What Will Be the Upcoming Britney x Zoey CG/HCG(s) From Myumi?

As you're probably aware, Myumi, the artist for Britney's sprites, recently fully completed those sprites in the recent 0.8.5 update. He has a cleared queue for further commissioned art and we're both interested in working with each other in the future; to that end, we need to figure out what we're commissioning from him.

Britney x Zoey CG/HCG(s) would be the obvious call from him, and I've got a few ideas lined up to vote on below, ordered from how ambitious each is because for as great as his work on Britney's sprites was, it took a lot of revisions to get there as Myumi sometimes struggles with expressions and his English skills are a bit lacking. This means that complexity might be the enemy, and each option synopsis comes with a bit of a caveat explaining why that option might have issues.

Anyways, without further ado, the three options to vote on are:

1. Measuring (For Real This Time)

As an aside, Symphogear has a lot of great yuri artwork to draw inspirations for Britney's route from (also, Chris best girl).

Britney never finished measuring Zach's chest, and the goal with this CG is some character-developing banter as Zach (in a far more calm situation than their first attempt) is measured by Britney for the bra he so desperately needs. It's not exactly the most exciting plan, but I have some lingering doubts about Myumi's ability to make complex CG/HCGs, and this would be a trial with something relatively cheap to determine his ability with a polished 16:9 scene.

Still, the simplest plans are sometimes the best plans.

2. “Just Leave It to Me”

This would be a HCG pair replacing the current "Just leave it to me." stub in the "Just ask her to come to your room." route that begins Britney's content. In it, Zach realizes it's advantageous to have sex with Britney for his needed re:Dreamer points, so he agrees to Britney's terms for helping him that involve it; however, Zach has no idea how lesbian sex works, let alone normal sex, so he asks Britney for advice. Britney says "Just leave it to me" before sliding over to Zach, turning him around, and groping his chest while whispering in his ears about how good it feels for a girl and calling her Zoey.

The existing scene would be extended to incorporate a new scene where a wildly flustered Zach is pushed down onto his bed and further led into sex until he either comes from Britney fingering his vagina or he pushes her off and introduces Ai as is currently written.

The second part could likely be reused for the "Try to tell her the details over text." route where Zach is pushed against his bed before being eaten out (although that would require some additional expressions and a variation of Britney's head being lowered to Zoey's groin).

These scenes add a good bit of steamy content to the game, but it feels almost like taking a step back to work on the neglected path they'll be appearing on, even though the path choice will end up being an important variable for the route later, determining such things as how loving this lesbiain't couple is and how much they trust each other. Still, it's the patron's call.

3. Top/Bottom

The most ambitious of these three options is a female mating press with two variations based on who's on top and who's on bottom. For this, we'd ideally be temporarily pulling TiltSHIFT off of his work with the Zach to Zoey TF HCGs and get him and Myumi to collaborate to drawn their respective girls. TiltSHIFT will probably be able to temporarily move off from that project since he'll be finishing up the next HCG part soon and I let him know he can take a decent break after that to recuperate from his upcoming second vaccine dose on Friday, meaning that he'll be ready to take on another piece of art after the break is over, but if he can't, Myumi can likely draw both Zoey and Britney (they have very similar styles, and Myumi specifically mentioned that he shaped his after TiltSHIFT's).

In a way, this is a scene playing to Myumi's strengths of great poses while sidestepping his weaknesses with expressions (only a tiny bit of the bottom's mouth and cheeks would be visible). Still, this is going to be the most expensive option of the three listed. I know from experience this scene will be rather difficult to explain to Myumi and TiltSHIFT, and coordination could be difficult, even if they speak the same language and all three of us speak English. If TiltSHIFT isn't up for this, I don't know how well Myumi would draw Zoey on his own.

As a reminder:

• $3 Supporters have their votes weighted normally (1x).
• $10 Backers have their votes weighted 4x the normal strength.
• $20 Sustainers have their votes weighted 10x the normal strength.

This poll will be running until Friday, August 13 at 20:00 PM EDT, at which point I'll announce the results publicly in the next Friday Update (as well as sharing some new details about what I've been working on) and I'll work with Myumi to make the winner a reality.
