Silicone Dream Queen BE and ButtEx Comic has been posted

 I just posted a new Breast Expansion / Butt Expansion comic named Silicone Dream Queen to strongandstacked.com

This is the comic I'd mentioned I was working on in my last blog post .  I used ZBrush to make some slight modifications to the model's tits, and a fair amount of sculpting of her ass

The basic storyline of this comic involves a girl who initially got some fairly modest sized breast and butt implants at the urging of her "manager" who claimed she'd get more amateur acting gigs after doing that

When she finds its actually an impediment to have bigger boobs and buns for mainstream acting, and she realizes she's short on cash, she's forced to start stripping at a local strip club.

It's there that she meets Mike, a big fake boob and buns fanatic who offers to pay off her existing debts and give her some spending money *if* she'll agree to another augmentation.

Mike realizes her skin is soft, supple and pliable enough to hold out the promise of being able to handle GINORMOUS boob and butt implants.

As the story progresses, the power dynamic shifts and the girl becomes more and more confident as she gets bigger and bigger and bigger...

My plan is to continue to use zbrush to try to break out of the limitations of the stock daz/poser models and morphs to create truly epic sized tits, asses, and muscles (depending on the comic I'm working on...)

It'll be a learning process but if I keep at it I think I'll continue to improve.

Working on new Implants Expansion Comic

I'm working on a new breast implants/butt implants expansion comic. I used Zbrush to do some extra enhancement of her ass size.  I'm attaching some pictures, animated gifs, and a flyaround animation to this post so you can see what the main character looks like at her largest size.

During the course of the story in the comic, she starts out much, much smaller than this.  And has a series of breast and butt augmentation sessions that put her on the path to the size you see here.

Hopefully I'll have the comic finished over the next couple of days. It'll show up on strongandstacked when its done

Mai Lin's Muscles Comic - first attempt at using Zbrush

 I just posted a new muscle girl comic to strongandstacked.com today: Mai Lin's Muscles.

The inspiration for this comic really came from a long standing admiration I've had for some of Loenror's work, specifically a drawing he did of his character Muscle Gal Ayumi: http://loenror.deviantart.com/art/musclegal-ayumi-129475507

From the moment I saw that drawing I fantasized of some hulking bodyguard/assassin who for some reason I felt would have the name Mai Lin.  She'd be part Elektra Assassin, part Hulk, all woman.

The Mai Lin's Muscles comic I just wrote came out of that fantasy.  I used this as an opportunity to give Zbrush a try as well.

One thing I've never been thrilled with is how Victoria 4's arms look (she's a stock model from daz3d.com) when you try to make them muscular. They can end up looking like chicken wings.

I spent a week (maybe more than that) struggling with zbrush and sculptris (had one previous post about that).  The learning curve is steep. And there are masters of it that I'm in awe of who are just so, so far beyond what I will probably ever be able to do with it (Tigersan is one example )

But I'm determined to at least get to a level of expertise with it where I can pump up some muscles and boobs on the stock models in a way that will look pretty good.

With the Mai Lin character, I went ahead and cranked up her arms.  It's my first attempt at using Zbrush to alter the mesh of a character, but I feel like it was at least a start.

Mai Lin's arms don't look like chicken wings!

So I was happy about that.

The cost of my foray into learning zbrush is that I have been slow to update my sites this month.

Now that I've gotten some proficiency under my belt I plan to pick up the pace a bit with cranking out content, and will use Zbrush a bit while I'm doing it

Have been trying to learn Zbrush, Sculptris

I decided to spend time this week trying to learn how to make some new breast and muscle morphs.

I spent two days trying to learn zbrush.  Very powerful tool, and after a while it became clear to me that there's just a part of being successful with it that means having artistic skills .  Which I kind of lack.

Then decided to give Sculptris a try.  Easier interface than zbrush.  I'm mainly trying to create some new breast morphs.

I felt it was important to give this a try so that I could move beyond the stock breast and muscle morphs I often use.  But its slow going.  I think I'll have to timebox my learning efforts and definitely get back to cranking out content for the two sites this weekend.  Still was important to try to do this to increase my toolbox so to speak so that I can create some unique looking stuff .

Shy Body Sculptor BE/ButtEx Comic

I updated http://www.strongandstacked.com today with a brand new Breast Expansion / Butt Expansion comic named Shy Body Sculptor.  The basic idea for this story came from an email I got from one of the members of strong and stacked

He wanted to see a comic where there was a couple who fall in love, and which featured a shy girl who gained the power to grow her boobs and butt at will.  I took that basic idea and ran with it .  I get member requests from time to time, and I can't fill all of them. But this one seemed very doable and fun so I went ahead and gave it a try.

While working on it, I kept thinking that it was turning out fairly well, but that if only I had more time to spend I could make it a lot better. I get that feeling a lot. But the competing tension is that I have to update the site in at least a somewhat timely manner.  So I have to do what I can in a time boxed period . It was fun working on this comic though.  Maybe I'll do a sequel to it at some point

What I really want to do now is spend some time learning zbrush though.  There are two reasons I want to do that.  One is that I've always been so dependent on some of the morph packages for breasts that are out there, and I'd like to be able to sculpt my own breast morphs. I think zbrush may be the best way for me to do that

Secondly, I've always been in awe of Tigersan's muscle girls.  Again, I've been at the mercy of prepackaged muscle morphs, and I'd love to be able to do something even a fourth as good as Tigersan's custom muscle morphs. That way I could get some more variety into the look of the muscle girls that I make - they won't all look like they've come from stock muscle packages and so on

So I'll be trying to learn zbrush as I work on some of the next comics. The other thing I'd like to try is to get another renderer to work rather than the stock Daz Studio renderer. I bought one last year but am still fiddling with it to get it to look good. If I can get it figured out, I'll start using it in the stuff I create and hopefully it will look more realistic than ever.

 

Finally updated BEGiantess today

I just posted a new comic to begiantess.com.  It's the first update I've done to the site since October.  I should have been updating the site twice a month.  But it's been really hard to carve out enough time to do that.



I spent some time over the holiday break thinking over my plans for my websites.  And what I've decided is to continue working on them as best I can, with the knowledge that updates will come only at a pace I can sustain.

So there will be a slow but steady drum beat of updates to the sites. I'll try to entertain suggestions/requests as best I can.  I really enjoy working on the sites.  It's just that there are only so many hours in the day, and unfortunately I do have several other demands on my time (including a day job and other responsibilities).

So I'll continue to post updates here on my blog to give an indication of what I'm working on.  I also plan to spend some time trying to update my skills and the quality of material on my sites.  I've bought several items during holiday sales at daz3d.com and renderosity.com that I hope to incorporate into upcoming comics and animations. 

Tools such as different lighting sets and even zbrush software (if I could learn that I'd be able to do some muscle sculpting along the lines of what Tigersan does - of course nowhere near as good as he can do it, but at least I could make some custom muscle morphs that would be new and different from the ones I've used for many years !)

So I'll keep outputting material at a slow but steady pace, with hopefully the occasional update on my deviant art page.  I'll never let there be a lapse like there was from October until now for begiantess.  But I can't really promise to update every single week.  I just can't keep up a pace like that.  So I'll do what I can to keep the two sites going at a steady pace.

Posting Bod Squad FMG Comic Today

Just finished an FMG/muscle girl comic named The Bod Squad .  I'm posting it to strongandstacked.com today.  Took me a while to finish it. As usual, swamped with stuff from my day job and real life.

Just today as I was posting this new comic to strong and stacked I realized that a link was broken on the site for my previous update.  Damn it.  Hadn't realized that until now but it's been fixed.

I'm going out of town for the holidays from December 22 through December 30. So I am going to really try hard to finish an update for begiantess before I go out of town

During the break I'm going to do some soul searching about what I want to do with my websites given that its been increasingly hard to find time to update them

As I said in a previous blog post there are several options there.  Continue on with slow pace of updates, somehow try to pick up the pace, just throw in the towel and stop updating...

My default plan is to soldier on and continue updating the sites, at the current relatively slow pace.  But I'm going to do a lot of thinking about it over the holiday
