Oh, my lord. Something about her expression just gets to me. She looks breath taking! I can't help but wonder what she's thinking about.

It´s the additional two highlights in her eyes. That really makes a difference. I will have her printed as a book in march and I can´t wait to see her impact on me then.

I like it, don't get me wrong, but there's something about it that doesn't scream "cover" to me. Admit it, you just like the feet.

*lol*

That´s true - actually the feet are a completely different drawing

Fur + Bikini = Furkini!
That's what it looks like Kyoko is wearing on this cover page.
Also, FTW is a shorthand abbreviation; it means, "For The Win!"

I was a bit confused, because of the FTW (WTF) - I thought there´s a connection to the furkini wordwise

Thank you for the explanation

You're very welcome.
Trust me when I tell you this, I prefer to shorthand "for the win" because there are some really good icons for "what the fuck."

Well, that's our beloved Kyoko in all her glorious sexiness, and in "The Pose" aka my (and a whole lot of foot fetishists') favourite pose; and it's well done and extremely sexy. So it's definitely a winner and I just *love* this illustration. Hell, if you ask *me*, there would be a whole "Kyoko in The Pose" section.

With all that being said, I'm not sure it makes a good cover for the manga specifically, because your style is much closer to that of "Letters to Kyoko" here and also the manga doesn't get quite that sexy-oriented until at least page 14 (additionally, Kyoko doesn't get to look like this until page 17). It really depends on where the manga is going from here on out, but if it stays in a direction similar to the first dozen pages, a cover like this might lead some readers to a bit of a disappointment.

NekoToTora In reply to DvDivXXX [2011-02-05 16:30:16 +0000 UTC]

Actually I was thinking of you when doing THE pose and I used one of your pics as foot-ref; had to alter it a bit, of course, to match it with Kyoko´s "usual" feet. Also you might like the pic that I will post today a little later on... (hint hint...) - I will start colour in a minute.

The Manga - don´t worry, no disappointment. Kyoko and the energy-being marooned on the S3 planetoid will lead to the food-question, so the mushrooms are about to come (haha). And on the contrairy to the concept-artwork, her bodyhair (boobs and lap) will have been singed; so no need to shave; she will be naked with no clothing available, which leads to more issues with the energy-beeing who might be made of light but was originally a male human being in his late twenties / early thirties - and still has the feelings and urges of a male human being of that age...
I am not sure, if I will have tail-fun involved yet. Definitely more background on the energy-being, because I will blow the story up and make it intellectually deeper (I am working on this story for about four years now and I can turn it into an epic, if I want. This will depend on the success of the promo I will start in summer). That way I will get away with the pure and blunt porn-bits
But I might publish the hardcore only online, leaving the print-version basically clean (still nudity, but no hardcore). We will see...

Thank you taking the time to do some braining - It´s good, if I can reflect my plans when I am faced with arguments like yours. You are a great help

Awesome! I'm flattered, honored and extremely pleased all at once!

Well, with a pitch like this, my interest in the manga is seriously increasing, as well as that of many potential readers, I'm sure!

You're very welcome as always, and I'm thankful to you for doing all this amazing stuff! I wish I had more to post and give you constructive feedback more often. You certainly deserve it, as well as general support of course! :thumbs:

Oh, and of course I will completely redraw the first chapter, so that the backgrounds are all in copics aswell - but this will be for the printversion

Thank you for your great support. You really know how to encourage me

True, that.

We're just playing a variation on the classic "thank *you*/no, thank *you*" paradox, here.

Thank you. I thought about doing a picture of Kyoko laying on a lawn in the sun watching a butterfly - but I screwed up the pupils - so I changed it and turned it into the cover that I still need for the Manga.

Nice one, Sammy:

"To screw the pupils": die Schüler bumsen

"To screw UP the pupils": die Schüler verderben oder die Pupillen verreissen. Ich meinte Letzteres
