Greetings again! We're back this week with not only another Erika post, but the return of one of my favorite fictional characters AND an artist we haven't seen in quite awhile on this blog. That's right, for those of you who have read the earlier entries in the blog, this artist might look familiar. It's StormFedeR! I went over him before in the previous entry, but needless to say the main draw of commissioning him is that it's VERY difficult to get a slot. Actually at the time of writing this post, May 21st 2023, he opened commissions just yesterday, and I missed my chance. Oh well...
But even though I failed recently, I didn't fail many years ago when I got this picture as we can see. I managed to luckily snag a spot, and I already knew what I wanted. As evident by some of the previous posts, I was on quite a Blazblue high at the time. This was due to the fact that it was early 2015, and the newest version of the game Central Fiction, was coming out in about a year. That, coupled with the fact that I had recently awoken to my love for loli vampires and Rachel Alucard in particular. So we'll probably be seeing a lot more of her in this time period of commissions!

So with that being said, StormFedeR immediately got to work on my idea. It wasn't anything special, but rather I just wanted an idea that Rachel comes to invade my room and hypnotizes me into some hot yuri action. Actually, the basic premise of this idea came from Keeper of Pots who helped me brainstorm the setting, as all I had was just an Erika x Rachel picture. And fun fact about that, Keeper ended up making a Rachel bedroom invasion comic with me in it later down the line, but more on that whenever we get to it on the blog.
I'd like to say the commission progress went smoothly, but actually it's time I address the title of this piece as well as the alts... the completed product I got from StormFedeR actually was the third picture in this post. The one where Rachel has giant breasts! To be frank, I'm not only not really a big fan of huge honkers, but I also like to keep characters on model so I wasn't too satisfied with the end result. I asked if it were possible to reduce Rachel's bust size, but I wasn't sure if Storm would do it as he doesn't usually do post commission reworks. Luckily, he was alright with it! However, the second version was still a tad too big. So he shrunk them down to as far as he said he could, and we ended up with Rachel bust size alts to please everyone! Small, medium and large.
I opted to keep the small version as the definitive version, but if you look for this picture on Storm's gallery, he opted to go for the bigger boobed version to be the definitive piece. So it really is a "pick your own option" scenario. As a side note, the original final piece also had my hair colored wrong, but I chose to not have that alt uploaded here. Overall though despite the hiccups, I'm still very satisfied with how this commission turned out!
