I hope you will enjoy the rest of the collection! π
I'm not an artist and I'm not going to do industrial espionage, but I'm really curious.
For AI in the "text to image" format, even for the best of them I've seen, there is too good anatomy and environment (I'm not against AI by any means, I use this technology myself to create references for various things or characters, but your detail and anatomy are incredible for this principle of creating art).
For purely hand-drawn art, the style is different (and it would take months to draw something like this by hand, in my opinion), and for work done in 3D (for example in blender), again, the detail and environment are too good, to achieve such graphics in 3D modeling alone, you'll need NASA computers and a whole team of artists.
I can assume (based either on works from a couple of years ago, or on comments) that this is a base (a model with the appropriate pose and details) made in 3D but then greatly refined by AI and various filters, probably combined with "manual" finishing (correcting and finishing details in some drawing program, like Paint SAI).
If so then... wow, this is a wildly interesting approach, and even if not... still wow, because as I wrote above and in other comments months or maybe years ago, the results is truly amazing.

Was quite disappointed by the lack of comments here at first, but seeing that justice was restored over the next few days, now I'm feeling a lot more excited about imagining how Mary would twist her student next and how much Erika would enjoy getting stretched in hot ways with Mary holding her tight... mmm, can't wait to come up with an idea for the next pic! And it's actually your message which inspired me to think about this, so thank you! :D
It's such an interesting challenge in itself, trying to match the original as closely as possible - keeping the same shapes in the picture and using the exact same quotes from the story, while doing it the way I'd do it today.
But most importantly, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's great knowing I'm not alone thinking some pictures deserve another go at it. And it's not like I'm replacing the original image anyway :D
Yay! As soon as I get my platinum vip card with diamonds in the corner, I will immediately order all the images of Yasha and Andrzej, as well as the best painproof art from your archives.
After all, it's not the sin but the guilt that leads to mental illness. Most people eat meat without batting an eye, but the very same people cannot bear the idea of killing cats or domestic rodents on video, they're repulsed by the cruelty.
Similarly, a guy who sleeps with his hot teach might brag about it, whereas King Oedipus goes insane and kills himself, even though his mother was technically a smoking hot MILF.
Freud helped a lot of people, but because he was successful and Jewish, he became ridiculed and turned into some kind of sex guru and eroticist in psychiatry. But hey, it's easy to avoid the subject of sex altogether and just lobotomize them instead - like all other doctors did at the time.
It's not Freud's fault that so many humans are sick fucks who murder and eat animals and fantasize about having sex with their own relatives. In fact he lived a long life to help them overcome their misery. He only treated those who needed help, he never applied his theories to regular healthy randoms - contrary to how all these fucked up myths and anecdotes portray him.
Now, everyone says it's "Freudian" when there's any connection between sex and psychology, like he's responsible for men wanting their own moms or whatever. Freud just pointed out the issues so they can see what's up with them, but nope, they want to blame him instead.
Personally, I disagree with Freud on just one point - I am convinced that lobotomy is all humans deserve in general as a species, especially in 2024. But unlike me, Freud was a kind person and a real doctor.
By the way, didn't mean this to become an essay about Freud, just couldn't figure out how to make it shorter... π

Both of these illustrations are wonderful and hot, but wow, the faces in them are a whole new level.

It's been a while since I tried something new with this character... But lately I've found it fascinating to see what my old characters would look like in more realistic ways. It took some time before I was satisfied with his face and could agree that he looks good and "like himself" - since all the previous pictures of him were drawn or photoshopped from 3D models.
I'm so happy you also noticed the detail like wine! To be honest, I don't drink nearly as much as my characters lately, but I can't help but appreciate how these drinks look in the images of Sarah, Thaddeus or here, quite delicious. Thanks once again for your kind words! :D

Nevertheless, my headcanon won't be budged: Mary is a 23-year-old yoga instructor and Erika is her 18-year-old student who just joined her class recently, this was established from the start and there has never been any story that suggests an age gap of more than 4-5 years between them.
And you do so much good by keeping this site afloat for everyone else! You and Shifty deserve a special VIP pass with a complete archive and instant access to every new post ;D
