November 2025 Update
I don't have too much to share this month, due to a combination of more unique pinups and extra pages for UC1, I didn't get a lot of time to spend on BT2. Next month, the UC1 story will move inside of the bondage strip club, which should be a fun new setting to explore.
In the meantime, I thought it might be interesting to share how I organize my reference images. I have a collection of around 3k images I've collected that I use for a variety of purposes.
- Inspiration for scenes, contraptions, or types of bondage to include in a story.
- Specific female pose and anatomy reference for how the female body deforms in various poses.
In order for a library of reference like this to be useful, it needs to be easily searchable, and I came up with a system for this. I have all of the images indexed in Adobe Bridge, and painstakingly went through and tagged each image with keywords containing useful information.
- What activity or action is being performed?
- What types of bondage are used on each body part (if any)?
- What position/pose are any subjects in?
With this metadata on the images, I can then do detailed searches to find exactly the images I need. For example, I can do a search for "LayingSideways" and "HandsTiedBehindBack" to find only those images. This is super useful when I need to find reference for "how do breasts deform in this specific position", or "what pose options do I have if the character has their hands tied behind their back at this point in the story".
While it is a bit of a chore to set up and maintain this system, it ends up being incredibly useful to instantly be able to pull up the exact image I need from a library of 3k random reference images when working on a comic or pinup.
