    Boarding School Queen - Chapter 1 Artwork!

    OK, did I mention I'm quite a visual sort of guy? So I guess it had to happen eventually... I finally succumbed to the temptation to add some supplementary images to my ongoing BSQ story series.

    I've been working with Felix, a fantastic artist who exhibits on Deviant and has been busy up to now drawing spine-cracking primal drow fights and other such female wrestling exotica. felix-firefox (Felix Novara Andrian) - DeviantArt
    So, I decided to start with a nice title page for 'Chapter 1 - The New Girl'. Beyond this, Felix is also interested in illustrating assorted scenes from some of the actual fights so we'll see how that goes.


    Spoiler alert (maybe/maybe not)

    I guess a spoiler alert of sorts may be in order for regular readers... as the artists impressions of the girls might not tally with your own imaginings; however Felix drew these closely to my original specs, and I'm very pleased with the results.

    The attachment shows our four main characters resplendent in their uniforms. Due to hostboard data limits its a lot smaller than the original but still not bad to look at.

    If this generates sufficient interest I just might decide to post the nude versions in a day or two...

    No, I don't think there will be interest in posting a nude version of the picture here...

    Instead, I think there would be enormous interest if you put the high quality image at for example image bam (like I do with my custom video previews), and than post the link here. This way we can see the drawings much better

    P.s. Just kidding r, you know, despite the lower quality, you could do both. In case something happens with image bam, you still have the smaller pictures at the forum servers.

    Looks great! I'd definitely be interested in seeing more illustrations (and with less clothing, lol), though there is one tiny issue with the preview pic... aren't Susan and Amita supposed be more busty than the other two girls? The buttoned vs unbuttoned shirts may of course distort the perception of breast size, and I trust our illustrious illustrator will take the difference into account if/when moving into more... risqu?e images.

    Hey, thanks S - luckily I know when you are 'only joking' but - just in case - don't whatever you do scroll down to the bottom of the thread when I post the naked images, ok?

    Personally, I don't like using image bam due to the annoying spam but I'll post here for now and see how we go. Longer term, my idea is to reissue the stories in a more consolidated format with the illustrations. Kind of a souvenir edition if you will.

    Glad you like it and, in response to your question, arguably the buttoned shirts have made a difference: perhaps Susan and Amita being more modest about concealing their bigger racks?!

    However, when we do finally view the unclothed versions we will need to bear in mind that Amita and Susan:
    1) are standing further back (which introduces some perspective)
    2) are meant to be bustier than the other girls but not gi-normous, or out of proportion to their overall frames.
    3) their breasts are natural, not augmented and I generally don't do monster tits so didn't ask the illustrator for this.

    The sharp eyed may also note that the body hair won't quite match the story but that's okay - I wanted the pics to be moderately tasteful as well as mildly provocative: a teaser to lead into the stories if you will.

    Well, I guess 6 likes from fine upstanding members of this community, plus two friendly comments could be construed as sufficient interest so here goes... hope you enjoy the overall scene.

    What spam do you mean, I never encountered spam. Only 1 commercial at the beginning. But when I put the linked images here, I don't believe we have problem any spam show up on the forum?

    No, you're right it doesn't seem to cause problems on the forum. Its just that I've always been wary of using sites linked to porn ads as - touch wood - I have never had any problems caused by viruses on my computer. Image bam may be a safe site but call me unadventurous if you will.

    The good news is that the images on hostboard seem more than adequate to look at, judging by the feedback so far.

    Now, I will let you into my longer term plan, which is that I may start re-editing the stories and publishing them with full-size illustrations, not for profit, but in order to recover some of the cost of commissioning the artwork itself. The good news is that Hostboard readers will still get the stories here first for free. Then there will be the option of purchasing, for a nominal price of a few euros/dollars, a souvenir PDF edition of the whole of Chapter 1 with a full colour cover, plus original illustrations inside showing some of the key scenes from the major fights that happened in this chapter: Amita vs Susan, Helen vs Mhairi etc.

    Great artwork! I would be interested in purchasing fully illustrated versions of your stories.

    Thanks fett,

    This may well become a possibility in future, although commissioning such art doesn't come cheap.

    My longer term plan to help finance this type of illustration is to repackage my stories into omnibus editions that will be re-edited and come with additional illustrations. The example you see would be the title page, for example, but illustrated fight scenes will be included within.

    I'm aware that sexfighting 'novels' have been published on Amazon and other sites but nothing quite like the BSQ series in this format as far as I'm aware.

    I don't expect to become a millionaire from the proceeds but it should help defray the cost of illustrations!

    Thanks again,

    Ragnar0k
