By request from Emerald_NSFW, a special once-off sequel to this set from last year!
I honestly loved working on Emerald originally, and she's still one of my favourite characters. So when Emerald_NSFW (her creator) reached out a few weeks ago and asked if I'd like to do a follow-up image based on the ending to MeinFischer's excellent comic "The Mirror of Bellung" (go check it out, it's fucking great), I was like "Fuck, yeah!" XD
(In retrospect however, I probably would have done this in some month other than No Nut November, as it has made my life needlessly difficult...)

Emerald_NSFW has commissioned a bunch of great artwork from a host of very talent artists over the last year; HottSriracha, Fun Boy, Kirin Ouji, and Virus Infected Art to name a few. I tried to incorporate elements of their designs into this version, and mix and match them with a few of my own. As usual, I got a bit carried away and couldn't resist taking the opportunity to give Emerald's model a bit of an upgrade while designing her new look. But I'm very pleased with how she turned out! XD

Even though it's only been a year since I did that original set, I'm genuinely surprised at how much I've improved! Not only have I picked up a ton of new tricks and skills that I'd only wished I'd known about last year (geometry editing in particular is a life-saver), but my experiments with lighting and render settings at long last seem to be getting somewhere! There's a definite improvement in this image compared to ones I've done, especially in the sharpness and clarity of the render, which I'm delighted about!

As always, I hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think!
