This topic is for general discussion about the future of the Lingerie Thingerie Calendar.

Primarily talk about the unfinished pictures!

Some things worth discussing about:

Requests and suggestions for colour themes (read more here)
Requests and suggestions for content (a popular item or location missing?)
Ideas for bonus material (only one page worth space for that!)
Other opinions or ideas about the calendar layout or content.

Miscellaneous info:

Release schedule: At the end of 2008, or early 2009.
Content: 12 images (one for each month), a cover image, and a back page with info on the calendar, plus any bonus material.
Distribution: Through deviantART prints shop (direct purchase or via HitmanN.)
Price: $19-20 (USD) (tentative)
Other info: two of the finished images will only be available in the calendar itself. Only previews and selection voting are available to the public at first.

Approximate completion status:

64% (9 out of 12+2 pages)

I'll start the discussion by mentioning my current plans for the back page. The bonus material could be a view (from air perhaps) of the entire mansion where all the locations in the pictures are. Small arrows could perhaps be pointing in the places where each girl's 'photo' was taken.

I like this idea because it
- Gives the mansion an identity of sorts
- Adds a passive story on the background

However, couple of not-so good sides of it are
- Lack of 'sexy'. It's informative and entertaining, but it's not sexy.
- Many arrows would be pointing at windows, walls and roofs, since many locations are inside.
- My architectural skills. It might end up looking funny.

Opinions? Other ideas?

[entropiCCycles]

The architecture idea would be pretty nice.

Another idea I was thinking of is to have all twelve characters in a group picture. However, that would be quite an undertaking, and I'm not sure if such a picture would be advisable.

So, Lingerie Thingerie 5 is in the process to be finished. What do you think would be the appropriate colour theme for the pic? I can still change the colour of the items according to the colour theme, if needed. I'd say brown could do it. Actually, I think the hair colour should be the indicator of the colour theme in most cases, unless the lingerie contains a lot of some colour. Although there are other lingerie thingerie pics with brown or brown-ish hair, I think that rather than thinking ahead, I should just choose a theme if it's not taken, and consider altering the future pics' colours if needed.

On another note, I've used slightly larger eyes on most of the latest Lingerie Thingerie pics, compared to the originals. If I were to shrink the eye size a tiny bit in some cases, would you find it a good or a bad thing? Or does it matter at all to you?

Keep up the discussion people! ^^ *claps hands*

[entropiCCycles]

I think the eyes are just fine as they are, but you can reduce them if you feel like you need to.

As for a color scheme, Violet or Blue (especially a darker blue) might work well here (even though there are other pictures with those colors as well).

Changing the colour of the hair itself on the girl is an easy task. Just altering the hue of the colours and lines. So... does anyone think another colour besides brown would fit here? I'm all ears.

[HitmanN]

Here's a preview of the near-complete Lingerie Thingerie 5. Now's the time to decide the colour theme for this one. Would brown do, or should we go for another colour and change the colour/hue of things to match the theme? I tested changing the hair colour to something between red and purple, and it worked pretty nicely too. (sample below, second image)

Any other colour related suggestions? No suggestions on lineart, anatomy, etc at this point please, just colouring/shading related.



Purple-ish edition, just for the heck of it (read above):

[QuantumToast]

For what it's worth, I like the brown hair better.

[sawblade2323]

Toast and I agree on this point.

Brown plz.

[entropiCCycles]

I really like the purple hair version.

Brown it is then, I guess. What about the couch? I kinda like the purple tone better, it's slightly more subtle, and less cold looking. Hmm... I suppose the colour theme shall be brown, but there's rather little of it in there. xP Maybe I should make the back and arms of the couch a little more brown, rather than the purple/pinkish that it is currently.

EDIT:

damn you entropiCCycles for posting while I was typing. xP

Anyways, here's what I meant for the brown version. Unless anyone wants to support the purple hair/theme, then I'll use this, and the colour theme will be brown.

[Sachiko]

I say you use the brown version. It looks nicer to me, and after all, you already have good candidates for purple. You know them very well.

Brown it is then. ^^

I'll put the final version up later today.

[entropiCCycles]

[HitmanN]

lol. No worries.


Additional Calendar Info:
A few of the calendar images will only be available in the calendar itself. I'm thinking 2-4. Forum members will still be participating in choosing the pictures to be finished, but the finished products will only be available in the calendar print itself. Those of you with no interest or money to buy the calendar, don't worry, be an active forum member and you'll eventually see the pictures in the 400+ posts section of the forums.

The mansion is going to need a name!

Suggestions are welcome. It should be a relatively short name though, perhaps consisting of two to three words, plus optionally 'mansion'. The name should sound like something rather big or important, and more importantly, something sexy, pretty or naughty. Not too naughty though, nothing sexually suggestive, y'know.

I'm all ears as I have no real ideas of my own for the time being.

[Sachiko]

Maison Gokuraku? (Gokuraku is the buddhist paradise, and, with all those lovely girls, you will certainly feel in paradise.
