This page went through a lot of revisions. Numerous alt shots, entire poses shot and discarded, and 4 or 5 different page layouts. Ironically, it ended up being pretty similar to how I planned the layout in the page plan anyways. My biggest problem with it was actually having new ideas that then either didn't work out or strung me along until I decided they hurt the pace or the concept or something. The other problem was that the pacing felt off, especially when considering the prior page. It still kind of does, but the original plan had the last panel as a full wide shot and the middle wide was where he finishes instead of a lead up. The other problem was the original 3rd panel wide had what I felt like was a good angle and idea but it really wasn't working out. Posing and ZBrush resulted in a mesh that was difficult to get a decent shot of what I wanted from the good angle, didn't meet the plan criteria, and the planned spunk turned out very sub-par as well. The final choice doesn't meet the criteria either but went a better route that I was happier with. There's definitely going to be a a good number of varied rejected shots.

I was sorely tempted to put some tears in the bedsheet as an excuse to have the characters discard them, lol. They're always a problem for the bed sim. But, the lighting and materials are such that the bed would overly bright, even more so than the sheets tend to be already, and make it even more difficult to get these shots balanced. Considered still including them, since I liked the idea of Yeltsin accidentally ripping them, but really they would just create an annoying complication for the sim and honestly don't look that good.
