So I've been messing around with the piledriver/mating press anim for Mai over the past few days  trying to improve upon it from previous versions. It's been kind of tough for me to do, mostly because so much of it is obscured, especially with the sprite brian uses. I wanted to do something a bit less static, but a lot of my efforts flopped because of this. It's hard to convey much when most of the sprite isn't visible.


Take this as an example. There's a very small portion of the sprite you can actually see here.  Granted you can see more with transparency on, but there isn't much sense of depth. 

Compare that to say, something like this:

Basically, the impression I got was the more you can see, the better. (art courtesy of Krekk0v btw, or so my detective work says) 

looking at this and how  a lot of other artists draw the position, I tried to take a different approach and use an overlay so parts of the sprite are drawn over brian

Not a massive step up, but I do think it looks better, and doing this gave the added bonus of making the penetration look a bit smoother as the overlain lady bits ensure his member is contained within their walls. It's subtle, but if you look at the gif of Es below, you can see that it looks slightly off center compared to the above.


Anyway, definitely still needs tweaks.  I basically had to guess on the dimensions since I was trying to overlay on a sprite that's so much smaller than it outside of the game, which is why there are some oddities you can see, especially near his feet where parts of her butt suddenly vanish. 

Next step is finally fixing that bug with victim's hair/head poking through brians torso as seen above, as well as additional tweaks to mai's mating press anim.

The Mai early release will be out sometime next week before the 31st, It includes the basic grope, Doggy, and Piledriver atm but I might be able to add at least some variations before then. There will also be a small update for brian you'll need for her to work and the shiki update as well coming out the same day.

Thanks for your support!

very good man, the effort you put in to constantly improving your work does not go unnoticed. mai's upper body/face is definitely emphasizing the "press" part i honestly think the blazblue sprites are a big part of the "issue". you can tell how the distinct art style shapes mai/es/litchi compared to ryougi and cammy or similar HD sprites like miyuki, orie and yuzuriha

This is looking really promising, imo. The effort you put into improving your works is very much appreciated.

Why not use side missionary instead of mating press? I kinda like side missionary more because I get to see more usually and for mating press, maybe instead of having it in its default position, we could have an mating press done at the side view?

I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say to use side missionary instead of mating press, sorry xD use it for what exactly?
