Naughty Bits Comic Art! Ukyo: Sleepaway Chef (Patreon)

Ukyo embraces her fortune- good AND bad! Yet all is not as it seems!

REMINDER: New year! New comfier policy!

Now that all members of Ranmabooks.com are also patrons here, there is no reason to delay posting these Naughty Bits remasters at the Ranmabooks.com galleries.

Going forward, all remasters (be it pinup or comic) will be posted at this Patreon and Ranmabooks.com simultaneously. The previously remastered catalog shall slowly make its way over there- as time permits- between the creation of new RHB projects.

Variants include: Text & Clean Editions.

Remastering details:

Remastered in UHD.

Numerous splotch & noise cleanup.

Reviewing the original production files, we found that a lot of the creative concept didn't make it into the final art page. This was likely the result of limited time and not enough art frames to flesh out the whole tale.

We could have simply put out a remaster of the original page, but the RHB team decided to go the remake route instead. New panels- including additional character art- have been created for the purpose of completing this story.

Ranma was only seen within Ukyo's fantasy in the original comic page, but now he responds to Ukyo's crisis.

On the subject of Ukyo's Ranma fantasy, the erotic art of this panel was meant to be grounded- on the actual floor- instead of "floating in the abstract". A new background has been prepared to support this original vision.

Empty/dead panel space has been eliminated wherever possible throughout the page.

The portrait layout has been changed to landscape for the accommodation of new art panels.

New Tendo house exterior and interior background renders have been created to show the damage caused by Tsubasa's ouster. This was impractical back in the day, but is finally obtainable using our new background tools which can display damage.

All Dialog Balloons and text have been redone, which should result in easier reading.

Ukyo now clarifies why she's sleeping over at the Tendo residence. Ukyo's pining for Ranma is also given a resolution. The team's hope is that the final presentation will be much more satisfying.

Since the old line art no longer matches the final presentation, we've deleted that and replaced it with a new "clean" edition.

We debated whether to show Ukyo in sleeping attire, but as she was still wearing her blue shirt in the original art while laying down, it was more pragmatic for us to remain consistent with that. Arguably, Ukyo could have dressed soon after Ranma dispatched Tsubasa in any case.

The original editions are also included in the attached archive for comparison so that viewers can see all of these improvements.

Until next time patrons, thanks for reading and supporting the Naughty Bits project! With your continued support, in time we’ll fulfill our mission to release all RHB art in the best quality possible. 🧡
