Spoiled - February 2019 Patron Request
🕑 Added 2019-02-22 19:16:29 +0000 UTCSensitive, intellectual girl becomes bitchy blonde airhead
I was excited to work on this month's request. I'd wanted to do my own version of Dynamoob's Trophy Milf every since I first saw it (way back in August). I knew I wanted to dive deeper into the psychology and approach luxury as a bit of a slippery slope. I even did research! I read the outline of 50 Shades of Grey (which is why she's a journalist), along with reddit posts about spoiled rich children (where I got the wrong SUV color) and blog posts about lazy trophy wives leaving their careers.
There's a few things of note in the pencils. First of all, it's all in a single row. Working horizontally makes it a lot easier to keep track of gradual changes, relative heights etc. Unfortunately, it also leads to unwieldy wide files, so I decided on a vertical format for the final image.
Also, in every step but the first, her legs are much longer in the pencils. I reined in my tendency towards leggy women during inking in pursuit of more realistic proportions. Her braid in step 4 was sacrificed at the altar of TF Process, thus making her hair length part of the transformation. Its placement right at the armpit was also a bit unfortunate. The lines about "a tiny favor and "you shouldn't have" were added later, to flesh out the transformation and add some foreshadowing (though they also make it a bit sadder?).
Aside from the format, the biggest difference is in her final outfit. I went all out for step 5's charity gala, and had nowhere to go for the finale. My first attempt was trashier, more "spoiled princess" than "trophy wife". I got as far as colors before I decided it didn't work:
Part of the solution was to make her penultimate outfit less revealing, by lengthening the skirt and covering her midsection.
Below, I've included a version of the sequence without some color overlays. It's less atmospheric, but it's easier to follow the changes in every stage:
Finally, before I leave you with some reference pictures, I'd like to present you with my very first sketch, Moe from the Three Stooges:
Hope you enjoyed this month's patron request! Thank you so much for the support <3

Man, this progression is amazing! I canβt really put it any better than to say I love it! Great work!

You're very welcome. Also, don't think I didn't notice some of the direct outfit translations in certain panels ;)
Sortimid
I can see the parallels, but I'd forgotten about "The Secretary"! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

I can't help but suspect that in the final panel her boyfriend/husband is having an affair :P

You've told me before that you'd been trying to figure out an angle inspired by "Trophy MILF" so I knew it would be a matter of time till we saw something on your feed, and I recognized this immediately when reading the first panel. I love the expanded interpretation of the concept; the little story inferences made, physical changes and body language both drastic and subtle, and going deeper into the gradation of personality. I don't know if it was intentional, but I also saw notes of my short story "The Secretary" in there as well. Well done, instant fav!

Ooh, this is really good! I love the slow progression towards her being so selfish and spoiled. Itβs really well done!

I really like this - the progression, the appearance, the dialogue. It works so well together, especially how you talk us through your decision-making process.
