As an avid hentai fan, I must not be the only one that appreciates the occasional adaptation of good ol’ 2D characters into the world of 3DX. Guhcoituz seemed to know exactly what I was looking for when he started rendering Meiko from Prison School and this has got to be one of the most impressive. Out of the several iterations of Guhcoituz’s Meiko renders, this caught my eye for it’s simplicity and composition. Not to mention for once we seem to see a hint of a smile on Meiko rather than a smirk.
Meiko’s aggressive expressions are kept on the sidelines as he focuses on the lighting and texturing of the latex outfit. Her buxom figure literally spilling out of the suit keeps us aroused. Meanwhile we appreciate the artistic craftsmanship behind this piece. However, Guhcoituz still remains true to the character’s nature through sheer composition. More indications of his years of his years of experience is in the clear contrast between the tempered texture of skin right next to the sleek latex. There is the obvious undertones of a dominatrix coupled with the dangerously inviting eyes. Furthermore, the background doesn’t reveal a setting, both to bolster our imagination as well as keep the focus on Meiko. Rather, Guhcoituz prefers to use a multi shaded gradient that serves as light source, diffuser as well as a backdrop.
Guhcoituz is clearly a staple of the 3DX community. The fact that he’s also an aficionado of the East Asian media just makes him all the more versatile, not to mention striking the right chords with fans like myself. There is clearly room for a merging of the best of both worlds. But until that sweet day comes, I’ll just be enjoying more of Guhcoituz’s works.
