Even More Commissioned Artwork (Updated 06/25/17)

Looks like our gal is sunk...

Fantastic image for all the reasons waterbug has told us. This has been a great, great series. So grateful you decided to share it with the rest of us.

Sure looks that way,... but it's not over just yet

Glad you are enjoying it, I have been loving this whole series, glad to hear others are as well You are quite welcome.

I just want to say, I'm loving this series, even more than the previous Black Cat series you commissioned. Obviously my favorite part is the chest deep shot

Glad you are enjoying it as well I have to say, I like the both, they each have their own advantages, but I must say that in this series the lower cost of the commissions, compared to previous series, allowed me to add in more steps of the progression which would have made the other series cost too much, and this were not included. And that is not to criticize Toughset at all, his works are great, and drawn by hand, so I certainly understand the higher cost, but it does make you more selective of which shots you include and which ones you don't.

Heh, as I've said, the two butt-deep shots have to be my favorites.

Glad you have enjoyed the series, I hope you continue to enjoy it.

Things certainly don't seem to be going well for poor Felicia, and it looks like she Really understands that now. It amazes me how, with so little of her left in view that Tiangtam can still produce an expression that conveys so much.

And of course be sure to check out the gallery of the artist behind this, and other lovely images; http://tiangtam.deviantart.com/

Really liking the ever so slow sinking of Felicia in this series. Her eyes become more and more expressive the deeper she sinks, especially ever since she sank past her shoulders in the mire, at which time things got REAL serious for her. Love Tiangtam's attention to detail, especially in the way he conveys so much emotion and information from Felicia's eyes.

I also like how the quicksand seems even more alive in this particular piece... it comes across as actively consuming its victim as she's drawn in further and further into its dark depths below. It seems that it's no longer a matter of how stuck Felicia is, but instead how much longer she has before she's sucked under... she's beyond trapped by this point... it's more like she's doomed as the surface ripples of the mud close in. Once again, how her hair spreads across the quicksand's surface is beautifully done.

Thanks for sharing!

Slow sinks are the best in my opinion, gives a better feel for the thickness of the bog, and the struggles of the sinker. Indeed they have, It seems that at shoulder deep she really realized that things were not going her way, and at each step since then the realization that she IS going nowhere but down starts to sink in more and more, pun intended. But I would think the surface of the quicksand touching the bottom of your nose would cause even the toughest and most stubborn person to react like that,... and Felicia is no exception, I can only imagine that all the warning bells must be going off in her head right now,... and I think that TT has really captured that beautifully in her expression. It really does impress me how he is able to convey so much, with so little of her left to work with.

Oh, indeed, it really does seem to have a life of its own here, the ripple on the surface like a pair of monstrous lips closing in around her, and when those lips close,... *slurp*,... down into the 'belly' of the bog she goes. Agreed, in previous pieces it was a matter of her being stuck, but still fighting, would she get out, would she sink deeper? But I think in this piece there is no doubt she IS going down,... slowly but surely the bog is going to suck her down and swallow her up, and she is powerless to do anything but watch it close in over her. As you say, this is more than stuck, this is doomed. And yes, the hair spread across the surface is very well done, and a nice accent to the piece.

Doomed works for me.

Her expression again sells this... and explains why I'm not a huge fan of head first sinkings.... I like to see her eyes as she goes down for the last time.

And I also love slow sinks.

Heh, works for me too, though she doesn't seem to happy about it

Oh, indeed,... and yeah, head first is a nice novelty now and then, but you lose out on far too much,... all through this series her expression have been amazing, it simply wouldn't have been the same without them. Likewise, that one last wide eyed look as the bog rises up her face. <3

Likewise, slow sinks are the best, gives more chance to struggle and really emphasizes the thickness of the bog, gives the viewer the time to enjoy it.

It looks like poor Felicia is indeed going down for the count,... and I must say, I love how the surface of the bog makes it look like it is really and actively sucking her down.

And, there she goes, deep down into the mire. The quicksand surface immediately around her hair has a very unique and active-looking texture, as if it has allowed its consistency to loosen up and be more fluid to better accept the sinking Felicia. Tiangtam's detail work on her hair spread out across the muddy trap is beautiful... you can sense how those long stands are going to be slowly drawn towards the forming crater, following their owner into marshy depths.

Interesting how the quicksand's surface a few feet out from where Felicia has gone under is starting to firm up and become lighter in color, as if the mire has already begun the process of resetting the trap for the next victim.

Thanks for sharing!

Indeed, poor Felicia swallowed up by the quicksand, but still desperately reaching up with that one hand,... even at this point she's still not giving up. Yes, I love how dynamic the surface looks, with varied textures at different points, closer in it definitely looks more fluid and yielding, perhaps due to her struggling beneath it? I love how it looks at the base of her hair, almost like some monstrous living thing's lips slowly slurping up the remnants of her hair. It may seem rather simple, but there is alot of subtle movement going on, the last of Felicia being trailing behind her down into the sandy depths, and I think TT conveys all that beautifully, yet again.

I thought that was a nice touch indeed, from the look of things it seems like mere minutes after the last of her vanishes into the sands the surface will be reset, as though she had never been there,... ready and waiting for the next person to stumble into it and join her in its depths.
