Thank you for this great new work ( 'at Phoebe's place ') Sakrilas, which you freely give away to the community.
I'm really looking forward to starting to seriously read this visual novel when the full seventh day is released. I don't know what will happen there with the relationship between Phoebe and Casey but I will always be left with these 'non-canonical' contributions.
I think your graphic work is excellent. I would say almost of a new generation (even when Phoebe doesn't appear in the scene :-D). Partly it can be explained by better tools, and better resources (like higher quality textures) but I'm sure that by itself is not enough. The differentiating element surely has to do with your imagination, mastery and dedication.
Regarding this particular work; what can I say? I like it a lot. Those two young ladies absolutely steal the scene.
First of all I can't deny that I find the racially mixed component in this couple very appealing. And in this case a luscious pink skin under the control of a luscious ebony skin is a stimulating exercise in reversal historical revisionism. :-D
Of course, for my taste, Casey's stark (and loney) nudity is glorious. I love all of it. Special attention to her firm 'underdeveloped', almost adolescents, but exquisite breasts. They are perfect for Casey. She has a slender, athletic and flexible body.. A nice detail the toes and fingers carefully painted in passion red.
That said it's Phoebe's facial expression and body language in the first image where she appears seated that impresses me the most.
I really like imagining what ideas and thoughts are going through her beautiful head. I haven't properly played Casey' Fall yet. I've decided to wait for the June release but I feel that what bubbles up in Phoebe's mind is more enigmatic than what goes on in the minds of Tara, Cass or Greg.
It has been seen how Phoebe manages Casey's wardrobe. And forces her to dress like a shameless slut. You'd think Phoebe would have some fetish with turning prude girls into slutty, degraded sluts.
But we can't be sure. Phoebe always explains her actions as instructions/commands from the mysterious blackmailer and we have no reason to doubt that this is not the case. In that case they wouldn't be her cheerful "occurrences". Here the same thing seems to be happening judging by the video camera. Consequently, at the moment it is not possible to separate which part of what is happening responds to Phoebe's wishes or to the wishes of an external will.
Anyway, Phoebe manipulates the situation to make the perceived relationship between Phoebe and Casei seem more between equals, if we ignore the fact that Casey is absolutely naked in front of a smartly dressed Phoebe who takes the initiative and pushes her to do embarrassing and degrading acts.
The simplest, and probably the correct, explanation for Casey's downfall is that Phoebe simply finds this situation fun and exciting: a "guy" is blackmailing her to expose and humiliate one of her beautiful classmates. These " adventures" take her out of her routine and are exciting for her. Since she only obeys what she is told, she does not feel responsible, and enjoys the illusion of impunity. She has not a real sense of guilt. After all, she is being -forced to do it-. Only in an unconscious way it is a kind of hobby for her, to which she offers her own small contributions.
Here for example she watches with distant curiosity, almost fascination, as a completely naked, perspiring and surrendered Casey writhes in pleasure reacting to the remote and aseptic will of Phoebe's fingers. We can feel how Phoebe has her classmate's sexuality under her control. And, she uses her power to experiment with the mechanisms of pleasure.
But I choose to imagine other, more sinister possibilities.
The next thing that caught my interest was all those automotive books, some focused on auto mechanics, stacked on the floor. And then all those magnificent diagrams hanging on the wall paying homage to historical achievements in mechanical engineering, and basking in their artificial beauty.
They are too obvious and specific to be merely ornamental. I will think they are there in strict compliance with the principle of Chekhov's gun that Velcrofist just mentioned.
At one end of the image is what appears to be a bed (?). This could indeed be Phoebe's bedroom. Those books could be Phoebe's property and those gorgeous diagrams decorate the room to her liking. I find this extremely inspiring.
Greg sees Casey as a girl he respects and loves as a friend and formal girlfriend even in spite of her exhibitionist quirks.
Tara also desires Casey in her own way, which is domineering and possessive and involves disposing of her as a slave or human pet.
Cassandra, on the other hand, is very confused about Casey. She can't help but be attracted to her, but it's a desire she wants to repress until it's gone. In fact, it scares the hell out of her and she is reluctant to think about it. It flies in the face of her strong conservative, classist and heteronormative convictions. Hence she wants to debase and humiliate Casey. Cassandra wants to dirty Casey. She wants to make her ugly at all costs until she stops liking her. She tells herself that she can only be disgusted by a girl who masturbates in public.
But , in doing so, she can't help but feel a certain excitement. She still can't take her eyes off Casey. That is the personal hell of repression and guilt in which Cassandra lives, which she has to hide and conceal.
But what about Phoebe? I dare to fantasize that Phoebe's desires are not at all obvious. They are more eccentric, exotic, complicated...and twisted. Perhaps as a result of being a gifted, neurodivergent, highly educated girl in a privileged environment. A girl who keeps a few little secrets to herself.
I think Phoebe has a genuine curiosity, and Casey is slowly becoming a means to satiate it. So, for Phoebe, a well girl, Casey, or rather Casey's body, is a mechanism she wants to learn from. That is; an object, a thing to be possessed, and disposed of, like a product, like a doll, like a car. All of this would be more or less an unconscious undercurrent in Phoebe's mind. She wants to use it, take it apart, push its buttons, try things out. She manipulates and depersonalizes Casey and thinks of Casey's body (especially with Casey's sexuality) as an object with which to try things out, and a tool to arouse and provoke reactions in others.
Well. I could say a lot of things but I think this post is already too big so I will summarize
The detail of the domestic staff reveals the very advantageous economic situation that Phoebe's family enjoys, and the way in which Phoebe has been raised. Phoebe seems to have no objection and naturally accepts that the domestic service is present during her sessions with Casey. It also seems that these scenes would be set at a time when Casey has completed her journey of self-discovery and accepts the nature of her perversions. She does not seem uncomfortable at any point.
In the case of the painted body version my imagination goes wild imagining Phoebe, a cool chick, writing those dehumanizing vulgarities on Casey's naked body. Too bad we don't have that scene rendered. In fact that process would deserve an entire sequence with dialogue. :-D
Carnicero Total
PS: I suspect that Phoebe is set to be a good customer of the sex shops in town to satisfy "sexual Casey's needs" with expensive, fancy and high-end items. I wonder if Phoebe's house has a basement.
