My latest commission is already complete!! This one was again for ohstalon06, who requested to see a two-character tickle torture scene featuring Negi Springfield of Negima!, bound beside Sasami Iwakura, sporting a look more akin to her appearance in Sasami: Magical Girls Club. These two young magic-users seem to have gotten themselves into quite the predicament, with their bare feet at the mercy of two assailants and their feathers! Perhaps Negi was about to establish a magical contract with Sasami before something went wrong and they were captured? There's really no telling what got them into this mess, but magic or not, I don't think there's an easy way out of it!
This is a colorful one, isn't it? I gave it the full color treatment in exchange for the commissioner having to wait so long. Looks like that request was the more popular one of all the others... Makes the work take a bit longer, but I'm pulling through! That's another commission down, and only six more left! I can totally do this!

Don't know Negi but everyone knows the adorable little Sasami, and my god she's been mobbed by our community X3 Very nice soft colors here, makes for a warm and cute atmosphere. Clever looking rope ties as well, you've put effort into those. And I have the strangest feeling...I recognise those hands torturing them. Perhaps they're paying the penalty? ;D
1. Brief tickle in Tenchi Universe
2. Brief tickle in No Need For Tenchi manga
3. - 4. Tickle-tortured in the Magical Girl Pretty Sammy OAV, along with its Light Novel adaptation.
5. Tickle-threatened by Ryo-Ohki in Magical Project S
6. Tickle-tortured in Magical Project S
7. Brief tickle in Sasami: Magical Girls Club
Poor girl can't seem to get away from it X3 Here's hoping there's a moment in the new series.
When it's not zoomed in the pic looks like inking wouldn't even make a difference. Looking at it up close however the lines have kind of a Kirby's Epic Yarn thing going on.
The sheer detail on the coloring job is kind of mind-blowing considering how much you undersell the quality of a sketch commission.
I had a nagging feeling that something was off about the pic, then I remembered that their toes were tied in the original rough sketch. I've grown to like seeing that (cause of you) but not having them tied is fine too.
Megucasmagic users in anime! But I appreciate that you would want to praise me at all, thank you!That said though. You deserve the praise. It looks fantastic and you are one of the tickling pioneers. Been around a long time. Given back so much.
With beeps and tones from telephones and things moved like i snail.
Back when AOL would say. "you've got mail."
When few and far between. Drawing greats with pen in hand. 10 second clips seemed so grand.
We were there. I a quiet observer. To a pioneer and master server.
Times have changed in this digital age. Streaming is not just dreaming and Smart phones are the rage.
But ajusting for time. Keeping the kids in line. The community is now so mainstream. And though it may seem. That our family has up and gone. With memories of tickling on the lawn.
Still on you draw for the generation. To awe and inspire the next sensation.
Relics we few who still remain. But our love for tickling remains the same.
Definitely an adorable picture to be sure, Sasami in particular, it's nice to see another /mf picture not only from you, but in general really since they seem a rarity of sorts. Which brings me to a question which has just come to mind. In the past you mentioned that while it's not your personal cup of tea, you've no problem drawing /m for a commissioner, does that extend to pure /m or do you like to also have a female in the picture to work with? I know you're still very busy working on those remaining commissions and probably afterwards would like time to yourself. Just that I quite like that rendition of Tai you did recently and so the mind begins to ponder what could be sometime down the road.
Also, I can't help but feel that feathers are for some reason quite fitting here, maybe their innocence as the stereotypical tickle tool.
To answer your question, while /m isn't exactly my thing, I can appreciate it and understand why a lot of people like it. In recent years I've been able to see some of these pieces and mentally put myself into the situation, and dang, it can be pretty fun! Putting a lady in the picture doesn't necessarily make it more "appealing", since in all honesty I'm simply fulfilling a request for the commissioner, who paid me real money to do this in the first place. But that doesn't necessarily mean I won't do purely /m content in the future, perhaps even voluntarily... It may not be as well-received by most, and it wouldn't be a regular thing, but if I get a fun or hot little idea, I just might do something with it! If it gets a little too steamy, I may not be able to share it on deviantART... But you know where to go if I do~
Thanks for the comments! I really do appreciate it!!
Thanks for answering my question. For me personally it's just that I may find certain characters, whether they be male or female, attractive and thus possibly begin to fantasize about what they may be hiding away in their footwear or what kind of ticklish predicaments they could find themselves in.
At any rate I was just checking since I do like your style and figured I'd just get the facts in case you're ever open again and I've the means and the opportunity to possibly commission something. (Though for myself I think it'll be harder to actually nail down a character and scenario in the first place) Interesting to hear that you may decide to do /m of your own accord in the future, definitely has my curiosity piqued as to who you may end up choosing.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to answer my question!
I'll bet they have, so I'll just emphasize the point by saying; It's great your back!
