Amir's CG Process - NSFW
Added 2022-07-30 14:23:02 +0000 UTCWith his chapter release looming I wanted to get into the process for mapping out and creating Amir's CG. If you want to be surprised by his CG in game, you might want to save this post for later!
If you wanna see all the behind the scenes juice before the game's ready, please continue!
So right away I knew I wanted to do something pretty explicit for Amir. He's very forward and confident and ADORES flustering people so giving him the honor of having TCM's first Junk Shown slot really seemed appropriate.
CGs are one of the last things I plan out for the chapter in question as I feel like I want to maximized its tie in to the narrative and I tend to make many changes up until the last minute. Like with Mori, I had a specific story beat in mind with Amir and thought emphasizing it with a beautiful full color illustration would be the most impactful.

This is the first sketch I made, over a pose reference I found on a stock image site. My notes on the side read: "I can't draw head angles but I think it would be pretty hot if he was looking up slightly at the view through half lidded eyes / shitty little smirk mandatory / tangled in that purple robe / not fully sure what to do with his left hand, originally thought it could be holding his head but i don't really want to obscure his dick / amir takes up more screen space than mori so the background can be more broad stroked/less detailed."
Also, the revelation that Amir's dick is also heavily pierced to match the rest of him finally comes into play here. We joked about him wearing a lot of sheer haute couture fashion where is dick is just... visible but within the game canon we haven't really had a chance to show this off yet- esp as adding genitals to the sprites themselves has a really weird and unsexy awkwardness about it against the game UI.
Stay tuned because next time I'll show you what Atlas did with my awful sketch :D
