A Were's First 2.1 (Deleted Page)
🕑 Added 2022-01-05 00:14:06 +0000 UTCCurtis' elusive stripping scene.
This is the 3rd page I developed for the comic. One of the longer pages to make, even. So why did I cut it from the sequence?
1: It gave too much too early. This comic was intended to have NSFW content from the beginning, but I didn't want this comic to be (p)ornography - Patreon doesn't like that word so bear with me on the censorship. I felt that diving head first into full nudity on page 3 might give the wrong impression.
2: I want Curtis to be a character, not necessarily a (p)ornstar. It's a tricky balance that I'm not sure I can ever achieve because I'm into tf, you're into tf, and this hot guy is tf-ing. But I wanted my readers to get to know the character at least little so they can feel some sympathy for what he's going through while transforming. Based on some responses to the released pages, I have achieved that.
3: The forbidden fruit is much sweeter. I'm making you wait so when the time comes it may be more satisfying. That is why this page obscures the goods so much - it's meant to tease. And I, personally, find that knowing a person before seeing their junk makes nudes more attractive. Also, I sometimes find teases to be hotter than having things straightforward.
4: The anatomy on this page is unsatisfying to me. From an artist perspective I only think the anatomy is barely satisfactory. It feels flat and boring and I don't dig it. I also worry that people who expect Curtis to be a (p)ornstar character will see his junk and just be like "oh, that's all? Is this all he has to offer?" Obviously, no. My style is stylized realism, he's totally soft, and I'm a tf artist. Look how much I'm trying to defend myself even now. I don't want to deal with all those expectations and potential for shooting myself in the foot as a new artist on the scene.
Now you're probably like, "But, AwareBear, you've already shared some art showing some of his parts!" Well, you see, those art pieces don't count. Take my word for it. I can't explain how my obsessive compulsions work but those pieces bypass the rules I've set for this character on technicalities so precise I can't even point them out.
I'd like to know your thoughts on the page. Do you think it deserved the cut? Do you think teases are sometimes more attractive than full view? Do you find this page arousing? Please tell me - I've grown completely numb to my own work lol

Ideally I won't have to delete anything else. However anything that doesn't have a home will likely end up here as extra.

I thank you for sharing this deleted page. It's a shame it got cut. The artwork and angles and mood made this page beautiful. Nudity shouldn't be censored. I still thank you and hope you share more deleted content like this.

I do love the shadow and outline here. He's a hot man but having more character for him makes him hotter.
Warbear
Thats a good catch! There was just something not quite right about the page. I'm glad I trusted my gut on this one. But a werebear stripping because he knows he's gonna tf is good material for the future lol
Warbear
Thanks. Yeah I liked the angles and the composition of the last panel for sure. And as for the teases, there's about to be a lot more once Curtis takes it all off. I'm gonna need to maintain some safe for work pages which will require some creative censoring.

We've seen everything else by now but at the time it would have been 0-100 in nudity. It was too fast for me.
Warbear
I see how other comic makers make their stories and I strive to be better.
Warbear
I suppose you're right.
Digsby
I think the teases are way more effective honestly. You did a great flow from one thing to another, which makes this TF really good! I do want to say that the angles of this page are awesome.
Alez
This all actually makes a lot of sense, id call this page honestly just filler since we've already seen just about everything else~

You're too harsh on yourself, this is coming from somone who does the same regarding my own work. I think it's a great page and does Curtis justice. Then again, I am biased and just fond of the male figure so I'm not gonna complain about nudity ever lol
