Iris goofing around - Preview and some other stuff =D
🕑 Added 2020-02-19 04:29:41 +0000 UTCHey everyone, I try not to make posts back to back, but since this month is a little shorter than usual, I had to. =D
So, this is an idea I've had a long long time ago, that I wanted to make a series focused on expressions, trying out new things and whatnot.
Initially this was intended as a "photo booth" series but I really liked the theme of her just messing around in front of the mirror after a shower. So yeah, that grey area is a towel wrapped up on her.
Also, those expressions don't come out of thin air. In order to have fidelity in the gestures, deformation of mouth and other parts of the body interacting, I use a LOT of references. For example, in that old portrait of Iris (Music) that she has her hand kinda in front of her mouth, that's actually based on a picture I had to take in front of the mirror lol.
Another thing for those curious, a few months ago I said that I had build a "basic structure" of Iris house in 3d to use as reference on drawings and such (to make sure it's consistent between different images). Well .. I actually took the next step and build it on The Sims 4 lol.
Figuring out you know .. "stuff" .. that's often in a house (furniture, shelves, things on shelves, decoration hanging on the wall etc etc) is really hard to do. So instead, I spent a few hours building it on the game, since they have a descent catalog of all those things, but it was quite fun to do that. And it will help me a lot in future drawings because I can just go in the "camera mode" of the game and take a screenshot of a room and use it as reference to make the room more "lively". Because let's face it, Iris house decoration so far was very minimalistic lol.
I'll see to post a few screenshots later =)
Also a minor "announcement", I've made a few improvements on the timeline of my patreon page.
- I removed a LOT of "informative posts" such as rewards announcements, polls, past rewards topics and things that are not really relevant anymore.
- I created 5 tags and labeled all posts with them. So it's easier to browse the page for specific tags. They should be pretty self explanatory.
- I polished the description of the page, how my patreon works etc, and made the text more "clear" and easier to read.
Anyway, just a few improvements to make browsing here more efficient for everyone (myself included lol). And if you have any feedback on that, let me know!
So, I hope you guys liked the preview, and sorry for the wall of text =D

not a chance lol! I'm not that photogenic =D Also, I did consider to have a "flashing scene" on the photobooth. While it's not ruled out, I'll wait a bit to see if I'll revisit the idea in a way that's different enough from this one.

I found out an year or so ago, but it's not this woman. The closest I found of her, is this one. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f4/ae/37/f4ae37c1cffefbee6e7737eda7b1b6f2.jpg My reaction was pretty much "well, shit .. now people will say I based Iris on her" lol

Did you know she actually exists? https://wallhaven.cc/w/xldojz

Can we get a side-by-side of you and Iris making the same faces? I bet that would be hilarious! Also, I think the bathroom mirror is a good place for these because (a) we've probably all done something like that and (b) it'll make the alternative versions more realistic. That said, I wouldn't say "no" to a sneaky-teasing Iris flashing the camera in a photo booth...
Lee
thanks! Ironically the 3rd one (the smile) was the hardest to get right. It's surprisingly hard to make a full convincing smile and not just a "cute/coy little one". They are all definitely great practices =D
Lee
I have to say I have a lot of ideas for her drawings, but I can't do them all back to back lol. This one was from September 2019 =D
Lee
thank you! =)

I do actually plan to make a series like that, but I still need to figure out how to get it right. Like all of her series, it has to have her "character" in it, and not just showing off different poses. The reason a lot of people like her, is that she has personality in the images, and is not just "another hot character" =D
Lee
I'll get some screenshots when I post the finished drawings lol

Haha, I love it. Krys, I think I look forward to what you create with Iris the most each month. Can't wait. π

Oh, this is a fun idea for sure! I always love seeing more Iris and seeing her messing around with different facial expressions is great. I really like how the interaction between her thumb and lips in the first panel, same with her cheeks being pushed in in the second panel. I also really like her hairstyle here, held up with just a few strands falling is very cute. Cuter still is her big grinning expression as she lets it all down with strands falling in front of her face, I also like the idea that her hand is on top of her head just messing it all around π. That last expression is absurdly precious too, innocently looking away from the camera with her lips all pursed up. Her hair looks gorgeous in that one too pushed around to one side and allowed to cascade over her shoulder. Marvellous work so far on this preview, looking forward to see how these lovely expressions look with full rendering and colour πππππππππππππ

ooo Iris facial expressions, this ought to be good! Not as good as hot and sweaty yoga but still good XD

I would be curious to see the house in sims 4 :)
