[Announcement] Contagious Augmentation - Part 6

Hi everyone!

After Curves on Command made its long-awaited comeback last week, it's now finally time for Contagious Augmentation to resurface too! This time, we'll meet two new girls, Rose and Sophie (though I won't tell you who's who just yet), who come into contact with the virus during a company cruise... with obvious consequences.

I won't reveal yet how exactly this new part ties in with the previous ones, but if you go back and read the last page of Part 5, you might just be able to figure it out on your own ^^

If all goes according to plan, the comic will drop sometime mid to late next week!

Curves on Command - Part 2

And once again - what a surprise! - I'm serving up my thoughts on the latest release: Curves on Command - Part 2!

So... did anyone notice? I used a slightly different model this time than usual and also tweaked a few things in the post-processing. I tried hard to keep the overall art style fairly consistent, but if you compare Katja's visuals with some of my older comics, I think you can definitely notice a slight difference (which was kinda intentional - if I wanted exactly the same look, I wouldn't have changed the model in the first place haha).

The changes are pretty subtle - smoother skin, slightly fewer outlines. Most notably, this model doesn't generate muscle tone nearly as aggressively on every character's body as the previous one. It took me a little time to get used to it at first, because with fewer contours and fewer reflections on the characters (which I had already introduced in an earlier comic), they almost look a bit "empty" at first glance - but you get used to the new look fairly quickly, and by now, I clearly prefer it.

And I know I ask for your opinion in basically every post, but this time I'm especially curious:
A) Did you notice the change?
B) What do you think of it? Do you also see it as an upgrade, or did you like the old look better?

The only thing I'm still not completely happy with is the faces. They look good enough™, but I felt the old model produced slightly more interesting, better-looking faces. So for Part 6 of Contagious Augmentation, I'll be trying out something new in that regard - stay tuned! ^^

Alright, that wraps up the biggest topic for today - now let's move on to a few smaller things:

There've been some changes (or rather, additions) to how I've illustrated the pages! We've got new fonts, more colors, glow effects, and my first attempts at depicting motion in the comic with a bit more style. I'm specifically talking about the *rub* and *fwip* effects on pages 14-16, where Katja wedges her new fan-donated asset between her two already very large ones... and, well, has a blast with it, haha ^^

I'm not totally satisfied with the execution just yet - I'll definitely try a few other variations in future comics, but I do think it already looks way better in this context than just slapping some plain text on the page without any effects.

And since we're already on the topic of futanari: I'll probably be taking a bit of a longer break from that.
I've pretty much used up the few ideas I had left for that theme - like the self-paizuri, which we just talked about (if you couldn't follow my lovely euphemisms haha) - in this comic and... yeah ^^.
I told you from the very beginning that I'm not exactly the biggest futa fan. I've grown to like it a bit more over the course of the few comics it featured in, but... not quite enough to want to include it everywhere, haha. I'm sure it'll pop up again someday, but for now, there's definitely going to be a longer futa-free phase.

Another thing we probably won't see again for quite a while - though for entirely different reasons - is pussy expansion, which appeared for the very first time at the end of this release. Man, that was a pain in the a** to pull off! Stable Diffusion doesn't really have good keywords to precisely control pussy size - or if they exist, they don't really work well (probably due to a lack of training data). So I had to do a ton of manual editing to make it look the way I envisioned. The end result? Definitely very sexy, if you ask me - but I think I aged like five years while working on it.
But hey - if you all now say: "Oh my god, that was the hottest thing I've ever seen", then maaaybe I'll let myself be talked into going through the pain again in a future comic, haha.

Sooo, anything else new..? Oh right - the catgirl concept!
I can't believe we hadn't done that until now, but I double-checked just to be sure, and it's true. Okay, technically we already had the ears in Lust & Lore, but it wasn't a full transformation - and it definitely wasn't embraced the way it is here.
All in all - super cute, if you ask me - and we'll definitely see more of it in the future. But to avoid all my comics blending into one big visual soup, I think I'll keep the catgirl theme exclusive to Curves on Command for now. The new comics will have to wait their turn ^^

---

And with that, we've actually covered everything I had planned for today. Part 3 of Curves on Command will hopefully release on its regular schedule again - no long pause this time. But till then, there are still plenty of other comics waiting for us - with both familiar and unfamiliar faces ^^

Catch you all next week when Part 6 of Contagious Augmentation drops!
Until then, take care!
