Commission Review - AudioVideoMeow Aya & Rieko

Did you know my birthday is this month? I've been treating myself with some new commissions to celebrate, and here's an amazing watercolor painting by AudioVideoMeow!

Apologies for the light reflection. I didn't want to take it out of its protective sleeve until I had a frame for it ready to go.

Review notes and thank you picture below the fold.

It is incredibly hard to find artists who work in physical mediums who are also interested in drawing futanari characters. Not many artists online do physical work, and futanari are a small niche. So finding an artist with the talent and attention to detail as AudioVideoMeow who poured the time and effort into making something this amazing was a miracle!

What I love about this is how they took my original concept and ran with it, putting their own unique spin that makes it even better.

I started with this picture.

Which I then posed with Aya and Rieko.

My version I knocked out in 20 minutes as I wanted to get something to AVM so they could get started. They could have done a 1:1 match to what I provided and that would have been fine. But instead they took this concept and made all sorts of improvements that make it a better composition.

First, they swapped the composition, putting Rieko on the left and Aya on the right. For me, this draws my eye to Rieko first, then Aya's hand, and following that back up to Aya's face. This is a great way to put focus on the character's expressions to emphasize the playfulness of the scene.

They also changed it so Aya is reaching out for Rieko's breast with one hand while holding her leg with the other. This adds a nice sense of anticipation and intimacy. This is reinforced by having the characters looking at each other instead of back to the viewer.

Another change is that they straightened the character's hips which makes their erections easier to read. In my version Rieko's dick is pointing towards the viewer making it get a little lost. AVM's approach makes the cock socks more visible. And as someone who likes a nice peen decoration, this is very much appreciated.

I could go on and on with these callouts. SO I WILL!

Placing the shoe in the foreground with the flowers helps ground the scene, so you know the characters are sitting without having to make the floor a different color.

The background color wash is visually interesting without distracting from the characters. It also has sparkles. SPARKLES!

The maid outfits have a shinier, more latex appearance that looks great with the watercolor technique.

Overall, I'm incredibly impressed with this work. Easily one of my favorite commissions. If you have any interest in getting a lewd and cute watercolor painting, you need to hit up AudioVideoMeow. Everything about this experience was perfect. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Edit: Just as I was wrapping this up, I went through AudioVideoMeow's twitter and found this post when they originally shared this piece: https://twitter.com/audiovideomeow/status/1519043455229382656
