WITH EYES OF GLASS: Balcony Illustration Insight (Patreon)

Vrrrrrrrr. Ksh! Bleep?!

Insight Function: [ACTIVE]

One of the most phenomenal things about working with artists is seeing their methods and WIPs develop; and when we released the announcement illustration for With Eyes of Glass, I just knew I'd eventually want to set up a little .gif animation to showcase every step of the process. Box is an incredible artist, that much is clear. The level of detail in the final piece is mindbending, I fucking love it.

[Kendall] is sliding her hand down Locke's panties, and [Locke's] long legs [when combined] with the perspective create a nice geometry. Then in the background you have the buildings that almost seem to suck her into the void, to give a sense of vertigo.

I like to think in geometrical terms.

And of course, [Kendall's] other hand's on Locke's neck, which is thematically relevant. As for where [Kendall] is coming from, I'm thinking of having an open door into a dark room right behind Locke's chair, so she could be emerging from the dark.

I had a lot of back and forth on the background, and ultimately I didn't want to have a slick glass and neon cyberpunk city, I wanted something more claustrophobic and dirty, with a touch of gothic.

We wanted this illustration to feel sexy yet claustrophobic, like a wet dream that takes your breath away: and I feel like we were able to get that down.

I hope you've been enjoying these snippets of concept art and insights--we're going to be sharing the first page of With Eyes of Glass very soon: next week!

So be sure to check back in...
