He can't wait to see what she does. She can't wait to see what he thinks.
I'd had the itch to make a cap for the last few days but hadn't come across a good enough image. Then this morning rolls around and I saw this. I immediately knew, even before I had an idea what the story would be, that I'd have the story wrap around the cheeks of her ass.
When I was finally finishing with my morning rounds, I was posting Almost Everything You Wished For up to Bluesky (I'm posting my caps there, one each day). The whole 'his wish made me into a girl but not how he wanted me to be' idea stuck. Obviously, I had to acknowledge her pose as its just too provocative to ignore. So did he get accidently changed? Maybe it was meant for someone else and he's now stuck offering up his new feminine treasure just waiting to be fucked? No, that didn't feel right as her eyes don't have that look. She's hiding something and is happy about it. Hey, what if when the guy who wished for her to be this way saw something 'odd' when he walked around behind her?
And then I was off to the races. From the get go, I wanted to have a more fun, tongue in cheek, feeling even though the color pallet is on the more serious side. I went and found one of my references to the gypsy in the mall and then just followed that tone throughout, leaving the (ahem) big reveal for the end.
Initially I wanted the whole story to be up around her ass, but it just cut off too much. I'm hoping that putting that last paragraph down there doesn't draw attention to it first. In fact, this probably isn't the easiest cap to read, but most fun designs sacrifice a little legibility for fun.
Anyway, I hope you like it and get a little chuckle out of it.
I think anyone that had read a few comics in their life will follow the curves of her ass and read this caption correctly! Speaking of tongue in cheek, I love that you put your watermark on her left cheek .. very cheeky indeed! I love the twist, but I always love captions that star gurls with a little something extra!
ReplyDeleteI've stopped using gyp** in my captions as it does have an negative connotation ethnically. From what I understand, Romani or Roma is now the correct term for them. I learned this back when MST3K rebooted and they rechristened that old character with a new name, G-PC
You know, I feel like we've talked about the whole 'gyp** vs Romani' before, but I can't remember when. I certainly didn't think of it as a slur. I'd change it, but I'm not sure what I'd change it too. I'm referring to the comical portrayal of the gyp** fortune teller that has real magic. Used in movies and TVs. Not that previous usage excuses it. BUT, I'm not sure off the top of my head what else I could call that character. I'd think even hinting at her as the true Romani group of people would be insulting as she is a twisted stereotype that doesn't represent them.
DeleteI don't know. I guess I'll have to give it more thought. Probably best just to retire the bit (though I do get a giggle each time i add 'fortune telling, cell phone, and laundry kiosk'. I just would never willingly use a derogatory term on purpose to hurt someone.
I would think, at least in this case, it could be a peddler, old man in a bathrobe (aka SRU wizard) maybe goth girl or witch as well? I mean, we aren't offended, and if we were, we'd just make you even MORE girly!
DeleteI was thinking about it last night and came up with just 'Fortune Teller'. That would let the reader put it in their imagination instead of forcing a derogatory term on them. Peddler might work though it doesn't conjure what I'm thinking of. While this is my personal version of the SRU wizard, I wouldn't want to intrude upon that world and blatantly copy it. Witch might work as it's close to what I have in my head. Goth girl would be different, but it certainly fits the vibe.
