Fitting In Chapter One Progress - More Experiments





















This is more of the work I did last month. The only thing I did recently was to resize the individual images and compile them all on one page. They are all renders of the same scene with only changes to the lighting positions, number of lights, light intensity, shadows on or off, and light types. For the four on the bottom I put clothes on him that are open and unbuttoned because he can't find any clothes that fit over his huge breasts. For the two on the bottom right, I put a spotlight in the computer monitor to try and make it look like the light was coming from the screen. It is one little scene from the week after the breast explosion where Jamie is trying to cope with his giant breasts. I'm stuck with them this size because that is how the prologue ended. I don't want to give away too much of the story, but they don't stay that big for very long. They look ridiculous, are hard to explain and justify, and from a practical standpoint, just too hard to dress. Yes, I wrote myself into a corner because I did not look ahead past the end of the first story. Now I need to decide which render to use. And those nine are not even half of the ones I did!

Fitting In Chapter One - A Couple Experiments




















Still not getting any work done on the new chapter. Here is another sample of the work I did last month, some more experiments.

I thought I would try rendering Jamie without adding all the processing I was using to get that hand-drawn look, so I rendered the raw character as it loads from the poser library. I have to say that it looks really good to me and I'm almost tempted to quit trying to get a hand-drawn look and go with renders like this. But I know I'll never get the other characters and their clothes and the backgrounds to look right or even good, so I think not. Also, the face looks weird, doesn't even look the same as the other renders I got in the published comic even though the parameters are all the same.

This one looked so good, I tried a render of Jamie with the huge tits after the second set of pills. It looks really good, too. I wish I had the time to do the comic both ways, but then I wouldn't be able to decide which one looked better!

Fitting In Chapter One Progress - None















Sorry. I haven't done anything on the new story since 6/24. Family problems and lots of other things I won't go into. I will post some samples of what I did up till then over the next couple of days so you won't lose interest.

What I managed to do today was upload the prologue to 4shared and my Yahoo group. Somebody else has already uploaded it to E-Hentai. In fact, they were doing it in chunks as I was posting it daily on this blog. They did put a link back to this blog in the comments, so I guess that's okay.

Tentative First Page

























This is the latest version of the first page of Chapter One of Fitting In. It's the third or fourth version. It sets up the next few days of Jamie's recovery from the overdose of experimental hormone pills. Somehow we need to explain away those huge breasts and get him back to "normal" without pulling a Bobby Ewing. Make the series more realistic and believable than the one-shot comic that started it.

I have eight pages done so far until I got bogged down in the story. I've also experimented a lot more with Poser, learning how to do reflections in mirrors and use dynamic clothing and such. Also playing with lighting, which can really change how characters and the scene look when they render. So this post is to give you all a progress report so you won't lose interest and forget about me. :-)

'cause it might be a while. :-(

Fitting In - Last page






















The End.
Okay, the end of the teaser, or the flashback, or the back story.
This was originally intended to be just a short, throwaway cartoon I could use to learn and practice using Poser, with no intention of developing any of the characters any further or continuing the story or even trying to obey the laws of physics or biology. But all of your comments have convinced me that there is something here worth continuing. I mean, even I want to see what is going to happen next. Since I am going to do more stories anyway, why not do this one first?
But it will be a while. I want to finish the whole story, or at least complete chapters, before I start posting anything so I won't leave you hanging, waiting for the next installment if something comes up or I need to take a break and miss a few posts. (I hate it when that happens in a story I am following!)
So thanks again for your support and interest!
Jane ;-)

Fitting In - Page 37





















This is my favorite page. I wish I could make all of them look like this.

Tomorrow is the end of the series. It is probably going to be anti-climatic for most of you since you probably figured out what is going to happen.

(But I started posting one page a day so I'm going to finish it that way!) :-)
