Progress May 13 + Question for Patrons (Patreon)
Content
If you couldn't already tell, this and my last post are supposed to part of a merge sequence, which is normally my raison d'être. But to make those, it's always easier to draw the beginning and the end first and then breakdown the in-betweens from there. However this time around, I didn't want to keep you waiting on seeing the art I'm doing :D
:o but also because I'm not sure what type of merging would look best to draw. And I know it's a subtle thing, but I feel that when visually combining characters together there are different modes or textures that you get to experiment when going through the transformation.
How do they smoosh together, how do they melt together? Do they combine like butter? Chocolate? Milk or Cheese? Is it rubber? Or is it wax? Is it Nickelodeon Gak, or is it Nickelodeon Floam?
Is it a slow and meaty? Or is it quick? Is it a bit of a struggle? Is some elbow-grease required? Or is it smooth and effortless. Should the sequence make you feel like a bottom or make you feel like a top? Even if those things don't fully make their way into the end product, thinking about them nonetheless can really shape the outlook of a picture.
Which is why I'm opening the floor you
Given that you've now seen Part 1 and Part 3, what do you think the merger during part 2, should look like?
Some supplemental info:
This is the "Fusion Beast Brighambell". Formed from the merger of one "Brigham the Brute" and "Bell the Bard"
They are characters in a fictional fantasy world, based off of an retro 8-bit RPG like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy.
