Done with Influencing - July 2023 Patron Request

Played around with a more rural Stepford style. My first sketches had her in heels and oven mitts, holding a casserole. I then realized I've drawn that exact same trope several times.
Hope you like!

Lol, no worries, I know I'm in the minority for this sort of thing preferring dark hair to blonde.
Sortimid
I was hoping you'd like it! It's been a while since I worked on one of your ideas so I'd forgotten your hair preferences 😅
Sortimid
Thanks Blarg!!
Ranger Ridiculous
I think you found a really good way to thread that needle actually. My only complaint is that she went from dark haired to blonde instead of the other way, but that's a personal preference lol.

Great job Sortimid. Love the color progression and the subtler/coloured line work ❤️

Thanks! I tried to balance a few different constraints: 1. "offline", 2. "stepfordian", 3. I wanted her to be self-sufficient. I preferred not to create a story about an influencer giving up her job to become someone's bimbo wife. It felt like the kind of thing that could go viral in a negative way. I'd also rather avoid the whole tradwife can of worms. The result is not "pure" Stepford but I think it's close enough to qualify.

It works really well! I also love the touch with her headbands slowly changing and eventually becoming a headscarf, it's a fun detail

She looks more like a farm MILF then a Stepford MILF. Still looks good.

Been there before

In my mind, the thing she wasn't enjoying was chasing views. After all, even the milkmaid outfit is technically retro. Still, I see where you're coming from. I didn't know that about polls!

Maybe but that line in the middle "focus on things I enjoy" just makes it feel like she didn't enjoy the clothes because she ends up as a milkmaid. Maybe it's just the way my mind works. My biggest problem with the update is that you can see the results of a poll before selecting an option. So now I'll see that my ideas aren't getting voted for before I vote for it.

😂 Sometimes I go for realism, sometimes I just say "fuck it, porn logic".

Thank you!
Sortimid
Thanks Smokey! I tried to have her outfits travel back in time.
Sortimid
Yeah... I don't mind their new logo, I wasn't a fan of the previous one, either, but usability wise, it's not great. I'd say she does love vintage clothes, seeing as how she keeps wearing them even after giving up influencing.

Nobel prize to whoever figures out a way to target weight gain to specific areas as well as she did.

Love the character design and colors with this one!

If the lack of views was a problem then vintage clothing wasn't really her passion. It was just her tool for clicks. As an aside, fuck this new Patreon update.

Ahhh this is so fun! I love the shading, and the choice to mix up the exact style of 1950s fashion she ends up in. Absolutely amazing <3
