Weekly Headline: #4 September, 2020
Added 2020-09-28 03:59:53 +0000 UTCHi everyone, Hi everyone, so long time no see you!
Complex150 fully came back to online!
I replaced her PC soon after we delivered the September reward as we announced our last weekly update.
As you can easily guess, many unexpected occur during those processes but the biggest trouble I faced was my PC monitor didn't work via HDMI connection though it has the connector! I spent almost a week until I concluded the source of the trouble was my PC monitor, not my new Mac, and it forced me to purchase a new PC monitor in the end...
Another huge mistake I made was I totally forgot to pass the September reward materials to Itchika before I started replacement so Ichika couldn't post updates or tweets so much until my new environment became available.
Anyway, we came back finally and became active again to keep you guys updated!
Additional materials of Mitsue photoset, for Red-Beryl Tier and above
As we quickly announced here, we added 3 images to Mitsue photoset. Did you get what those materials are? They are the mockup of the physical photobook!
Member survey we held last July says the most coveted physical reward is a photobook so we started planning to make it. Maybe cosplayer photobook is not supposed to have any editorial designing, but we thought it might be a bit boring so made those pieces to make our photobook real magazine like.
Unfortunately looks Mitsue is not everyone's choice though we do love her and enjoyed the shoot. So we may not include her in our future photobook. But We believe those pieces gonna be some help for you to see if you'd like to have a conventional photobook that just showcases many photos with no editorial twist or magazine-style like we made.
Which style do you prefer?
To Patrons in Complex150 Tier and Itchika Tier:
There are nudity materials in the mockup so we only sent them to Patrons in Red-Beryl Tier above. But we posted censored materials to Twitter. Please take a look our Twitter (Looking back from 'Media' tab would be the easiest) if you like
Preview for October will come up soon!
September became the quietest month because I took a long time to refresh my work environment and we even haven't posted any previews of the October reward ><
But don't worry! We are fully in October reward mode and will soon post previews of Photoset A, B, and Fanservice set. Photoset A is Riamu Yumemi from IDOLM@STER, Photoset B is a super-strong fetish, and Fanservice set is Shuten-Douji from FateGO!
Hope you are looking forward to seeing them!
Comments
Sincerely apologize we totally missed out you gave detailed feedback!
2020-10-25 10:01:22 +0000 UTCI think the photobook mock-up is fun and captures the feel of a UK Men's Magazine. Those magazines were (are they still around?) fighting for attention in newsstands. The people, myself included, who want a photobook from you are already captivated by Itchika and by Kuma's photography. I want a beautiful Complex150 photobook that I can leave on a coffee table! Something that is both art and erotica. Something that does the photographs justice. For the cover, you could do a playful take on the black censor bars in Japan. Have a black background and a large photo of Itchika with numerous horizontal black bars (in an artistic pattern) passing across the image. Underneath that large image, have three long rectangular cutouts of Itchika's eyes (or some other feature) taken from other photos. You don't have to tease that you can see more of the images inside because you will have already sparked interest and curiosity! For the other pages, you could continue the black background. Pick out a color that's important for each set. Pick a pattern inspired by each set. Create a border or feature for each set (over the black background) with that special one color and pattern. Finally, include some notes and insights from both Itchika and Kuma. Show off all the inspiration and creativity that went into the photography!
