Lost Pictures from 2019 (42 in total)
Added 2019-12-31 07:47:06 +0000 UTCThanks for bearing with me through this year and also through this very quiet month.
It has been a pretty crap year for me, which started with a best friend dying around about the same time as some anonymous person complained to Patreon (about something I never did) and my account got suspended and all peril art removed. This while other artists are able to continue with impunity. "If you don't like it, don't use Patreon" - oh wait - Paypal killed off all alternatives, that's right. Anyway, it is what it is.
I still have my DeviantART account and also my Discord server, and if anyone wants an invite to the latter, please contact me by email at torqual3d at gmail dot com.
Anyhow, it is what it is, and I appreciate all 119 of you that have stuck with me from the heady days of 168 patrons.
I don't want to make things too negative, anyway - I went back through 2019 and found a bunch of fairly nice pics that I either never finished or never uploaded. My computer is littered with unfinished ideas and unseen artwork. Some of these pics are poses from sets where I only picked a single one to publish but several of the others were good enough (or not without merit). Others are different-outfit versions of pics you saw before. Finally there are some things that are little more than concepts or doodles or in the end I got shy about posting them.
Here it all is - let me know what you think. I will add a few notes below where relevant.
1) Hannah / AJ in Love - this was a series that I wanted to make but got shy of posting. It actually felt like I was invading Amanda's privacy. Weird, I know. Maybe I didn't want Ciara to see and get jealous. These are literally the photos from your iCloud account you never wanted on the internet. Kat gets in on the action in the last two pictures but honestly I think that never happened.
2) Amanda Modelling 1-4 - various outfits on display where Amanda looks nice.
3) Amanda Pink 1-4 - made this outfit at the start of the year then never did anything with it. Unused pics from the initial tryout set. I like #3 as she looks rather naughty. Denise makes a guest appearance on #4.
4) Amanda Red 1-5 - this outfit was originally with shorts but I changed it to a skirt. With the boots and red lipstick it manages to be sexy and classy all at once.
5) Amanda YNA 1-3 - I tried hard to make you like the hairband look but you didn't. In the end I settled for the look you see in #3. I think she is a taking a breather from the production of Night Investigation (concludes 2020!)
6) Denise Sporty - made this outfit (or lack of it) for Curia/Denise's character and she looks positively statuesque.
7) Kat Cute 1-3 - unused from Kat's autumn shoot where I ended up settling for the brown short dress. I meant to do more with her, but didn't. Sorry.
8) Rachel New Hair 1-2 - I must have tried half a dozen new hairstyles on Rachel looking to revamp her and I just kept coming back to her original one. I spent about an hour customising this one you see and I will never get any use out of it.
9) Roxette 1-3 - a girl I made in conjunction with Phantom52. You can see a lot more of his version on his dA page. My vision of her is rather different to his. She's a lot of fun. Still unfinished.
10) Sara Short Bob 1-2 - tried to persuade Golavus to go with a shorter 'do on Sara Phillips but he was having none of it. Actually, looking at it again now, I love it.
11) Tyris Close Up, Modelling pics, Yummy Pics - the first one may not seem special but it was 'the one' where I knew I was going to finish her off as a character. Those that follow show some of the process of fiddling with hair and trying out expressions and poses. The only way to get a character right is to do this stuff over and over again. Last two are included as your reward for scrolling all the way through to the end! Enjoy!
