Shokushu High School

Welcome class. Please settle down. You! The tentacled beast third from the back! Is that a cheerleader? Did you bring enough for the rest of the class? Well, then bring her up here and return to your seat. My lecture is about to begin. If there are no more interruptions I would like to thank all of you for expressing such an interest in my work. It truly gives me joy to know that my humble attempts at art are appreciated. More than a few of you have asked how to create alters such as I do, which is why I wanted to take this time to give you insight on creating live-action alters of your own.

Now then. When creating an alter the most important thing to look at, especially as a beginner, is your original picture. You will find you have a better finished product if you select a picture that lends itself to alterations easily. Several alters I have seen in the past, even if the alteration was done well, fell short because the girl in the original picture seemed out of place. Take a look at the picture below:

This is a nice picture but it doesn't really lend itself to being altered. One mistake I have seen in the past is some artists will use any old picture regardless of what's happening. Notice first of all her pose. Would she really be just standing there if she was being attacked? Not likely. I will look for a picture where the girl's body language compliments the alterations. Arched backs, arms in different positions, certain masturbation or sex scences are things to look for. When the tentacles are added in such pictures it looks like they are supposed to be there.

Here we're getting closer. The pose is good. It looks like they have been suprised by or are running from something in the water. Can you spot what makes this picture unusable? For two girls being attacked by some monster they sure seem to be happy about it! Facial expression can make or break an alter. When I select a picture I will not only look for the correct scene and body language but the girl's facial expression too. A picture where the girl is gasping or in some form of ecstacy, common in hardcore pics work well. Note, however, that if used correctly this picture could still work. Sometimes implied or imminent danger is more compelling than the actual act. If tentacles were boiling up behind the happy girls it would give the impression that they have no idea of the danger they are in. Any moment now the tentacles will strike. That would make quite a powerful piece.

Suprisingly enough sometimes if a girl is laughing without too much of a smile works well too. Let us look again at the picture at the top of the page:

In the orginal she was laughing about the water from the shower. Add some tentacles in the right spot and now she's protesting the advances of some hellish beast. A great source for usable pictures are bondage pics. The girl is already restrained and usually in a forced pose and with the look of fear about her. Just alter over the ropes and chains. Sometimes you will get lucky and find a picture where everthing falls into place.

I have no idea why this gorgeous girl was out in the middle of nowhere in a bikini screaming, but I'm not about to argue. Her body is in a good pose and where her arms are it looks like she's fighting something as you can see in the finished product.

OK. Let's get to the meat of how to make a sucessful alter. Click on the link below and we'll get underway.
