Tickle Art Opinions
4 years ago
General
What do you like most in tickle art?
A. Person to person contact
B. Machines doing the work
C. Ghost hands
D. Plants / tentacles
E. A mixture (please specify!)
Edit: Why am I asking? In the tickle group on telegram this came up and I admitted that I'm not a huge fan of machines and ghost hands. This primarily comes from the fact that I enjoy that tactile feedback that you get from person to person interaction. This isn't to say that I don't enjoy any of the other options, but I much much prefer seeing someone else really digging in and giving it to the person with a savage grin on their face. It's just more attractive to me than a machine. But this was just my thoughts on it, fantasy material is fantasy for a reason, things that couldn't happen in reality and that's part of what makes them fun!

I like all of the options though.
All that being said, as an artist, when a client ask me to draw magical hands or a device doing the tickling and not another character, the tickles tend to become a LOT easier to draw. Posing one body is much easier than posing two, and you don't need to worry about how in the world you're going to manage to tickle the character's armpits while also tickling their feet when the tickler is just a normal-looking character with no extra limbs. It makes the work go faster. Even when working on a personal level, if I just want to draw up a character being tickled real quick, having a floating feather or barely seen hand on their feet lets me focus on the idea and get it out rather than deliberating over who should be doing the tickling, where the tickler should be standing so that they don't obscure too much, etc.
Because of their tirelessness and relentlessness.
And Person to person CAN be consensual or just as cruel~
