The Task

"So... how to start this...Hmm. Alright, let me try to explain. I have this dream, a project I wanted to do for ages. But I could never figure out how to get it going. I want you to understand that this is really a big thing for me, one of those once-in-a-lifetime ideas..."

"Sounds great, but I have no clue what you are talking about. Can you be a bit more specific?"

Gula smiled, "Some years back I created an e-book called 'HYPNOS'. It was one of my first attempts to actually earn some money with my art. I sold it on some websites and got reasonably good results, at least compared to what I expected. But it was only an ebook, and soon I wanted to have a real book, something tangible, something you could put in your library and show to friends…

"Then I saw your movie, I saw you, the perfect incarnation of Yeina, a girl that was apparently willing to put herself into rather... difficult... situations. Situations that I have devised for my OC Yeina were suddenly played out on screen, in front of my eyes, by a real person! I was speechless!

"And then it just hit me. I remembered that dream, remembered how much I wanted to create a real book with my work. I couldn't stop thinking about how incredibly amazing it would be, to have such a book with my work complemented by actual photos of the same scene, modeled by you!"

Jana frowned and asked, "Just that I get this right. This book would have your drawings, accompanied by a photo of the same scene, side by side? So, for example, on the left page there would be an illustration, and on the other side next to it, there would be a picture of me posing, imitating the drawing?"

"Exactly! Of course, it would need to be real high quality pictures, with just the right lighting, good looking scenery, plenty of effort to get the setting right and so on. I'd die from embarrassment, if the result would be just sloppy pictures, looking like they were done by a poor art student during his spare time. I want to have this done professionally, want to treat my own work with the respect it deserves. Sure, it will take tons of effort to get each photo right, but it will be worth it in the end. I despise mediocrity. If we do this, the result needs to be absolutely flawless!"

Jana was getting curious and thought about all those drawings she had browsed through. She absolutely loved those light hearted, funny ones, like the one where two girls stuck her big boobs through some panties and use them as makeshift bras. So adorable!

She vividly remembered some pictures of Yeina in her bed, sunlight caressing her soft, sensual body.

Or another one, where she was standing in front of a mirror. Beautiful pictures. She would definitely enjoy posing for those!

But others seemed to be rather difficult to recreate in a photo session. Like the one where Yeina is getting scanned.

Or the one where she's in a bar, surrounded by monsters, offering her milk for money. They would obviously require rather complicated props, monsters and other mythical creatures, which would be quite a challenge in itself.

The waitress approached them, with a tablet full of things, and barked, "Can you please make some room for your drinks? Your tits take up all the space already, and I need to put your stuff somewhere!"

And before Jana could even react, tiny hands pushed briskly against her breasts as Becky placed a cup and a glass on the table. Jana was startled by the sheer audacity of the girl, but bit her lip and didn't complain.

Gula was irked and muttered, "Unbelievable! Could you be any more rude? I expect you to apologize to my friend for this, immediately! Or I'll have to talk to your boss!"

"B-but this..," the waitress started, but then she came to senses and said, "I'm sorry Miss. This was inappropriate and rude indeed. I hope you can forgive me?"

Jana blushed even more, but managed to nod and mumble, "Apology accepted."

Becky grabbed her tablet and vanished, leaving both Gula and Jana gaping at what just happened. The table indeed was small, and soon Jana's more prominent attributes sneaked back and claimed space to an extent that the shirt-covered nipples pressed against their drinks, threatening to push them from the table.

The artist said, "Sorry for that, what a bitch! But let's focus on our project again. Let me show you something."

He opened his bag and fumbled out a folder that he put on the small table, brushing Jana's breasts with it. She grinned and pulled herself back a little to make a bit of room. Her assets were anyway irritated quite a bit, with one breast pressing against that chilled glass of iced tea and her twin nudging against that hot coffee.

Jana, of course, had thoroughly reviewed the artist's portfolio in minute detail. She had analyzed every one of his illustrations she could find on the web and now tried to remember them, tried to picture herself posing for them. She was already getting worked up by thinking about all those pictures and daydreaming about how she would pose to imitate them. How it would be, to have the artist tell her what to do. How he would grab her heavy tits and push them around, so they would look exactly like they were expected to.

"This is a print-out of 'HYPNOS', my first e-book. Those are the pictures I want to recreate with your help, basically every picture of Yeina in there. We'll make a fancy book out of it, to show off my early work and extend it by adding pictures of the same scene."

Jana looked through the file and cringed at some of the pictures. She remembered most of them, and an awful lot was rather... challenging... to recreate, as far as she could tell. But, she also felt a stimulating buzz in her loins. She was a sucker for challenges, and she knew it. It would be incredible, to succeed with such a task, to show the world what she was capable of. She was ready to give it a shot. And, after all, some of the pictures looked like good fun to pose for!

"Interesting idea," Jana responded, "But some of those have monsters and stuff in them. So you need plenty of props and decoration, and that will cost. A lot. Do you have the funds to make this a reality?"

"Well, that's where the problems start. Short answer is, No. Honestly, I don't even have enough money to buy the bare minimum, like professional photo equipment and stuff. And surely not enough to pay the professionals needed for the job."

"So you need to get other people to pay upfront..."

"Yes. I have already started a poll on my website, in the hope that my fans would hand over some money. But the response was pretty lackluster so far. People want to see some samples first before they get invested, I guess."

"So let's create some samples then! If they get a feel for what they are paying for, maybe that will motivate them to pay up? We can take some of the easier pictures with no complicated setting for the start. That shouldn't cost too much..."

"But it needs to be perfect; otherwise it's just diluting the message. I don't want to turn people off with poorly made crap!"

The two discussed vigorously over coffee and cake. Only when it got dark, the two recognized how quickly the time had passed. But finally, they had laid out an actual plan. And Jana was convinced that it was a good one. Gula had made some quick calculations to show the potential, and if his assumptions were right, this project would pay off big time. The only thing that was holding them back was the initial investment for the first few pictures.
