Whoa. Amazing job on this. The figures look totally authentic and at the same time, painterly... I'm especially looking at the shine on John's shoulder and hip in the lower right-hand figure. Just beautiful, and it's fantastic as a total piece with the three different moments complementing and contrasting each other.

You already know how stunning I think this is. :-D Now I can't wait to read the story!

Gorgeous piece!

Very nice! I particularly like the pose of the middle picture, the way he seems to be turning his head to avoid being blinded by the light that spreads over everything... great piece!

All three images are very nice! I like the perspective of the middle piece, how the viewer looks down on John while John looks away. :)

Wow. Came here by way of sabinelagrande's fic M9J-203, which I've only just read, & I have to say that this is even more impressive than the fic! First, the manipped figures are incredibly well done: the angles & proportions of the bodies & faces you chose, the highlights & details of musculature & bruises, even the suggestion of body hair on the upper-left figure. Second, the three bondage scenes you portray are so different, & suggest very different tones & emotions & stories.

Third, the colors!--blue tones of the UL scene repeated in the background of the middle scene & in John's bruising & shorts; the hot tones of his beaten skin in the middle figure carried over into the LR background. Then the patterns of light/energy echoing John's body & ties in the LR scene, & the way the rays of light from the middle scene streak through faintly in the other scenes. The elements are all connected & bound together so intricately....

Thank you for creating & sharing this; it's really lovely!
