Thread: www.the-agencies.com presents The Cyriaan Chronicles CONTEST

[oblesklk1]

I was just talking with Lost One Zero the other day about the next installment of The Cyriaan Chronicles. He suggested the idea of a pinup book, which we've never published here before. I liked the idea, and we thought it would be neat if you guys supplied us with ideas of characters/fantasies you've always wanted to see. If we think your idea fits well with our comic universe, we'll put it in the book!

What are the rules?

• You submit an idea for a tickling (or implied tickling) pinup, specify the character(s), describe the tickling action in the scene, describe the clothing and any other details you'd like to see.
• Just post your idea here or PM it to me.
• The pinup must feature characters from The Cyriaan Chronicles comic universe. The character can come from any issue #1-#7.
• We reserve the right to accept or decline any submission for any reason.
• No underaged characters will be depicted in the pinups.
• No overt sexual activity will be chosen for the book.
• There is no limit to the number of submissions a person can give.
• Winners of accepted submissions will receive an advance copy of the book the artwork goes to create, as well as any other of our publications at www.the-agencies.com of their choice.

Attaching a couple pieces of fanart L0Z has done about our characters in the past, as well as the characters from the latest release of The Cyriaan Chronicles.

Hmmm... I think a pinup book is a fantastic idea! An excellent way to celebrate one of the first fantasy tickling comic series! And here is my submission.

Think of this as a continuation from Cyriaan Chronicles 6, assuming you decided to send Katrine and Vice to the stocks. The warrior princess and her loyal lieutenant decide to get a little just revenge upon Amelie and Simone. They hold a midnight raid, snatching the slumbering duo from their beds and taking them to Katrine's quarters. Amelie and Simone are wrapped from neck to ankles in thick bedsheets, tied fast with heavy belts. Their bare feet are covered with a thin layer of honey.

Then, Katrine and Vice release their secret weapons: puppies! The playful little pups immediately begin lapping at the sweet honeyed soles, much to the hilarious dismay of Amelie and Simone. They laugh and squirm, but to no avail. Their suffering continues until morning light.

In the pinup picture, Katrine is painting Amelie's soles with a wide brush, slathering the honey on her feet. Meanwhile, Vice watches as Simone howls with laughter, the puppies slurping up her soles. Amelie and Simone are obviously dressed in wrapped sheets while Katrine and Vice are decked out in stealthy black outfits with plenty of dark leather.

I hope you enjoy my idea and I'm looking forward to seeing the pinup book!

COUPLE POINTS OF CLARITY BASED ON PRIVATE MESSAGES:

You can enter as many submissions as you like and you will win one of our publications for each accepted submission.

The submissions are just written out, you don't need to actually draw anything (That's L0Z's job...and he's amazing at it).

Prizes, you say? COUNT ME IN!

Okay, here's one (of hopefully many) of my ideas:

Due to a dimensional rift, the various characters of CC are brought together!
- A crossover between heroines. There's Liddy (from #3), Chersti (#2), and Ameile (#6-7), in the stocks, in a hidden shed, getting their bare feet tickled by Scarlet and Lord Bheshma, who have decided to team up accomplish their goals. Using the Tickle Pixies (from #5) to aid them in torturing the girls.

-Idea 2
After Vice decided to tickle Simone (shown here), she decides to ask Princess Katrine to help exact revenge. Knowing Katrine has studied some magic, Simone asks the princess if she knows a spell they could use on Vice. Her Majesty has just the thing, a paralyzing spell. By setting a trap, Simone tricks Vice into stepping onto the hidden magic circle. After the spell activates (and succeeds), they decide to begin their ticklish assault. While Katrine goes for the armpits, Simone removes Vice's boots, tickling her large and vulnerable soles, as Simone teases about their size.

Question: What exactly counts as "overt sexual activity"? Does this just mean actual sex and the like or anything with nudity and sensual activity and such?

Wait, wasn't it established in the first one (of the last two) that Vice wasn't really ticklish on her feet? Or was this retconned?

 

[Zonzo]

Yeah, Vice's feet aren't very ticklish, unfortunately. In CC6, that fact is brought to light, and she soon had her armpits tickled instead. In CC7, she had her feet and armpits tickled at the same time, but it was most likely just her pits getting worked on that was causing the laughter.

And finally, if you'll look at the promo pic of the four girls with their feet on the table, you'll also note that Vice is the only one with her arms tied above her head, exposing her armpits.

Subtle details, but they're all there.

Anywho, this contest is a pretty cool idea. Not sure if I'll enter yet but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try to think up an idea or two.

 

[mirthgoblin]

Another submission idea that sprang up in my head. While I simply adore the latest group of Cyriaan Chronicles, I thought it might be fun to see some of the older issue characters in LOZ's famous style. And so I hearken back to one of the most random, yet amusing comics from the agencies. Cyriaan Chronicles Issue Three.

Even though the series was never completed, it seems like a good bet that Liddy could end up side by side with Princess Adeliy in Bheshma's dungeons, being interrogated for information on the schematics. This is the backdrop for this idea.

Liddy, dressed in her blue jeans and 311 t-shirt, and Adeliy, decked out in her slumbering princess attire from the comic, are strapped down to a pair of bondage chairs. Thick leather straps fasten their necks to the backs of the chairs and their wrists to the arm rests. Their feet are locked into a set of double stocks, their toes tied back with ribbons. Meanwhile, the dark haired torturess from the same comic goes to down on their naked soles, raking her claws up and down the trapped feet.

Hope you enjoy this submission as well. I'll see what else I can come up with as time goes on.

Er... uh, um... it was the spell that did it. Yeah. To be honest, I don't actually have any of these comics, so I'm at a bit of a disadvantage here.

 

[Bashiku]

I honestly don't know much about Cyrian Chronicles Lore, but I will throw my dime on the table and see how that goes.

1. Amelia and Katrine travel back through time via magical ritual one of them messed up, meeting their own ancestors and starting the 'Nobility' Fair we've seen in Loz's first CC.

2. Katrine's date with few guys, where reader chooses the guy and story goes onward in different directions depending on the choice. The story could be short, 3 pages per date, with variety of dates from great date and true love spark, to bad end where she is tricked and captured by enemies.

3. Simone is captured by a human hating group of demi humans and she is subjected to very sensual interrogation/brainwashing by half demoness. No nudity should be involved, but verbal teasing and few panels left to imagination would do wonders for that idea.

Not very descriptive I know, but I am giving guidelines, not whole settings. For whole settings I would require 1 on 1 conversation and agreement with other side.

 

[oblesklk1]

Question: What exactly counts as "overt sexual activity"? Does this just mean actual sex and the like or anything with nudity and sensual activity and such?

It's all in the eye of the beholder. If you've seen L0Z's work in the past, you know the kind of material he produces, so the same guidelines would be here as well.

We would not choose a pinup showing actual sex. No nudity will be chosen either. You can try to do a tasteful nude that shows implied nudity (the character is nude, but nothing is shown due to angles/cover). Such material is fine with me, but I'm not going to force L0Z to do anything he's not comfortable with. So the more risque it is, the more risk there is of it being rejected.

Think PG-13 and you'll be fine.

Wait, wasn't it established in the first one (of the last two) that Vice wasn't really ticklish on her feet? Or was this retconned?

You are correct! No retcon.

Very perceptive on Vice! And quite right. It's a shame sometimes, but not every character is a 10/10 on the ticklish scale with every tickle spot.

And I definitely agree with your last sentiment, couldn't hurt to spend 5-10 minutes and float something out there.

 

[oblesklk1]

I'm seeing a lot of great ideas here so far. I'll keep this open probably for another week for those that missed it, then gather the ideas and pass along to L0Z the ones that will work best with what we're trying to do here.

Thanks all, and keep the ideas coming!

Ok, gotcha.

I actually consider this a good thing, since every character being most ticklish or so in the same spots all of the time gets predictable.

In CC7, Simone and Vice get mistaken for the princesses. My idea is an off-shot of that of sorts, in that the princess sisters make a bet with Simone and Vice that they wouldn't last a day as a princess, thus creating a "Princess for the Day" challenge.

Simone and Vice agree after some goading, thinking it shouldn't be too hard...but unbeknownst to them, Katrine and Amelie, wanting to win their side of the bet, hired some jester girls to make things a bit more unbearable for the two, which leads into the picture's current situation, with the two bound and at the mercy of two jesters tickling Vice's armpits and Simone's feet. After all, a jester's job is to ensure their audience is always in a state of laughter, right?

This is basically an excuse to see Simone and Vice in princess clothing. =P

 

[oblesklk1]

Contest is now closed. Thanks to all who entered publicly and privately. I will be in touch with everyone over the next week or two to discuss the next steps.

 

[oblesklk1]

Hi all, I just wanted to say we've finally decided on which submissions we'd like to move forward with.

We've also decided to reward everyone who participated, not just those whose submissions were accepted. Anyone sending in an idea also gets a free ecomic of their choice from our extensive tickle torture comic book library. Thanks all, and look for the Cyriaan Chronicles pinup book Winter 2012.

 

[Sinister-Lurker]

Sounds intriguing. A shame I missed the contest itself.

Sounds intriguing. A shame I missed the contest itself.

It's all good, we'll have more! I'm consistently impressed with the level of participation we get on our contests. More than 2/3 of the final product will be fan submitted, which is great! That also means it encourages me to keep having them as long as people like doing them. And hey, free prizes for all, what's not to like?

I'd like to thank you folks at TT in particular, it's quite impressive how much participation I get from the art lovers here.

 

[oblesklk1]

Production is finished; we are ready to go live with the book within a week or so. I will contact winners of the contest with their submissions and complementary copy of the book.

For anyone else that participated, please send me a PM with your email address and choice of free ecomic from our library at www.the-agencies.com.

Thanks again to all that participated!

The following submissions were accepted and are in the final product:

1. I'd love to see Katrine and Vice, captured by an evil orcess. They're in stocks. Katrine and Vice are also in sheer stockings (black and tan). The stocks are situated with the feet just over a large ant hill. The ogre has started drizzling honey on Katrine's feet, and Vice is looking on in horrific anticipation. [submitted by dnc2423]

2. The Cyriaan Chronicles Princess Collection. Princess Cin'tai from Issue #1. Princess Adeliy from Issue #3. Princesses Katrine and Amelie from Issues #6 & 7. All four girls are getting ready for the ball and getting their pedicures at the same time. All four are laughing as the assistants tickle them unintentionally with items like pumice stones, brushes, etc. [submitted by LordSebastian]

3. Katrine and Vice in a spooky forest being gang tickled all over by a group of tickle pixies [submitted by MrTyper]

4. Liddy, dressed in her blue jeans and 311 t-shirt, and Princess Adeliy, decked out in her slumbering princess attire from the comic, are strapped down to a pair of bondage chairs. Thick leather straps fasten their necks to the backs of the chairs and their wrists to the arm rests. Their feet are locked into a set of double stocks, their toes tied back with ribbons. Meanwhile, the dark haired torturess from the same comic goes to down on their naked soles, raking her claws up and down the trapped feet. [submitted by mirthgoblin]

5. There's Liddy (from #3) and Ameile (#6-7) in the stocks, getting their bare feet tickled by Scarlet and her gang. [submitted by NeoMetalSonic50]

6. In CC7, Simone and Vice get mistaken for the princesses.

7. Vice is tied to a bed with her hands together, above her head, and her feet together at the end of the bed. Her normal outfit is fine. Her boots are lying at the foot of the bed. Katrine is sitting, also barefoot with her shoes sitting next to Vice's boots, at the end of the bed and is tickling her underarms using her fingers. Standing behind Katrine is Simone and Amelie all with feathers in hand waiting their turn. As for dialogue and story, Katrine states something about punishing Vice for screwing something up in a battle perhaps, and muses that she feels Vice is screwing up on purpose to continue being tickled. Vice has a word balloon where she is begging and pleading for the tickling to stop, but next to it will be a separate thought balloon where she is confirming that she wants it to continue.
