g4 :: The Results Are In - The Fanboys Win! by Saiai

With my spiel about romance in vore completed, I find I have a teeny bit of extra time available to me - and hey, I didn't comment on your cute Misato / Ritsuko picture, so I figure I'd better try to bring my tab up in the name of equity - though I can only lay scant claim to such a virtue. Haaah...I can almost imagine Rei's line as she herself would speak it - both the American and the Japanese voice actors, but then again, I've watched the series so many times that many of the lines are stuck in my head. A beautiful picture, as usual, Sai'ai. I especially love the little effect you've got - the bit of breath exhaled by Rei - and the way Asuka's face is apparently pressed up against the alimentary wall. I do have a couple criticisms of the picture, of course, and I apologize in advance if I seem harsh - I do love your art, I'm just less reserved with my friends than I am with strangers. First off, the feet of the plug suit. They look more sock-like than they do on an actual canonical plug-suit, less defiend - and you've got the points that represent toes in different spots on each foor. The right foot - left from the viewer's perspective - has the larger toe where I'd imagine it should be, if you were going for depicting the plug-suit as having sock-like feet instead of shoe-like feet. On the left foot, however - and this could, I suppose, just be perspective - the big toe looks like it's closer to the middle. The position of Rei's hand seems a bit odd, as well - the hand suspended over the stomach. I can tell, of course, what she's trying to do, but whether because of the way the fingers appear, or simply the idea of white-glove-on-white-suit, it looks more like she's got her hand a bit above her stomach, as opposed to against it. Asuka's position, as well, while quite visually amusing, looks awkward and even a bit distorted. I can see her upper body, curved quite nicely, but then ...I see one leg, I see two legs, and they don't seem to be in any position that would neccesitate Asuka talking in a rather worried tone, instead of screaming in agony about shattered femurs. The sense of perspective granted by the left arm - right to the viewer - is nice, but the hand itself looks a bit off. Or rather, the finger does, but then again, that's a difficult angle to depict, and it's a really nit-picky thing, so it doesn't really detract from the picture. It was an interesting stylistic choice to depict the legs of the plug suit on the back as black, and leave out the curved bars on the thighs - but it was a perfectly valid one, as was the depiction of sock-feet instead of shoe-feet, since I'm sure there are different models of plug suit. The criticisms aside, this is a lovely picture, and pretty darn funny, too. You did a fantastic job with the plug suit's accoutrements and the overall shape of it, as well as, of course, the character's respective anatomies. Thank you for making this picture! Oh, and by the way: No matter who had triumphed in this little struggle, 'the fanboys' would've won, as I'm sure you can imagine. I would've rooted for Asuka, m'self, but that's only because I'm biased towards Asuka by past events, ehe...
