Cover art: Treponema!

It's funny how distant things sometimes combine and appear as something that has been planned. On Sunday we had Syphilis card for the fake card game of "The Serpent, The Sinner, The Saint", today we have another character sharing a similar name, if you consider that Treponema is the bacterium responsible of syphilis! What a coincidence!

Anyway, why did i drew Treponema? I was asked to do another variant cover art for a reprint of the previous comic book of "Deficients and Dragons" series. If you remember a couple of months ago i drew another variant cover for the new comic book of the series. Since there was a good feedback with the new book our publisher now wants to reprint the previous one, published 2 years ago by a bankrupt publisher and now very hard to find. For the occasion there will be two variant covers, one made by Bigio, the writer of the series and another one, spicier, made by me.
As for the previous one, i tried not to exaggerate with the NSFW, considering that the comic will be exposed for the sale in comic conventions where there will be also kids.
The result is this suggestive scene with the main character Treponema squeezing a strange bird (a peaCOCK, even if you can't see its tail, in italian is called "Cosmofavone") between her boobs, and the rest of the party reacting to the scene (except the cleric lady who's a bit disappointed).
I think it's funny, pretty suggestive but not very explicit and thus good to be exposed and sold in a convention without being offensive to someone.
I don't have the time lapse video, i forgot to enable it when i started drawing, but i added the sketch and the lineart only version of the drawing to show you partially the process of the creation.
