The First Ever Erikomic! -part two-

After the brief hiatus last week, we are back with the continuation and conclusion of my first ever comic and commission from Keeper of Pots! Here we have Erika being caught and hypnotized by Saalim, and finally stripped down and prepared to be eaten. To start things off, I'm actually not the biggest fan of vore. Soft vore is one of those neutral things for me where I'm fine with it but I don't love it per se. And hard vore is a big no. However, the creator of Saalim who goes by plsgts is a fan of it I figured we could have some implied vore at the end!

I hinted at this before in the previous post, but I do have some words of the creator on this comic. Now that we've reached the conclusion I'd like to share them here: "Well, in retrospect, I'm not a very big fan of how I drew you in that comic. It starts out decent enough, but it kinda deteriorates as it goes. I wasn't very good at drawing in the anime style back then. But from a comic story perspective, it's quite fun. I've always loved doing silent comics because the expressions and poses of the characters have to carry the story-telling all by themselves." And to be honest I actually do agree with that statement completely.

Even back when this page was first released in 2015 I always felt like I enjoyed the first page more and felt a bit of a dip in quality in this one. Though of course "dip in quality" for a Keeper of Pots image is still a top tier image regardless. But if I had to pick between the first and second pages, I much prefer the first. And it seems like the original creator has the same sentiments. Still though, it was a learning experience for him and I'm glad to hear he had a good time working on it!

I don't have an exact quote, but I also remember sharing this comic with plsgts when it first finished as well. He loved the comic too and of course was happy that his character was featured in it. However one comment from his did stand out to me which I do remember to this day. He said something along the lines of "If Saalim ordered her to strip, why was he acting surprised when she did?" I don't really have an answer to that question either. I suppose the panel could be interpreted as he liked what he saw... but I don't think that quite matches the character either.

Either way though, with this conclusion to the comic it cemented my future friendship with Keeper of Pots and everyone involved in the project was happy with the result! But looking back on it though, it really goes to show how even a great artist can improve over time! This comic was almost seven years old now at the time of writing this post and if you haven't checked out Keeper of Pot's more recent work yet I highly recommend you do!
