Shame he went with Furaffinity for this upload instead of his Photobucket page. Instead of the clear, high resolution PNGs we got for the first 2 pages, we get a poorly-compressed JPG.

No watermark, though. So we have that going for us.

Also decent base models for the Copypasta "just add skintone and hair" characters. I mean he put effort into his laziness. I like that. Just hope the commissioning party didn't pay a premium for the second character.

Isn't that fairly standard whenever possible? The 'same model' thing?

If it is, it's not how Purple Tree Studios operates. We've had a character standing infront of mirrors before and went out of our way to draw the reflection separately. It gives a depth to the picture. The only way to pull off copypasta base models is to have EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF WORK YOU PRODUCE be from a straight on angle and with no sense of depth, because if you have depth and then mirror it for the second image then it'll look weird in the copied version. What that essentially does is make it so all you can produce is cardboard cutouts with different hair/clothes.

I will credit Jim with the fact that he does decent hypnotized eyes, his characters look spot on after modifications and he does stretch and skew the models to portrait accurate height and breast size. But it's still always going to be the same basic set of images in the same angles with the light sources always impacting them straight on so their shadows are on opposite sides. But it's a winning formula. People want to buy it, it takes no time at all to crank them out and to be fair he does dress the images up to make each one unique, which is more effort than I'd imagine with someone of that MO.

Think you're giving him a little much in credit there when he charges what I hear he does for this kind of thing.

Not always. Take post #8311, he gave Kurumu and Moka the exact same copy/pasted body even though Kurumu should be shorter and have larger breasts than Moka. There was also that one time <<hypnohub.net/post/show/10151|he drew Lina Inverse's breasts the same size as every other female in the frame>>. Even in THIS pic, Raven and Starfire have the same breast size, when I believe Starfire's should be larger. Really, his comics are where his copy/pasting becomes most apparent. Just look through <<hypnohub.net/pool/show/50|this>> and count how many times you see characters with the exact same body in the exact same pose. Of course, it's <<hypnohub.net/post/show/12140|not>> <<hypnohub.net/post/show/11809|just>> <<hypnohub.net/post/show/10247|his>> <<hypnohub.net/post/show/8415|comics>>.



I don't think people should spam his inbox or his comments saying he sucks, but maybe he could do with a little less business. Something to spur him towards moving beyond this exact level he's been at for years now.
