February vote incentive
Click here or on the pic to vote! (But be warned this particular picture is a little cheescakey.)
So there’s this thing called the Valentine’s Day Sex Drive that was started by Stef Marcinkowski who does Sarah Zero, a webcomic that honestly I am largely unfamiliar with. Basically it’s an excuse to draw your characters nude and post them on V-Day. Now before anyone gets too excited, this is just going to be a picture of Harem. Granted it’s all 5 of her, and in the vote incentive she’ll actually be clothed, although somewhat scantily. On Valentines Day I’ll post a topless version of the pic (assuming I’m finished with it by then) on the DeviantArt page.
This picture is from the Playboy shoot that Harem will eventually do. Presumably hilarity and hubba hubba will ensue.
Edit: Color version is up. Background and Topless versions still in progress.
SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
I dunno if this just me but its showing me the old vote incentive the one with Sydney after she finds the orbs
Yup, me too. You big tease!
Ditto.
I guess TWC’s midnight is later than Central time. Give it till 1-2 am depending on where you are.
I see Flipside, Nikki Sprite and Chimneyspeak are all participating in the Valentine’s Day event. You are keeping some pretty good company there. Mind you, their characters all tend to spend more time out of their clothes than in!
Umna, umna, umna…
Okay, I can form coherent words now. Very… nice? I think that’s the best way to put it without sounding like a perv.
Just give up and accept that you’re a perv, man. You’re in good company, around here.
*gurgle* *sputter*
Ok, Harem is growing on me too now. It brings new light to her name!
This would just count as the ultimate masterbating session, correct? And not necessarily that Harem is into girls (but on the same tongue, doesn’t mean she isn’t)
Do like how they are still wearing combat boots while wearing very little else :D
So is this one that will be getting coloured later on, like last month’s image?
It has been mentioned a couple of times that Harem is bisexual, such as her reaction when Dabbler walked into the conference room. We still haven’t answered the question if Harem having sex with herself counts as incest, masturbation or what.
In-sexual?
Insexubation.
;-)
let’s just call it really elaborate masturbation ‘coz techically it’s still self stimulation
Somehow this reminds me of the Eschergirls tumbler… maybe I spent too much time there.
I hope not, I used photo reference for a lot of it. Granted, the sorts of photos I referenced were of women with fairly exceptional bodies. I think Eschergirls is funny, I follow it, but sometimes they get overexcited about slightly unusual posture. Some women are super flexible. Granted, most of them aren’t bending themselves in half while jumping through a window. Of course, Harem is one woman that can have her boobs and butt facing the same way without any bending involved.
Yeah, that’s why I said I spend too much time there. I think your art is great, far better than mine at any rate and not jarringly anatomically impossible, but I just spent a day or two going through all those posts I think I was kind of curious about how she fit her organs into her stomach in the one leaning over, about to get a kiss on her cheek. Maybe that’s just me…
But I am also overly critical in most cases, so you should probably just ignore me.
And yes, yes she can XD
Yeah, that one looks a little off to me as well, but when I compare it to the orignal, it’s almost exactly the same as in the photo. I did pull in her tummy just a hair cause I wanted to put a little definition in it, but combined with the way her torso is rotated slightly away so that you can see both shoulders, plus her arm covering up the incline of her ribcage up to her collarbone does make the ratio look a little off. I think I’ll adjust that before I start coloring.
Probably. If I were to add definition to a picture without I would probably add to it, as the muscle is on top of the internal organs and increasing its bulk would increase rather than decrease overall mass, now if you take muscle and spine away there does not seem to be much left, so it just seemed off to me.
Do not – repeat, do Not – show this to Maxima!
Why? Worried she might be upset she wasn’t asked to join in?
You really want to hope that Dave is not actually a chronicler of a real life secret super hero team, seeking to get us familiar with them, before they go public. Because if that is so, then you can expect an atomic wedgie from a certain golden heroine!
Ha ha ha! That entire line of thought is funny as hell to me for some reason!
Speaking of that scene: only 4 Harem girls were involved, blondie wasn’t around at all, just Military, Original, Goth and Scientist/Glasses
She was around. But since the next time we see her is when she busted out laughing while on the toilet. We can assume that’s where she was.
Pretty sure it was Gothette on the toilet, but it is more likely Blonde was being ‘stored’ at that time
Nope, Goth was having lunch and banged her knee on the table.
“Punk” got the wedgie, which caused
“Normal” to grab herself and stub her toe, which caused
“Goth” to bang her knee on the table, which caused
“Schoolgirl” to damn near twist herself into a pretzel trying to grab 3 different injuries and hit her head on a cabinet door.
That’s just the reactions we saw, considering each one was also reacting to the new injuries Dave could’ve theoretically taken a month cataloging everything that actually happened to Harem.
That’s what was getting at: Blonde (really going to have to track down that post made with possible names for the ‘spin-offs’ and write them down on a piece of paper) wasn’t around at all during that adventure (pretty sure Dave could have managed to fit an extra panel if she was), it was some time later that Gothette was sitting on the toilet freaking out the secretary (Military/Jeanne was the one who /vorped into the meeting and freaked herself out when finding Sydney there)
Realistically, Harem could get into a load of trouble for this, but in-comic, she probably won’t get any worse than a month of KP or whatever s**t detail they can assign at Archon.
Actually, with five bodies, she can do EVERY s**t detail, all the time, including the far-out ones like changing the lights on the antenna mast.
That’s what I was thinking too!
so i’m guessing harem has the 5 stars tattoo on all her bodies? i can see 2 of them that have all 5 in sight, and a 3rd where you can see a couple of the stars.
Yeah, all of them do except her “natural” form. I haven’t decided if that one has any tats. They actually all have 5 heart tattoos too. I need to decide where they all go.
Mentioned that on the main page (as a sub-comment about which Harem is which), also about how Original may not have the stars
We know the locations of 3 sets of the 5 Stars are, just need to work out where Gothette would have hers (speaking of, do any of the ‘copies’ have ‘names’?)
Goth,Vogue,Punk,Schoolgirl.
Those aren’t actually names, certainly not if they are supposed to be individual personalities (or at least, representatives of Daphne’s different personalities)
Did come up with some possibilities of actual names, but can’t remember which pages’ comments they were posted on :(
Ease of Reference. We’re not talking about clones that developed different personalities here. All 5 are literally the same person with 5 bodies, Goth will respond the same way as Punk unless Daphne decides to. She just gave them different appearances, Probably both for aesthetics and avoid confusion from 5 identical people running around.
Ages back, before Grrl Power started, I was inspired by one of the GURPs racial powers and created a character with a shared consciousness. One hive mind, with tens of thousands of drones. Some being with her own body, on her home planet, and on other, empty worlds she was colonising. With Earth having the most, however, as studying and integrating with an alien culture fascinated her.
Power level wise, she was equivalent to strong super heroes, due to numbers and access to advanced genetic technology. But, fortunately, despite keeping her true nature secret, she was benign. Which means I spent a lot of time thinking about how a shared mind would work for a super heroine.
In her case, one of the things she did deliberately was to give each of the drones a personality. Partly because she distributed her brainpower. Using the local drone brain for memory storage, low level decisions and routine operations. Reserving major decisions for the hive queen. Which meant that drones could start to develop quirks unless monitored. But that did not bother her, and she also wanted them to appear as individuals, so that humans would not get suspicious of her true nature.
Unlike Harem, though, her drones were of a number of different castes (each with different abilities, such as soldiers, workers and scientists – complete with internal biological laboratories!) and of both genders. So how that character would think and view the world would be different to Harem. But it is particularly interesting for me to see how her personality(ies) express themselves.
Arc needs to have that as a recruitment poster. Hell, as a vote incentive, I predict you’ll be up to number one on Top Web Comics again! Seriously, if Playboy were to really do a shoot like that the personel would have to be comprised mostly of gay men and straight women, otherwise no shit would get done. “Woops, bad lighting. guess we’ll have to do it again!”, “Oh darn, your skins looking a little dry in all those pictures, guess you ladies will have to oil each other up and we’ll take it from the top!”, “Woops, forgot to put film in the camera. Oh wait, digital so. . .batteries? and I just accidentaly deleted the pictures. . .and set the camera on fire. you ladies keep practicing poses while we wait for a new camera to get here.” The only thing that would be accomplished that day would be a large number of nose bleeds and possibly a heart attack or two.
Professional photographers are just that… professional. Especially adult photographers, who have generally been doing their jobs for a long time and have literally seen everything, over and over, day after day. They define “jaded”.
My, she’s very … flexible, isn’t she. In more ways than one!
;)
Oh my goodness! Vanilla, Vogue, Punk, and Goth are all very nice, but Co-ed is still my favorite. Thanks for putting her in front, Mr. B. :)
What? You calling Original ‘Vanilla’? Or ‘Vogue’?
I thought that calling the original Shortcake as more appropriate. ….. tic tic tic ……. [dives for cover]
No, the original has a name, Daphne
The one on the left is wearing Vanilla’s “Thing 1” top, so I assume that’s Vanilla/Strawberry. The one puckering up on the right is wearing Goth’s earings and stuff, so I’m guessing that’s Goth, and I’m pretty sure that’s Vogue/Cowgirl in between. Punk is the one with the piercings, of course, and I’m absolutely sure that’s Co-ed doing the splits. (She’s my favorite.) They’re all Daphne, according to her “exposition disguised as a question” during Dabbler’s Science Corner #1, but do we know who the original was?
The thing is, Daphne herself is not sure which one is the original. There was a time when there was only two of her, and they looked identical, and since her consciousness extends equally between them, she can’t distinguish one from another, until she got 2 different haircuts once or one of them got a scrapped knee. The strawberry blonde “vanilla” one is what she looks like without a lot of tattoos and hair coloring though.
So for all intensive porpoises, ‘Thing 1’ might as well be ‘The Original’/Daphne
Ease of Reference anyway. “There’s 5 of me…I’ll leave this one alone and say it’s the original.”
Con: Not sure if masturbation :) or incest :(
Pro: Each one feels what the other four feel :)
Con- Sensory Overload resulting in temporary Catatonia.
It would give me Dogatonia.
Ok, till now i’ve lurked but this incentive is really, really great. I’m at work and I’ve watched my screen for 3 minutes frozen solid :D
Thanks! Glad you like it. Hope to have it finished with the background this week. I may need to do a beefcake piece to balance it out though.
Heh heh, liking the waistband on Joan’s (or ‘Punk’, or ‘Military’ to some people) panties (or did she simply refuse to remove her belt?)
Looks like a belt.
Ah! The colors add so much. I was going to say the background hardly matters, but then I flashed on downtown scene, with the gals on a rooftop and a helicopter trying to get a better look. No telling, but I’m looking forward to the background now. (That ARC top makes me think of American River College in Sacramento. Very fitting for Co-ed, even if it is just a coincidence.)
Very fine work, sir. Thanks for sharing. : )
Looking at this. I keep having the song “I touch myself” run through my head…Is that a bad thing? =P
If this actually happens in continuity, Maxima’s reaction is going to be goddamn EPIC. *insert random popcorn-eating GIF here*
Unless it’s from jealousy, don’t see why Maxi would be upset or have a problem at all with what any of the members of ARC do on their time off, as long as it doesn’t compromise the organisation
Max has some strong opinions on how women’s behavior affects the perception of women in general. I’m not sure how vocal she is about it though. In my head, she’s gone from angry feminist always “fighting the fight” to a slightly more sedate form of general disappointment in the world at large. There are still some things that light her up though.
Mmmm… Cake…
You know, I kind of saw a lesbian self-sex scene coming, when I first learned about harem. Seemed the obvious direction you would be going with her. I approve.
So, can she heal the one with the white hair by recreating her? It looks like she snapped her spine, with that side-bend.
You have never see gymnasts/flexible women before, have you? Would post a link but might get into trouble for it, but just do a search for ‘Flexi Girls’
I see no problem with the name molestorb
