Art feedback: part two

Hi all! 

I mentioned in my earlier post that I had 2 artists doing trial commissions for game-two. As your feedback was so helpful for the mercenary image, I've asked the other artist if I can share their ongoing work. This is a bit of a larger commission, so there are 4 images here (1 incomplete) with a couple more still ongoing.

Last time, I posted with the aim of narrowing down what wasn't working in the image. This time, I have no such reservations and I'm inclined to accept the completed Ailwin/Alvie images as they are here. Well, a few of them need to be converted to have a transparent bg, but that's the only change I've requested.

However, the commission is still ongoing, so there's scope to request tweaks if I agree with any suggestions for changes. Don't feel obliged to find problems if the images seem fine to you though!

By the way, the large size of these images is for future-proofing and to support players on giant monitors - in the game itself the whole image will fit on-screen. On a 1920x1080 screen that means they'll be shrunk to 1/4 this size in the game so it may be worth taking a look at the image when its sized to all fit on your screen at once.

I'll post the full character bio below, but to explain these images:

Ailwin.png - Standard character image for Ailwin. This is shown on the charcter screen (or will be, once that part of the UI is complete) and during quests if he's selected for a challenge.

Alvie.png - Standard character image, shown during quests and in the first stages of sex before clothes come off. Alvie is the gender-bent version of Ailwin.

sex_image.png - Character image shown during sex. This will be alongside various other adult images which are not complete enough atm to be posted.

pregnant.png - Pregnant character image for Alvie. This is incomplete, but I felt it was far enough along for you to look at. The pregnant image is shown after a quest for any characters who got knocked up, and shows them in their "everyday" clothes rather than whatever they wear while adventuring. For Alvie this isn't a huge difference, but it might be a big deal for armoured fighter types.

Bio and class information. This is intended to be shown in-game, by the way, so feel free to comment on my writing!

Minstrel class overview:

Travelling musicians and entertainers, minstrels are rarely rich but their fame far exceeds their wealth. Peasants throughout the realm await the visit of their favourite minstrels with bated breath and powerful lords compete to hire the most prestigious performers for their feasts and balls.

Nevertheless, some minstrels will move from their celebrated profession to the much-reviled ranks of the adventurers. Why? Sometimes for wealth or to escape from personal difficulties, but often to sate the spirit of adventure that led them to become minstrels in the first place.

Moreover, minstrels are given more leeway than most other adventurers when it comes to things like having a half-human child. Such a thing might cause an honest harlot to be shunned by his or her peers, but minstrels are expected to act somewhat outside social conventions and so dalliances with monsters are accepted as simple quirks and eccentricities.

Minstrels are poor fighters but their former profession grants them silver tongues that can charm the treasure from the pockets of many a grouchy creature. Popular among their companions, they can lift the party's spirits over a crackling campfire and so many captains of adventuring groups will seek to flatter a minstrel into their service.

Ailwin (Male Minstrel):

Background:

Ailwin was, for a time, one of the most popular minstrels in Damfrith's northern province of Pineleigh, feted by burghers and nobles, idolised by the peasantry.

Tall, charming, fit and extremely good-looking, he enjoyed his popularity to the full. Not one to look further ahead than the next moment, he revelled in a string of love-affairs with little thought to their consequences.

His blissful times would be cut short by just such a consequence. Caught in flagrante delicto with the daughter of the powerful Lord Hammarch, he found himself facing a terrible fate for a man like himself: marriage.

Instead, he chose to flee, paying criminals in the Capital to keep him hidden. Soon his purse ran empty and, still hunted by his would-be father-in-law's men and now badly in debt to brutish leg-breakers, he chose to join the adventurer's guild in search of discreet coin.

Alvie (Female Minstrel, the gender-bent version of Ailwin)

Background:

Ailwin had often mused over which of his instruments gave the most pleasure to women. A brush with transformative magic removed one such instrument from the minstrel's possession, rendering the question somewhat moot. Having swapped breeches for skirts and baritone for soprano, Ailwin now goes by the name of Alvie and will never again put a star-struck milkmaid at risk of a swollen belly.

Alvie was not surprised to discover that she was beautiful: how could she be otherwise, given the gorgeousness of her male precursor? She is, however, surprised to find herself affected by new and unfamiliar urges towards the male sex. Her life as Ailwin has left her well-acquainted with how much a woman can enjoy an intimate encounter, but surely the brutish attentions of the wild's monstrous inhabitants could never compare with the peerless loving of her former male self.
