Keisuke Mall Bench CGs (Rough Sketches)

From TiltSHIFT once again, we're in the process of replacing the last of the placeholder CGs in the visual novel with commissioned custom ones that we have the rights to.

Unlike the changing room CGs, this one deviates a lot more from its placeholder variant, as you can see from these images and its design document (NSFW warning as you scroll down). There are a lot more variants with expressions and poses as this scene (for the vast majority of players) is where Z loses their virginity to their best friend, and that's an important moment that deserves special attention with buildup and extra polish. So far, the extra arm variants look really good.

Roughly, the order events are:

• Z and Keisuke just missed the last bus back to campus from the mall after a busy day getting clothes and other supplies Z will need

• Exhausted, Z collapses on the bench and Keisuke stays standing

• Keisuke wants to get a ride with something like Uber, but Z, the grandkid of a union representative, refuses to use anything but a taxi service

• Z looks up a place and calls it

• Gets picked up pretty quickly but is told, "Would you mind me putting you on hold for just a moment, ma'am" which kind of messes with Z's head

• Keisuke impatiently asks if they have a ride yet, Z shoots back in annoyance and tells Keisuke they're on hold

• Keisuke once again tries to suggest they just use a ride share service and tells Keisuke something like "over my dead body" which makes them briefly think "which one?"

• Z comes off hold, gives an address, and it told it'll be 45 minutes because there's an event downtown that's causing delays

• Z thanks the operator and confirms the ride, then tells Keisuke the estimate

• Ai shows up briefly and tries to make this a vote because she finds this insistence on a taxi stupid, but Z overrides her and goes into a short rant about how shitty Uber et al are to their "employees" and that they won't be giving a single yen to a company that creates such an awful gig economy

• Ai is then told to buzz off and Z puts their phone away

• Z thanks Keisuke for the day and wholeheartedly tells him he's a lifesaver and how he's always been there for them, but Keisuke shuts her down and says something like "friends don't need to thank each other"

• Z insists on Keisuke taking their thanks, and Keisuke scratches his head and says, "Well, if you really want to thank me..."

• Z jumps to conclusions and stammers "W-W-Wait, w-we can't have s-s-s-s-s-s-ex outdoors while we wait for a taxi!"

• Keisuke stares at her and says he was only thinking about a handjob, then asks why Z jumped to them having sex so quickly

• "Because I'm signed up for a sex game and you're my partner in it?"

• Keisuke tries to say stuff like "your first time needs to be in a situation where you're more comfortable" and "I don't want gratitude sex" that really annoys Z

• Z says, "Just pull down your fucking pants before I change my mind, dude."

I'll be posting the NSFW sketches of this CG set as I get them, but due to Patreon's ToS I'll have to lock that behind Patron-only posts.
