If there's anything Ashton loves more than having his love button pushed, it's dressing up and presenting himself to his chosen playmate. All the time spent grooming, preparing, picking out the perfect outfit, and taking time to put it on just right... that's a special kind of heart-racing foreplay for him. It's that anticipation, the desire to be desired. Maybe it's the show-horses in his bloodline, but exhibitionist doesn't do him justice.
Oh, and you'd better do something about that leaky faucet.
It's been a struggle to adjust to digital when my background has been almost entirely traditional. If you look through the gallery up to this point, you'll see the rocky journey. Trying to make Photoshop work like traditional media just wasn't right. More than that, I totally underestimated how much I would need to recalibrate my hands to make the same lines on the tablet as I would have on paper. The work so far looks like what I was making 15 years ago. It's bizarre to see.
I've kinda white-knuckled trying to transfer, but the last speed painting broke me. It was just not working from start to finish. So, I threw everything out the window and gave up trying to adapt what I have always done. I've been blitzing sketch pages and painting tests to figure out a whole new approach. I've dug into a bunch of other digital artists in the fandom to study their processes and the qualities of their work I find most appealing.
My goal now is to create my digital style, and I like the direction this is going. I'd like to think this is a successful upgrade from the previous painting, and this is something I can repeat. It's a lot faster and a hell of a lot more intuitive. It's also a ton of fun!
