4.09 / 5.00 12,195 ViewsThanks everyone for showing interest in Nicole Heat, and for complimenting the artwork! A lot of questions you guys have been asking have been asked to me in PM, so I thought I'd just share a pretty succinct answer that I used for those PMs.
"Hey, thanks for being a fan!
Since we're a business, we actually produce pornographic comics for our site nicoleheat.com. So, there is a real girl that our photographer takes pictures of, and we produce comics based on her likeness. So yes, many of the panels in the comics themselves have been referenced from in-house photography. There are quite a few, however, which come from our imaginations. We're part of the "adult-empire" line of pornographic sites. The references are never from outside pornography, but are all produced specifically for our site. We have photographers, artists (like myself), story writers, and models working with us to make nicoleheat.com possible.
Because of a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo, I can't show you the actual pictures we take of the model. She has chosen to do porn in a completely anonymous and frankly creative way (in our opinion anyways). We've all been signed into a contract based work, where we update the site with new comics accompanied by text to paying members.
But yeah, in short - some work is from our heads, and a lot of actual sex or love-making scenes (especially ones with dynamic camera angles) are referenced from original in-house photography."

Yeah, its funny you say that. I was chatting with a friend recently and he was questioning how I make the breasts of my characters looks so deliciously real. He said they look squishable, cuppable, and bouncy. The key in this, I think, is understanding how various human appendages react to weight and pressure. If you can really understand how a boob sits on a person, you'll be able to depict it much better. (of course the best way of learning this is actually going out and looking at a real pair of breasts. If you don't have your own, or a girlfriend, or a sketching model you might have to use the internet. But don't use ones that are filled up with silicone because they don't react the same as real ones.)
I made this little example for him, maybe people on here would find it useful. It was intended to be a quick example of how weight is directed.
In the first picture, you'll notice she's leaning over to one side. I drew in her center of balance, plus the direction which her weight is on. Notice how her breasts, even though they are perky, still hang down slightly. In the second picture you'll notice an extreme case of this, as she is lying down and weight and force is being applied to her from the bottom. Notice the lay backwards, resting almost on either side of her body. ALSO, even though she is has a very skinny body, when she is lying down with her torso bent, fat and skin WILL bunch up at the stomach. EVEN A SKELETAL SKINNY PERSON WILL HAVE AT LEAST SKIN BUNCH UP AT THE STOMACH WHEN THEIR TORSO IS BENT.
GASP!? Art that isn't overtly sexual?
I use Photoshop. Just a basic hard round and soft round brush. I pop the flow of the brush to about 40 - 50.

Regardless of whether or not this actually increases sales or not is not something I particularly care about, the art itself though is another story.
The art itself is extremely clean and has the hyper realism look that many photoshop tutorials try and teach, I was wondering if you could upload a workflow progression of how this comic was made.
Here's some workflow of the above work.

Haha, well yes we are trying to promote our site and comic. But, in doing so, we're providing free artworks of Nicole on Newgrounds!
I've got tons of promo panels and teasers to upload.
Hey everyone on the forums! This will be very NSFW.
It's Brian here, one of the artists for Nicole Heat, the Adult Comic. Over there we produce stories and panels that document a new rising pornstar named Nicole. The story starts at her first casting and then covers how her new job affects her social life. We are still starting off, so we've made a newgrounds to garner some more attention.
Everyone on Newgrounds will get a chance to view previews and teasers for the comics on our page for FREE! If you wanna see more, check out the site.
We can't wait to show you what Nicole Heat has to offer!
For now, check out a site illustration of Nicole.
