Bondage Babes and Silver Linings

Woman in Bondage Commission

I finally made some real serious progress on the bondage commission. I got enough done to get some photocopies made. That let me try out some things in colored pencil (that failed) and experiment with gel pen (which worked). I can also bring the image into Photoshop to do other color work.

But the original wasn’t quite done yet. Below is a photo of the finished drawing. The white balance is off, but it highlights the silver gel pen I added to the piece for a special touch.

This is pretty much ready to ship along with the color piece from last week. I’ve got one more on the drawing board for him.

I definitely like the look on her face, but the drawing is really fighting me on positioning. Originally, she was going to be spread on a St. Andrews cross. but it just doesn’t look right. I’m seriously rethinking this and haven’t given up yet.

Meanwhile, the Demon Bondage babe has been popular as a sticker and I had several offers at a comic show, but didn’t have the piece on hand. Further complicating matters is that it was for a poster. I was doing publicity for Bondage Ball, and if I remember right, we parted ways a few months before Bondage Ball 2008. So the piece was half-finished. Before the commissions, I was bringing the piece up to a point where I could sell it as a finished piece. Obviously, it won’t do much good for an advertisement, but it would look great as poster art.

Look for the finished piece on Etsy in the months ahead, and I should have stickers available on Etsy by next week.

By the way, I still have stickers, greeting cards and more available on Cafe Press at: http://www.cafepress.com/jaymoyes
