Reese, redone

So ... this requires a bit of explication. (Also, if you were here briefly the other day, you may have seen an earlier version of this that got posted by mistake and then deleted immediately.)

So, way back in the original flavor Genesis days, I made Reese using the SAV Alpha Male M5 skin and the Axel M5 Reese morph head and body, among others. Long enough ago that the one EXTREMELY NSFW image I reliably know has Reese as originally designed looks very very different from the most recent EXTREMELY NSFW image of Reese. (If the text in that first image is to be believed, that is 100% Reese in all particulars. If I weren't pretty sure that I used the Reese head and body presets for that image, I wouldn't believe it.)

At some point -- and I don't know if it was a conscious decision, though it looks like it may have been, Reese somehow .... mostly disappeared from the character being used for him. (In the NSFW Hell bent for leather, I mention the Reese body, but say nothing about the head, which implies that maybe the head morph is gone at that point, along with the tattoos. I don't remember deciding that his head should go, but that was more than two years ago.) This was then compounded by shifting him from Genesis to G2M -- I moved Reese over before I moved any of the Axel M5 morphs, which meant that whatever there was in the character couldn't make the transition, because there weren't any Axel morphs to hook into.

I noticed that the Axel M5 morphs weren't there when I wanted to make "Unapologetic". (...we'll just take the whole NSFW thing as given, shall we? Let's shall.) And I realized that this meant that Reese wasn't all there. In fact, there were a few other morphs that I'd used that weren't there, either. Effectively, apart from being weirdly muscular because M5 himself WAS there to attach to, all there was in Reese was M5 Phillip with a different texture.

So, I rebuilt Reese with his own morphs, as he was more or less originally designed, complete with the Aging Morphs that he's had since he lost his head.

And ... I don't know. It may just be that I'm used to him, but I kind of ... prefer M5 Phillip with the Alpha Male texture as Reese to Reese as Reese. I mean, I like this guy just fine, but ... well. Maybe I'll do a couple different covers for the fourth book in the Toys trilogy (hey, if EL James can do it that way, so can I), one with each Reese, and see how it looks.

The outfit is mostly M4 Hakash, which I picked up because it was very very on sale and kind of irresistable. The cup is from Sickleyield's Genre Undergarments, because I tried putting masculinization morphs into Hakash, and it did not take that At All well; all of the belts stretched and looked weird, whether I used the morphs in the pants or the morphs in Reese, and, well ... that's the sort of outfit that really should say "Am I pleased to see you or did I just put a canoe in my pocket? Down, boy, down!" Or something like that.

Also, the fact that he's wearing the padlock we saw in "End Play" is meaningful, yes.
