Yet another clean out pile

[Khali]

Yeah, here we go again with a handful of short/simple (mostly Poser) images that barely stray on topic:

#1 - Warning, this one was a 'twisted' request, kinda akin to that 15 'page' series I did with Kelyn and Stipplewitz awhile back. Although this one is shorter and has tickling in other images, I'm only showing this one, though the series has six images (4 with tickling).

Ogre with Tifa buttfirst in its mouth (yes, swallowing her), tickling her feet on the way in.

#2 - Remember Tomato Dragon's rendition of Safira? Simply, here's a Poser version of that picture. Yes, the ropes on the wrists are screwed up, sorry.

Safira Tied N' Tickled

#3 - Non-tickling, just soles and a nice view.

Safira and Aello resting their feet on a (seemingly delighted) Rayne

#4 - Another okay view, just Safira resting on her side.

Safira laying on her side

#5 - Early H'Ween rejected image, just Kelyn in a witch hat threatening Nikki (formerly called 'Unknown'). Hard to say if Kelyn got 'bigger' or if Nikki was shrunken, but it's the same result.

"Better tickle it or you'll be squished!"

#6 - DRAWING - Non-tickling, just a general standing pic of Time Gal from the arcade/SegaCD/etc game...'Time Gal'.

Time Gal

Enjoy (?)

I like! I see you tried to make a copy of Tomato's drawing of Safira...came out just as good!

 

[rajee]

😀 The pose one of Tomato's drawing of your Safira wass awesome. The pre-tickle anticipation one with Keyln was cool. Nice sole shot ones too. And the Ogre one was very comical and creative. 😀

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Time Gal! I remember that game! What an original idea, and the way the gameplay worked using the directional pad was really innovative at the time! Nice sketch of her. ^^

Damn, I wish I could find a copy of that game. I never did get a chance to really build up my Sega CD game collection the way I wanted to, since I bought it right before it got discontinued and the games that were left tended to be some of the more popular ones. I would take anything I could get at this point, as long as it wasn't boring.

Did you know they actually made a Record of Lodoss War game for the Mega CD? And they used some of the animation from the OAV in the game. It was released some time in 92, but they never did make it for the Sega CD. Thats a damn shame.

 

[milagros317]

Some very nice sole shots here! 😀

I really liked #4 and #5, and absolutely loved #3. I very much envy Rayne in #3, as you could guess. 😛

It has been a while since I've seen you use your Tifa poser model. Very nice Khali...even if it was for a request. ^^

Safira Tied N' Tickled

I wouldn't worry about it being screwed up.... I mean transferring an actual picture to a poser based state...that's impressive in itself.

Safira and Aello resting their feet on a (seemingly delighted) Rayne

Such a nice way of putting it. I'm glad you're kind enough to let your characters indulge in the others' splendors.

Safira laying on her side

I have a feeling Safira's popularity is going to increase steadily.

"Better tickle it or you'll be squished!"

I expected the title to more so be lick it or be squished...but tickling is nice. ^^ I guess she likes it.

Time Gal

Never played it, but yet another interesting illustration.

Klepto:
Thanks...but the TD version is better. 😉

Rajee:
Again, thanks. ^^ As for comical/creative...yes, I find it that, but I'm afraid others might find it too...off-base.

Celtic:
Yep, it was a cool game, kinda like Dragon's Lair/Space Ace with a nifty main character design. 🙂
As for Sega CD titles, if you don't mind importing, there are several sites you maybe able to find Mega CD games like Lodoss War. It's probably harder to find US titles at this point. ^^

Milagros:
Again, I figured you'd like that one...soles + some domination seems to catch your eye most of all. 😉

FF7:
1-Yeah, it's just that I prefer to use my gals moreso...tho of course I'm open to requests and such with models like Tifa, Elena and Mai among others.
2-Thanks, but as I said above, eh, the drawn version seems more 'fulfilling'.
3-Heh, heh...couldn't think of any other better way to describe it. ^^
4-Perhaps it will, I'd say she's in the top 3 of my gals currently.
5-Kelyn might like it...but I doubt Nikki does in that situation. 😉
6-Thanks.

Good word, how could I have missed this? Such nice pics, and I can't believe you actually own Time Gal! Ten years ago, I was crazy about laserdisc games like Space Ace and Dragon's Lair (too bad all I had was an SNES.) I envy you! 😉

Keep up the great work! ^^

Yeah, I've considered that, but you'd need a Mega CD to play it. I doubt it would be compatible with the american version.

Record of Lodoss War was made for the Dreamcast, and I remember seeing it in stores. But when I looked at reviews of it in magazines, it seems that it didn't stay faithful to the series and sort of took it in a different direction so I never bothered to buy it since I don't have a Dreamcast and don't wish to have one. The actually RPG game is the one I mentioned, and to my knowledge it's based on the events in the OAV (which is the best part of the series if you ask me).

I also remember seeing Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight on the Game Boy color a few years back in a magazine. But it too was just the japanese version and was never released on the american version.

What a shame this is. The anime and manga crossed over nicely but the games didn't.

 

[Tomato_Dragon]

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGG!!!! Broken links.
Did you take them down Khali?

 

[Khali]

Larcen:
Thanks.

Celtic:
Well, as for the Mega CD Lodoss War, you could use emulation to play the ACTUAL CDs using your comp's CD drives. Since my SCD was unhooked, I use that alternative. You're still 'buying' the games, so this isn't a rom situation. Try 'Gens' for instance.
As for the Dreamcast version...eh...it was a diverting Diablo-ish fest with many little side quests and all, but it just didn't have a Lodoss War 'feel', considering the only chars that showed up were for short periods throughout the game. It is very difficult and would take awhile to get through, tho. Yes, I own it.

TD:
Didn't remove the links...probably just the typical temporary dead server. Remember: if the image located in my sig (currently Chibi-Stipp) doesn't work, then the links won't work either till it shows back up.

I see...where do I get one of these emulators? Its not some kind of piracy thing is it? I don't know much about ROMS either, but from what I've heard thats illegal. I want whatever option is as close to legal and fair as it is. Seeing as how I would have bought it if I could have, I don't see the harm and won't feel guilty. The fact that its such an old game now discontinued and wouldn't have been available to me by normal means anyways is something to consider.

Then of course, I have to actually hunt down a copy of the game itself. I doubt I'd find an unopened one, but that would be prefered, even if I had to pay a little extra.

 

[grippedchimp]

Well you sure are not short of ideas these days, Khali! Another fine group of pics!

 

[Khali]

Chimpy:
Heh, thanx. ^^

Celtic:
Just look up 'Gens' via google. Not giving a direct link due to possible rules concerning emulation/roms (although the emulator itself of course IS legal, and no roms are on the site). As far as legality, well, you ARE buying the game itself (the actual game disc) separately somewhere and just running it via your computer and the emulator. That's unlike the typical rom situation where you download a 'backup' of a game you don't actually own (which is the illegal part of things). Might want to check compatibility lists before you go searching for the game itself though, first, just to be safe. ^^

[Tomato_Dragon]

Finally got to see them. Another great round of pics Khali. Keep them coming 😀

 

[Lauren Tyler]

The old rules about emulation, eh? Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em! ^^

And don't mention it, Khali, I love your work! 😉

 

[Dave2112]

Nice stuff, Khali! The ogre one is very cute.

Let me give you some advice on the ropes for the Safira image. When you import a prop out of the "Rope Pack" (which I assume you're using, as they look like the ones I start out with), they are usually "parented" to a particular part of the body...except the "basic ropes", which aren't parented.

The "wrists" ropes are parented to the right wrist. In the correct pose, they will overlap both wrists. However, if you move one of the arms, the ropes will stay with the right wrist. When you first load the ropes, select them as the active object, go to the top menu under "Object" and click "Change parent". Select "Universe" and then they will be independant and will realign themselves to the universal X,Y and Z axes. Otherwise, the ropes will align thier axes with the direction the right wrist is facing. Once you do this, you can move the ropes around independantly and adjust them a hell of a lot more easily.

Hope this helps, and congrats on another fine series! 😎

[Khali]

TD:
Much thanx. ^^

Dave:
Again, thank you too...due to your response, eh, keep reading the bottom of this post for 'new' stuff. ^^

As for the Safira image, thanks for the help/advice. I actually, well, knew that this set of ropes parents to the right wrist, and moving them out of specific poses would screw up the appearance. The problem is the arm/wrist position in this pose. Even if I make the rope prop independent of Safira, the fact her wrists are going in perpendicular directions (while the 'openings' on the ropes are parallel) and since each 'loop' isn't independently rotatable, well, I can only get it fitting one wrist properly. Perhaps I should've had it fitting the wrist in FRONT rather than the one behind. 😉 I will keep the advice in mind tho, thanks again. ^^

Okay, I changed my mind and will be TEMPORARILY showing the rest of this series here. REMEMBER, this is a twisted request series:

#1 - Tifa scooped up by ogre
#2 - Swallowed buttfirst a little (tickling, this is the one you've already seen)
#3 - Swallowed more (tickling)
#4 - Swallowed even more (tickling)
#5 - Almost gone (soles)
#6 - Slurp (wiggling toes)

Remember, it's temporary and IS Tifa being swallowed, so that may not tickle your fancy (pun intended...at least for 3 frames of it).

[Dave2112]

Great "new" stuff, Khali!

Ok, about the ropes. I see what you're talking about, and there's an easy solution. If you do have the full "Rope Pack", there should be a prop for "wrists" and there should ALSO be an individual prop for "right wrist" and "left wrist." I usually use these exclusivly so I can use whichever pose I choose. The individual wrist-ropes are a bit thinner than the others, so you simply need to adjust the Y Scale.

If you don't have the full rope pack, send me a PM and I'll send you the files.

Dave 😎

 

[Lauren Tyler]

It may be twisted, but there's nothing wrong with a little bizarre stuff now and then, Khali. Everyone has that side to them, and it's perfectly normal. Keep up the good work! 😉

 

[Khali]

Dave:
Oops! I forgot all about the 'separate' wrist/ankle rope props in that pack (yes, I have the full one) completely when I did this pic. Thanks for the reminder...silly me. 😛

[Michael2003]

Wow, you've been busy.

I kind of wish I could offer advice pertaning to that rope pack, but it looks like Dave said it all. Things like rope loops are never easy to manage. Often, I'll just make sure they look snug on the side of the wrist that faces the camera and not worry about the back.

Safira is such a beautiful character. I love seeing her. I especially love seeing her get tickled.

 

[Dave2112]

I use the technique Micheal mentioned if I'm doing a one-shot image. However, you need to learn to morph ropes if you're going to do a series. It's not that hard. With the utilization of the individual rope props, a little X,Y and Z manipulation can make them conform to the body part you're tying down. Then you can circle the image with the camera and still have the ropes synch up.

Regardless, this was a truly neat series, and I'm glad that you keep posting your stuff! I love it!

 

[JFA]

Yes this is nice work.
