The point you raised about background in illustrations is an important one ( well at least for me). I find a good background really enhances the piece -makes it come alive if you will. If the two figures were set against a blank or spartan background it would still be very good but the background you used makes it special I’d imagine it would have taken a lot of time to create it from scratch, so in my book you were perfectly entitled. I don’t think the male genitalia takes away from your piece and after all it was in context.<br /> In fact I think Daphne’s work – good as it is – would benefit greatly from a decent background. <br />I agree there is a slight similarity in Prim’s and Prissy art, both are excellent. Some of clothes in Prissy’s stuff are very elaborate and I find the way he dresses the dommes wonderful -authoritarian without descending into cliché. I think you mentioned Christeen’s work in a previous post I find her stuff outstanding and while the work may not be done by pencil or brush it is still marvellous and another example of how the background enriches the piece. <br />Thanks again it was a great piece.<br />Carrie<br /><br />Carrie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356755446225712759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444180381501478270.post-32898772825261912672013-09-16T21:41:52.386-07:002013-09-16T21:41:52.386-07:00Thanks, Carrie.

I've noticed that too many of my drawings have characters standing around in an empty void, which just looks lazy to me. But this was meant to be a quick drawing, and simply coloring the two figures took up enough of my time without drawing and coloring a whole background as well.<br /><br />One thing that certainly sets this apart from my other work is the fact that this is the first time I've drawn male genitalia. That makes it slightly more graphic than what I'd normally do, but I just couldn't figure out a clever way around it.<br /><br />Are you familiar at all with Daphne's work, which can be seen on the Petticoat Punishment Art site? "Daphne" told me a few times how much he prefers feminized males to be recognizable as males. Well, there's no mistaking Cheryl for anything else in this drawing, at any rate.<br /><br />Someone else asked if this pic was influenced by Prim, and my answer is that while I'm sort of familiar with who that is, it wasn't a direct influence, though Prim's art is kinda similar to Prissy's, and that was an artist I had somewhere in the back of my mind as I was doing this piece. I almost thought about making the Prissy connection more blatant by having Christina's dialogue coming from a word balloon in comic sans font.rocketdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574717380856957685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444180381501478270.post-28270094825724622722013-09-16T06:09:44.245-07:002013-09-16T06:09:44.245-07:00Dave thanks for another great illustration.

Don't quite know the best way to express it- maybe a little darker than your usual style. The background detail is perfect( he's like a bird in a gilded cage)and this may sound odd but for me it really enhances the whole piece. <br />Great work<br /><br />Carrie Carrie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356755446225712759noreply@blogger.com
