Wanted to see if I could get some commissions done, and decided to start with a Kei bust. I wanted it to be revealing but cute/innocent as usual with her pics.

After I had the pose done, I thought rather than having it be cropped at the waist, since it has that slight view from above, it would be a good chance to have her bottom half submerged instead. And then from that I got the idea to do a hot springs scene, which is something I hadnt done in ages and used to be one of my favorite things. I think what makes it so appealing is its technically outdoors/public nudity, but keeps the intimate feel you get from an indoors scene, so you kinda get the best of both.

A detail I thought added a lot to the scene was the towel, having her holding it in a way that its flowing along the water. I feel like it also adds some movement to it since it makes me imagine her walking along the water. And of course I had to make it see through (especially because it would be wet anyway).

And on the topic of wetness, I tried to give her a bit of that wet skin look as well which is something Im not very good at, but I think its good enough to get the idea across.

For the colors/lightning I tried a few things but in the end I just couldnt avoid going back to the usual "dreamy pink" I tend to use often with her pics (and that I used to do a lot with my own character too a few years ago). It just always looks the best, so its hard to do anything else.

But yeah as I said at the start, gonna see if I can do some more commissions now. I had a bunch of requests at the end of last year that I never got done and Im always stressing about it, especially because my artistic confidence is at an all time low, lol. I never feel like Ill be able to do something worthwhile so I keep putting them off and it just turns into this endless negative loop thats really hard to get out of.
