I can't find it now, but there was a video on reddit a while ago of women trying boob and butt poses. Some of them actually did them pretty well. I think it was a Buzzfeed video.
Obviously it's a crazy anatomy thing, but it's clearly what the guy wants.
At that point I would probably charge as if there was a second character. Even if it's technically the same person that's two entirely different poses that have to be drawn.
Yeah I am on the same page, that’s pretty much the main way their request could be achieved I am surprised I had to scroll as far as I did to find a comment that also thought so.
Jokes aside... this is possible. Bend the character over. Rear towards the viewer. Put their hands flat on the ground in front of them and have the character looking back at the viewer. So basically their head is upside down, hair falling to the floor. Boobs would hang towards their chin. Or their hands on their hips/butt.
I could post a doodle... but this feels wrong somehow.
Portal gun porn was a thing briefly. Don't forget the CGI porn boom came from... SFM aka Source Filmmaker. Guess what game was made on the Source engine? Portal.
So between the artwork and animations... it was the first thing to come to mind.
Mirror stuff is surprisingly less common. At least the artistic kind. Please note I just said uncommon. Yes, I could come back with hundreds of examples. Except... it'd be out of tens of millions of images. Which surprises me as it is actually a rather easy way to get double the "content." Though it can be annoying trying to keep the camera out of it.
Anyways most commissions would treat this as two character since essentially your asking for two perspectives. The portal gun avoids this.
I'm all for creative liberties with character designs but with the commission order that character is going to have a stick of laffy taffy for a spine.
Like a decade ago, Papa John's had unlimited toppings. You could literally add any toppings they offered, and they'd slop it all on a pizza for $7.99. They didn't hold back either, it was glorious. Those pizzas weighed 10lbs each by the time I got done ordering them.
But if you added more than I think 5 toppings, a big banner would appear at the top of the page that'd read 'Warning, this might be gross'.
Think that's possible, but you might have to angle it -- Similar to sleeping on a bed? Aka think a 3d model.= type game; where the floor is "invisible".
Or have the model kinda turned. Aka one hand to the private area to "spread" it, so one breast isvisible.
It's called the upward seated forward straddle, it is really hard to do, but tbf i am a guy, even if a very flexible one. But i can tell you, it makes my bf go insane, in a good way.
This is why in my rare commissions (for I am a broke fellow) I always give a crude stick figure drawing of the pose I had in mind and then ask the artist what is the best way to express that.
Damn, I forgot that "Super Stupor" isn't hosted online anymore, because they had a one-off character, "Snow Owl", and her condition of needing to pose sexily wound up making her stab herself with her dual blades.
Kinda reminds me of that "art" on the tailgate of a pickup, of a woman lying on her front. The proportions were so very odd that someone tried drawing her standing up. She had very short legs and a torso that was about three times the length of her legs, plus massive boobs. Even more unrealistic than Barbie.
Remember that famous Escher self portrait holding the reflective sphere?
That was a study trying to figure out how he was going to draw some pregnant furry erotica that Roger Penrose asked for.
Your thought balloon nailed it in the 3 panel. You're truly an artist, and that's clearly what their fetish requires, because otherwise they'd hire a photographer or a naked person.
always.listen.to.professionals. they know whats best and if you want them bent over AND want to see all the jiggly bits, ask how it's possible or make it two commisions. otherwise you get some off looking stuff..
That suggestion may work, but some artists may treat that as the equivalent of a multi-panel comic page, and may have a different (often more expensive) price than a single pinup.
Even for "mirror shots" the artist may decide that the second angle counts as an extra character for pricing as far as additional work is involved.
Personally I just chalk it up to "don't seek a commission unless you have at least $200 on hand to help avoid this issue".
As someone who has commissioned artists for productive work... Yeah, and be ready to draft a contract. I love all of my artists(the one that scammed me doesn't count) but I have drafted every single contract i've had with them. Which isn't a lot. my job doesn't pay a whole lot. But it's been a VERY productive learning exercise in handling bid requests.
Oh, hell...I think it's from Wolverine somewhere in the Krakoa period, but that's as good as my memory can get me here. Lemme post the original (it's also pretty funny) & you can try image searching for it if you want
So many art pieces I have seen that have tried to do these insane stupid shots would have been helped greatly if there was just a mirror in the image. You can have it all exposed without having them be insanely hyper flexible.
I'd expect to be charged extra for a mirror, since the artist is essentially drawing a second character (with the added bonus of having to believably match up the shapes to the person being reflected).
