Although I'm not a fan of over large bellies, this story was pretty good.

Posted by lagomorphaX3 4 months ago Report

I prefer smaller tums too but it's good to overindulge every once in a while.

Posted by Wolfsage 4 months ago Report

Sure, and I can certainly appreciate humor behind it. But I prefer them being a bit smaller.

She just keeps growing and growing and growing. Kind of like a certain pink rabbit.

Wonder if or when that belly will cave in?

Posted by lagomorphaX3 4 months ago Report

It's amazing what you can do with five mythic batteries in one tight package.

Heck of a Christmas gift; whoever said big things come in small packages has obviously never met Kalia! XD

My favorite part of the expressions is, as always, the eyes; between the narrowed look, the lip-licking and the shadowing on her face, it manages to make her look both smugly taunting and heavily power-drunk (pun intended), like she’s moved beyond even the ambition it represents and into just glorifying her own fullness and satisfaction (to Demi, to the viewer, to all the above, etc). Heck, I might be reading too much into it but the way her brows arch gives me the impression that she isn’t even consciously being cruel or malicious - this is just *her* now; this big belly packed full of her sisters and all their power is her new normal now, and she’s got no reservations on showing Demi how satisfying she finds it.

With the body-language, I like how it contrasts the previous two pics in what seems like things coming full circle (in more ways than one). In the past two images her posture was leaning forward or back as the weight of her growing gut forced her to compromise around her center of mass - now she’s standing straight and carrying the weight loud and proud, even as it starts to overshadow the rest of her body. And while I do admittedly miss being able to see Kalia’s hips, it does still highlight how she’s almost all tum now/how her appetite has basically started encroaching on everything else. Also, maybe I’m just overthinking it but the little bit of underboob Kalia’s now showing gives me the impression her top must have gotten a bit stretched from the five big meals she gobbled up across the series; I feel like you don’t see little details like that get accounted for often enough ^_^.

Last but not least; The Gut. With a capital “G”, because it’s now officially big enough to deserve it XD. It’s literally the center of the picture at this point and the five glowing symbols on her belly-seal will basically ensure it’ll be the first thing anyone’s attention is grabbed by even if the size alone somehow fails to do that. Additionally, the way the seal’s design seems slightly oriented downward helps give the illusion her belly’s weight and size is making it dip towards the ground a little, just slight enough to imply it’s eaten up every inch of her abdomen from her pelvis to the space below her ribsIt might be me, but the tum-physics from previous pics seems a bit more subtle also as the mass continues to mount - like how the way she can pat it with only light bouncing and swaying instead of it sloshing and swinging, emphasizing that it’s more like a big taunt drum packed full of “her” power. Also, something else I realized in hindsight; it seems like the white highlight around Kalia’s outline and the sheen across her skin have both been getting progressively brighter - which I like, if true, as it makes it seem like she’s glowing (literally or metaphorically or both) from how far she’s come in accomplishing her ambitions and the more comfortable she gets with them. Couple that with all the other stuff I mentioned and, at least to me, it gives the impression that Kalia’s basically indistinguishable from the symbol for her gluttony and greed - she basically IS that big round bulge now and her body’s just something that carries it, the grace and poise now coming from owning that gut full-time instead of trying to compensate for it.

Closing off the ramble of glowing praise XD; Overall, I love how the pic basically shouts “penultimate” for lack of better terms - even though she’s still got one Goddess left to gobble up, this is Kalia having finally accomplished an ages-long desire to not only show up all of her sisters but outright dominate them. For me at least, it gives me the vibe that in Kalia’s mind there are no more “five goddesses” - that in her mind, it’s just one Goddess (her) with five batteries in her belly and that getting past Demi to claim her niece’s power over creation is just a formality at this point. And while I have no idea yet whether you’ve stated plans to either stop here or draw Kalia after consuming said niece, I can say that that I’ve still enjoyed every bit of the ride so much that I wouldn’t mind either way! ^_^.

I was super happy with the way the expression turned out here, especially since it was done on the first try! Given how close to the finish line Kalia is, I'd say she's earned to be a little smug. I always loved how gluttony was never in her personality but she slowly but surely grew to love it both metaphorically as well as physically. There's some delicious irony that a goddess of darkness can be corrupted herself.

The glowing was intentional since the very beginning because I wanted to reinforce Kalia rise to power with more subtlety. I also wanted to challenge myself by limiting the coloring and in turn, pull the focus to key parts of the picture. It gives a chance for people to notice smaller details like the underboob you mentioned.

Lastly, I'm pleased to announce that I do have one last picture planned to wrap up this series! Look forward to seeing it in the future! Thanks again for the commentary!

You know, I never noticed the glow until MrMetroid pointed it out. Another great touch, lago.

Definitely looking forward to the final pic!

WOOOOO ENCORE

Posted by Spider8Fiend 4 months ago Report

Looks like the middle sigil is the only one left to be lit. Who else is left?

Posted by MrMetroid 4 months ago Report

That'd be Erra; a 6th Goddess that the other five created to hold the Element of Creation (the same element Kalia was originally born to receive before she proved too irresponsible and un-empathetic for the sister's mom to give it to her). So she's technically a daughter the five created together and Kalia's niece by extension. Though she was hidden away due to being too young to really control her power, so she wasn't counted with the other five.

Nobodyman only relatively recently released a reference for her, I believe.
