Hi Everyone
I was struggling to condense this idea into a single image, so I toyed with a short comic but eventually landed on this . It is a partial animation, mostly of the dialog and definitely not of the background. But it tells the story just as I wanted and so I think it works.
It sits in the bigger story of Andy and Aunt Jane, way way back before the fateful trip to America and reveals Andys emotions and his secret feelings.
I'll give nothing else away, because I would love to know your reaction to this.
Also I will in short time post some of the important artworks for this, so you can look at them at your leisure.
Thank you for your support, big hugs

Ps I have uploaded it twice.The second to youtube and the first direct to the blog, just to try and increase quality

As promised here are a couple of stills from this piece, just in case you wanted a closer look

While I like your individual pictures and the one-offs where you leave the full narrative to the reader's imagination, this works wonderfully well. Subtle and nuanced. The private thoughts, the eye glances, the dawning realisation about the advertising hoarding. Perfect. But I doubt that Will will be disappointed by the final revelation. In fact, he may welcome it and find in it the way in which he can express his true love taht he's always harboured for Andy. xxx
ReplyDeleteYou know me S, when I am feeling romantic and silly those are the emotions that I just want to share. I am glad they came across.

Very nice, and yes, subtle, like a brick. All is going smoothly for Andy and his secret love as his secrets unfold behind him. I thought something would interact with the legs descending the escalator, but no, next time perhaps when she descends and sees the ad.
ReplyDeleteSurprising that Andy has kept his adventures a secret for so long. I thought his eyebrows or pouty lips would have given a hint of his escapades in Latex.
Ah yes Lee. I toyed with doing something in the background, but to be honest the time it took to get the three screen changes was more than enough mucking about for me. But who knows if that was not one of "the others" Andy referred to.
DeleteThank you as always and as always a pleasure

Your pleasure is only my response to all of your hard work. It is always a thrill to see something new from your fertile mind.
DeleteThank you Lee and I must say my fertile mind is often fueled by naughty and appreciative minds such as yours.

Andy
Thank you, you are as good as your word. They are beautiful choices, showing Andy in all his/her glory.
DeleteNot at all Lee. I even thought myself, hang on I put so much time into the magazine covers and left no one the time to read them.
DeleteSo glad you like

This is an excellent effort on your part. Andy can no longer keep his secret from the world, but especially not from William. What will happen next? A stroll through the mall where Andy tries to explain to William, but they arrive at a "Boy!?" store where a life-sized cutout of Andy in his French maid uniform stands in the window.
ReplyDeleteYes I like that idea, but remember Will already has those posters. But If I try to chase the time line I get well confused.
DeleteSo glad you liked it,
XXXX
I absolutely love this. Maybe Andy finds it hard to avoid being harassed about the cover, except for when he dresses up as a girl.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vanessa, so glad you liked it and yes perhaps being perfectly Fem is his best disguise.
DeleteXXX
Awesomeeeeee.
ReplyDeleteWOW, thank you my friend, so glad you liked it.

Hello Janice, so nice to hear from you. That is a really good way to read it, yes he may well have blacked out from the tension. I tried to drop the sound out and cut to black on the right beat.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you like my art, it is always nice to hear that people do. It can get lonely running a blog with no feedback, but I am quite lucky with that.
Thank you again

How incredibly well done, changing back poster and these eyes.

Thank you Janet, That is very kind of you. I am so happy you like it.

It appears as if Andy has gotten himself in a tight little situation with his friend? Will William spill the beans? How will Aunt Jane respond to this? Will she ensnare William in her web of latex to ensure his silence; becoming another pretty-little plaything to powder and paint as she pleases?
ReplyDeleteI think that Andy might go as far as to defy Aunt Jane, if she were to attempt to force the boy he loves into sissyhood.
DeleteHa Ha I think This is where, rather like the new star trek, we split our universes, I think Anon, that you might be following RH's super alternate universe, but in mine, Jane will never push Will into sissyhood, She loves her nephew and to see him in love would be a delight for her.

This is very fine work; and also screamingly funny. You capture every detailed nuance of poor Andy's embarrassment, but isn't all great comedy, well all English comedy, founded on embarrassment? Believe me, I do feel for the poor boy, and of course he looks totally gorgeous in the ads, but oh dear, the scenario is just hilarious! Probably Aunt Jane has told him at some point "One day, my dear, you will look back on this and laugh."
ReplyDeleteOh my friend thank you so much and you are so right. i think It was Woody Allen said comedy is Pain + Time, or If it bends it's funny, if it breaks it ain't. I am so glad you thought it funny too, I love a good comedy double take.
DeleteYes one day, perhaps snuggled up together, Andy and Will might share a laugh about that moment. In my mind they will.

ReplyDeleteNot been around and have only just caught this. Beautifully done as always and I like to think that it fits in nicely with my own imaginary time-line (on which I am still working) where Andy and Will get together in latex and leather. Love the facial expressions.
Love and XXXX

Hi Stevie, really missed you

What a wonderful idea and very well executed Andy. I especially like the open-ended climax (no pun intended) and leaving us all to imagine just what happened next! Who was gobbled first..the shark victims or........incidentally who would not want to been seen in that hot red and black latex number (giggles
ReplyDeleteThank you sarah,so happy when people like my little side steps. I think an open cut ending like that makes the little story have a longer life beyond my imagination.
DeleteAs for the outfit, i just realised I was channeling a distant memory https://smoothslicknshiny.blogspot.com/2011/04/distant-memory.html

Andy
Gorgeous!!!
DeleteI agree XXX
DeleteAnd of course Aunt Jane insists that Andy must use his real name for modeling work, so there's never any doubt... ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are right, It will always be Andy, after all he is a boy, feminised yes, but he will never be anything but.
