perhaps the player can choose when hiring? Once in flight, you can visit Navigation and talk to the crewmate. Options will appear based on personality, missions completed, items owned... So, if you found the 'slingbang' item you can choose to slap her ass, which will result in positive response from slut but negative from prude. Too many negatives could make her quit. So why choose prude? They are better at jobs. The more slutty a crewmate becomes the more sex-acts they do but also the worse they get at their job to the point of causing ship malfunctions or something. I think this is a great idea but... I have noticed over the years that some of my ideas are really not fun in actual gameplay, so this might never materialize... Fun side note. If you ever wonder where my nickname was derived:

So, why the poll? Aha! No reason, really. I just think polls are fun now so am asking you which pose do you think I should add to the game first! My plan initially was to finish the Navigator pose first, because you kinda need to navigator to fly any spaceship... but I now realize I could potentially make any pose be any crew position... Anyways, I love that bending-over-back-view pose in general, as you know, if you've played any of my games. It's also the easiest to remove clothing from. 

However, I will see what others think before making my final decision. When choosing a pose, consider the angles and possible entry positions.

1. Oral. Vag. Anal. Cum on Face, Back, Ass, Legs
2. Hand. Oral. Vag and Anal partially visible. Cum on Face, Breasts Bum, Legs
3. Oral. TitJob. Vag and Anal not visible. Cum on Face Breasts
4. Oral. Tit and Vag partially visible. Anal not visible. Cum Anywhere!

(ps: Each pose will also have different abilities for penis options too. For example pose 4 would have the best view and could include cum-on-self. Also, pose 4 would likely be the only one where the crewmate would be on top and 'in control')
