and now for some replies:
-Kunoke-: wow, thanks much for the compliment! very kind words indeed.
koopacooper: *bows deeply*, and yes, ginny and hermione tickling each other is a delicious idea! But even if they are both minors, I still think the gods of the forum would send a few lightning bolts my way if I draw them as minors; maybe in the future I'll draw them as adults tickling the daylights out of each other.
Fairfeather: 1001 thanks! and yes, digital painting from a digital sketch. I used 5 reference photos in this one: one for each foot, one for hermionies head, another for her body, and one of dobby for the lower right house elf. the other house elves I just drew freehand. The hands are drawn using my own hands as a reference; i hold up my hand to this mirror I have, in a tickling position, and quick sketch it, then refine it. Pencil is nice and simple, but I cant move and resize the sketches ( and reflect them and stretch them ) like I can in photoshop. so now I use photoshop soup to nuts.
Jericho: feet in face rock! As a foot man, im always tempted to make the foot take up the whole damn pic. And yes, vyv are super ticklish, and they deserve to get some. Maybe I can mix several ideas here: coop devils tickling a vyv. muahahah. see below.
Littlebighead: Hey buddy, so glad I am the one that corrupted you further with Coop's work! I have gotten enough encouragement to do some coop devil girls tickling that my favorite idea now is to have some coop devil girls tickling the life out of some hogtied vyv devil girl. teasing and taunting her. two birds with one stone... ( both vyv tickling and coop tickling in one pic ) And I would like to have it also be a kind of a tribute piece, with pictures of my favorite tickling artists work hanging on the wall behind them; and perhaps some graffiti with some choice messages.
Hungarian2: thanks! and yes, ginny and hermione should have some heavy tickling in their future! red heads are hot, and snooty, ticklish, know-it-all bookworms can never get too much tickling. I got so many good suggestions on what to draw next; like a kid in a candy store. Ginny vs Hermione is near the top of the list, but Coop vs Vyv is next I think. Muahahahha.
