Tease

This one was a LONG time coming. Its the miqo'te from "Tempest" and "Bite" back in 2020, and after doing those 2 we were talking about a 3rd commission but it just never happened for reasons, until now. The idea remained the same all this time though and Im glad I had the time to think about how to do it because Im very happy with the result.

Unlike with the previous 2 pics we wanted to give her a bit of a tan, seeing as how she is on a beach so it was fitting, plus we both like this skin tone a lot and it also lets me do a hint of tanlines where the bikini would be. On that note I thought of having the bikini top lying around but then felt it would be hard to do without it being distracting so lets just say she left it on the other side of the towel.

Another thing we both love that was a key part of the idea was the bush being visible, and thus me picking this pose where she is pushing her bikini bottom back, so you get a nice look at it.

Also, aside from the skin tone one other change I made was the hair. This is actually more accurate to her in game model (black hair with yellow highlights), though I guess I made it more of a dark brown? Anyway I thought this looked great and made for a great combo with her skin color.

Lastly, as I always say with beach scenes my usual problem is the fact there is no shadow and I cant do anything interesting with the lighting which then leads to stuff looking really flat and boring, so I solved this by placing her in a more secluded area, underneath some palmtrees and such. This way you get the best of both, that look of a tropical beach with the intimate, closed feeling of an indoors scene.
