This sketchbook alone would be worth paying for! Fabulous innately as well as for the rich things it promises: the raw sketchwork is not only instructive (demonstrating the progressive stages of these masterful paintings) but quite beautiful! The enchanting array of classic TIS characters (Thompson exercising control over poor Jessie in an unused illustration we might otherwise never get to see; Scav's take on Mistress Koki, whose interpretation varies markedly from Deeto's authoritative own), as well as the exploration of those players being freshly fleshed-out (initial victims Bonita and Elsa granted more active participation) is the most welcome sort of reunion!
The giddy prospect of TISR insures that we'll soon be able to enjoy the talents of two master image makers melded in the most intimate way imaginable! The sample pictures, while in no way eroding fondness for the fine first version, are mouth-watering in the extreme for the subtle mood and wide-ranging richness Scav brings to Deeto's heroically quirky, innovative linework! That this level of world-class fetish entertainment should be offered gratis may be the most mind-blowing prospect! This is clearly a proven property they could easily and most profitably have charged us to enjoy; it bespeaks their profound love for and generosity toward the Community that we need only sit back and let this tidal wave of wonder wash over us! To express wild appreciation is the least we owe, and I anticipate a fervor that may well eclipse the history-making first run!
The mountain of awe-inspiring preparatory work which foreshadows the upcoming MTJ "Veil of Qadesh" would convince even a tyro unfamiliar with the teams past triumphs of its quality! Deeto's timeless characters are realized in a style and setting of unparalleled Scavenger scope and grandeur! A single scanner panel image, filled with minutely detailed readouts, arched gridding and entirely convincing spacecraft rivals anything anyone could hope to see in the most expert, expensive cinematic sf epic! Astoundingly outre, exotic cityscapes vie with scenes of erotic, sweaty intimacy for a whole in which light-hearted teasing is granted an aura of momentous gravitas! Please, please, please... make sure to appreciate the peerless Scavenger now, while we still have him all to ourselves. This is destined not to last forever... even a soul as giving to our forums as his will have to move on in order to conquer wider professional realms. As he progresses from superlatives to ever fresh superlatives, a yearning world will not allow him anything less. We'll one day mourn if we haven't let him fully understand our love.
That a rather small, insular Community should be allowed the massive talents of either a Deeto or a Scavenger to entertain it is luck beyond hope; that we should have them both, and that they should choose to combine their efforts into such supreme gifts almost smacks of divine intervention! We truly live in a blessed age!
