Creator's Note

I’ve been on a hot streak this year contributing-wise, and the story I had ready to go is, um, too long for a non-December issue. Which left me with a streak of contributions BROKEN by this month, which just didn’t feel right. So I…I would say “whipped this up”, but looking back at the replay in Procreate, it appears I spent something like 17 hours on this piece??? Most of that time was spent messing with the lighting and the shadows. I’ve never tried to do such detailed and important lighting before, really!

I was in fact so pleased with how this turned out that I made a censored version, where the slip is a little more full-coverage, so I can put it in my portfolio and show off to people in a ~professional setting~. I worked hard, I’m going to make everyone look at this!!!
