Nice pic, especially like how all the characters have different expressions which each add to the story in their own ways.

This is definitely one of your best on DA. I do agree that a companion piece or sequel to this would be great!

Thank you. I actually drew this with the notion that it would make a good book cover. Though I don't have any immediate plans to do one, a sequel is not out of the question.

Okay, this is pretty good. Better than good. This is actually an amazing piece ... your techniques and talents are at their peak with this little beauty, my friend. Simply ... marvelous!
First off, it has to be addressed ... I like the flower print dress. It is the most effeminate if not the most feminine. In my little world the idea is to take our young heroes and put them in the most girlish outfits possible without turning them into girls, but rather to bring out their inner sissy. Your little fellow here is well on his way. He's in awe, in fear, in doubt and in ecstasy. His expression is simply charming.
Yes, you do some wonderful illustrations of beautiful women, but many of them are to me too beautiful, too similar and sometimes have the typical vacuous "who me?" expressions seen in so many other illustrations and even photographs. Lately, however, you've given your exquisite ladies character and life and humor and so many little things that make them interesting in ways other than just their peerless beauty. In this work your ladies are no just gorgeous, but each is an individual; one is gleeful and mischievous, one is daring and insistent, and yet another is meticulous, admiring and no-nonsense. At least that's how I perceive them. And who knows what the other five women are like -- each hand applying make up obviously belongs to an individual woman, each with an agenda and emotion and attitude that no doubt complicates our young hero's future.
Alsoooo ... you use of color and texture and shading and light ... makes this even more powerful. I am in awe of what you've done with these things and more. Simply in awe.
I also love how you've not made your hero -- Let's call him Young David, just for fun -- into a girl, but obviously a boy being teased and tantalized and led toward an uncertain fate. Young David's age appropriate brassiere, for example, is simply adorable, and the more mature glam job on his face is no doubt shocking and disorienting to him. I know it was when I played with make up back in my own youth.
Oh, how this begs to be in a story of some sort ... though which kind I cannot imagine. Perhaps his mother caught him experimenting with her things decided to "teach him a lesson"; let's see ... oh, I know! She sells Avon or Mary Kaye or whatever and so she drafts her sneaky little son into being her guinea pig during one of her demonstration parties.
"See ladies? These products are so wonderful, look what they did to my sweet little David!"
"MOM! Please ...everybody's looking at me!"
"Keep smiling, sweetie. That means they like what they see and that means we're going to make lots of money tonight!"
The reluctant volunteer is trapped into helping his mother with all of her parties and he has to give up his after school activities, she keeps him so busy. Or better yet, he's something of a bookworm and doesn't take part in after school activities, so Mom uses this as an excuse to keep him busy so he doesn't get into any mischief. Even better, he has to help out because he got caught in some sort of mischief and has to work off the damages by helping his mother sell lipstick! Oh, I love that one! Let's see ... a shy, bookish lad, a middle schooler, gets caught ... what? Shooting a model rocket in his backyard and busting a neighbor's window? Or maybe causing a small fire? And now he has to earn money to pay the neighbor lady to rebuild her garden shed? Hmmm ... that might work. And maybe when the neighbor lady attends one of Mom's make up sales parties and sees Young David wearing lipstick and eyeliner and a pretty flower print dress, she offers him a job cleaning her house in order to earn more money. And, of course, that leads to David wearing an apron and perhaps a cute little maid's uniform ... and then waiting on his new employer hand and foot and even serving drinks and snacks during the weekly card games she holds with her lady friends. He's not to look like a boy, however, oh no ... never that! He is presented just as he is, a cute, shy lad in prissy, somewhat silly and sissy outfits ... all for the entertainment of his beautiful, mischievous and perhaps even cruel superiors.
Or maybe not. It's just a thought.
See what your work does to me? Oh boy, I got so many other projects going on now ... I don't know ... this would be a fun one, wouldn't you think?
Oh yeah ... good job. I got to get back to my writing ...

Geez, that’s a lot to respond to.
First off, thanks; I think this is some of my best work.
It might be fun to extrapolate a narrative of some sort based on this, though the premise of a guy forced to act as a maid for a neighbor lady in order to work off a debt over damaged property is obviously not exactly new. Besides, it doesn’t seem to really have anything to do with this drawing. However, I had actually been thinking of maybe doing a short comic along those lines very recently, but can’t think of a way to make it interesting enough to be worth the effort. Of course, the devil is in the details. I've seen plenty of stuff with premises that seem cliché on the surface, but if the execution is good and/or unique enough, then it doesn't really matter. I like the idea of the damage being caused by a model rocket anyway; that's a good enough idea to file away for potential future use. I already did a short comic that begins with a kid hitting a ball into a neighbor’s yard and don’t like to repeat myself.
Becoming a reluctant model for Mary Kay products or whatever at least seems like it fits more with this image, though I personally wouldn’t make it a punishment for experimenting with mom’s stuff. As a rule, I’m automatically a little biased against stories in which the protagonist starts off (at least consciously) already having some kind of fetish (which is part of the reason I wasn’t too keen on your “Be Careful What You Ask For” story in the beginning). I guess when it comes to forced feminization fiction or any kind of femdom erotica, I just tend to prefer main characters who wouldn’t have even seriously fantasized about the stuff that ends up happening to them, be it trying on makeup or what-have-you.
It’s neat that my work seems to spark your own creative energies… now, if only there were some way to direct said energies towards finishing the stories you’ve already started. I’m one to talk, though; I can’t seem to focus on any one idea long enough to do anything worthwhile.

Haha! As Jerry said to Tom oh so many years ago, "Touché, Pussycat!"
Okay, nix the conniving neighbor blackmailing the innocent young boy into being her maid trope (though I think there's nothing wrong with the classis ). And I get you on taking a curious spirit and further immersing him into the feminine arts. I totally agree that he should be completely uninterested in feminine things. I'm pleased you like the idea of him being coerced into helping his mom with her cosmetic business. Your art piece really supports that story -- in my mind, at least. Mom could be the blond woman standing over him, admiring her handiwork and seeing the potential for his future as her "assistant." The two ladies on either side could be her sisters (his aunts) or close friends (his "aunts") or a combination of the two ideas. The other hands are enthusiastic customers eager to practice their cosmetic skills and Mom's products on the reluctant "model." That would account for the intense make up application on Young David's face.
On second thought, maybe Mom is the woman on the left, the one smiling with such glee. She seems much happier than the other two. The blond lady in the center is an executive from the company, who's amazed at David's transformation and sees great things in his (most importantly, her) future. The lady on the right is Mom's sister, a mischievous auntie who pushes David into his new role and adds to his misery.
Or, as I said before, maybe not. There are so many ways to go with this, it's so well conceived and executed. Truly one of your masterpieces.
If you want to go further with this, let me know. I'd love to see what you produce. And if you want to use any of my ideas, past, present or future, go for it.
Of course, I'd love to see your young model in full femme, dress, shoes, purse, perhaps modelling for the ladies or shopping with his mother. No wigs, please! The image of a girl is, well, just another image of a girl, no matter how well done it is. But the image of a boy ... a cute, pouting sissified youth in a sweet dress and an embarrassing situation ... executed with this kind of quality ... an, that is just wonderful!
Believe it or not, I'm actually working on finishing up several of my previous stories. And, of course, I have a new one in the works as well. Before I start on any new projects I HAVE to finish the Christmas and Halloween stories. Unless I get distracted again, of course.
Again, thanks for the inspiring art and conversation. I'm always glad to chat. Keep up the great work!

I'm gonna say that "Touché, Pussycat" sounds more like something Tuffy would have said, since, as I'm sure you know, Jerry wasn't known for saying much of anything.
Anyway, yeah, thanks for the ideas; this definitely might possibly be something worth pursuing in the future.

What I find interesting is there are at least eight women working on him at once. No one looks grim. This is surely no punishment situation. I like the idea of the Avon party. All the women are 'of a certain age.' They begin discussing how the makeup would work on a younger girl, but of course, the only one in the house is the hostess's 13 year old son, who's barricaded himself in his room, playing video games during his mom's makeup party. "David, sweetie, would you come out here a moment? We need a hand.' Before he knows what's happening, a half dozen beautiful women in their thirties are giving him a sissy makeover. He's too stunned to resist and isn't sure how he feels about all this. He's humiliated when all the women coo over what a darling girl he makes, what a cutie, what a heartbreaker 'she'll be.' They insist on taking their new junior member out to dinner and shopping. David's mother steps in and says that enough is enough...unless David wants to be a sport and give it a try. And David responds....

Yah, the colouring work on this is top drawer, and so are the details--particularly the expressions. You have a real knack for drawing super sexy women! It's a nice one-off work that gives an insight into the level of technical quality you're capable of when time allows.
