Slop 🔞

There's been a little bit of radio silence from me lately... so I'm gonna make up for it by living up to the 18+ rating I gave this profile.

Had to lay low yesterday- just too much going on. After a week of frame-by-frame, I've started playing with integrating AI video generation into the process. The goal would be to be able to pivot between them relatively seamlessly.

Right is AI vid. Left is after an hour of manual touchups.

Booty. This is probably the last loop of this series. I've spent most of the morning doing touchups and experimenting with compositing the loops against more active backgrounds.

We'll see how it goes!

Wasn't quite happy with the last one where she was just kinda grooving, so I thought I'd take another crack at it. Overall improvement, but there's some incongruity in proportions that I need to fix 🤔

There are a couple of frames that could use tweaks- the bikini covering the rightmost breast has a noteworthy and distracting warp. The face also has slightly more jigger than I'd like.

Mild migraine mixed with the stress of *gestures vaguely at everything* meant no sketch yesterday, but we're back today.

I can see a couple of tweaks that would improve it- a bit more smoothness in the leftmost part of the hip swing, and a little more consistency in the outer edge of the right thigh.

Animating the hair would've earned brownie points, but there's value in something to contrast with the movement.

The last loop had a little bit of ambiguity over whether or not the hip was coming forward or just sliding up- so I made this loop all about depth. Gotta ram headfirst into those limitations, after all.

The barometric pressure is rising; must mean a Storm will be coming soon 🤔 We can hope, anyway 🤣

Main three critiques I see off the bat:
1. Belly button jitter.
2. The rightward hip swing could be read as coming towards the viewer instead of just being lifted;
3. The hand that peeks out mid-animation has hair *behind* it, when the hand is supposed to be fully behind the head.

Today's practice. I did the initial animating and inking yesterday and waited until today to do edits and coloring. Makes it slightly easier to notice problems.

Gotta soften that belly button lift in the rightward extreme of the loop 🤔

Less shoulder pain means more frames, smoother animation, and more consistent details. Who'd a thunkit?

Took about 2.5 hours- but there's less shoulder pain today, so I was able to concentrate a smidge better.

I still skipped best practices by doing inks and colors back-to-back, though, so I'm sitting here looking at flaws I would've noticed with fresh eyes. But we're rolling with it.

Bikini bottom also needs a trim. I double checked the width, but slipped on the change in the shape; her bum is turning *away* from the camera, so we shouldn’t be seeing more of the bikini in those frames 😭😭😭 my brain transposed the angles 😭

I've been recovering from a shoulder injury the past couple of days, so I haven't been able to get in as much practice as I'd want. I can already see some things to change- the hair over the ear is too inconsistent.

Still, getting in a little bit of practice today. Took about 2.5 hours.

Before I started focusing on erotica 6 years ago, I'd been kinda poking my head into branching out into animation. I think I've been bitten by that particular bug again.

I've been debating the merits of different kinds of content to make. The last pinup set was in the vein of my older work, and it didn't quite feel like it landed. But what about something with a bit more life to it? 🤔

"‘You could handle my demons’? That’s a bold claim. Mine don’t play nice, and they hate small talk. But if you think you can charm them, be my guest- just make sure to bring something as a blood sacrifice."
Your response?

"You don’t have to believe in ghosts or spooks, but the dark calls to me. It’s raw, honest, unfiltered—way more interesting than daylight. Shadows aren’t scary; they’re just places where secrets get bold. I want to explore."
Your response?

"Sometimes the best things happen when everything falls apart. Messy situations make for the best stories. Chaos can get dicey, but it’s better than sitting still and wondering what could’ve been. That’s where life actually happens."
Your response?

"Being too comfortable feels like living in a cage. Stability is nice, but it’s limiting. Breaking out of it, even for a moment, is the only way to feel free. What makes *you* feel free?"
Your response?

"You’re definitely the ‘responsible friend’ in your group, aren't you? The one with the first-aid kit and itineraries for every trip. That’s fine, but it gets old eventually. Letting go and seeing where the road takes you is where the magic is."
Your response?

This is actually one of the first pics I did that got me working in the current style- but she hadn't actually been posted yet, and that felt like a shame.

Doing an actual pic set with a recurring character is a good start towards making the more fun content.

I spent most of Wednesday and Thursday revamping my workflows. I'll try to post an image of them at some point. Still no narrative to this set, but we'll get there

These pics were finalized using my more manual workflow- BUT! they're based on images that the AI generated based on prompts. A lot of my practice with AI is trying to get better at exerting control- but knowing when to loosen your grip on the wheel is another kind of control.

I'm still fighting that feeling of being consistently behind- but I'm also still sticking to the daily sketches. This one took about two hours from the initial sketches to the 'final' result, with another hour spent trying out a different idea that I ended up abandoning.

It feels like I had some lost time today- going to have to go back over my logs to fill in the gaps. Doesn't feel like it should be this late by the time I finished the sketch. All the same, some more sleepy-time, low-key pinups in honor of snow days.

Another pinup inspired by the cold snap- something a little understated and quiet for the snowed-in vibe. Feeling a bit on the somber side of things today.

Not aiming for overly provocative with this series, but also not trying to jump through hoops to creatively cover things.
