** This here is “Ford” and was the product of a failed role play between Cerebral Error and myself. Mostly failed because I am not a very good Dom and have no idea how to Dom large machines short of chaining them up and “tickling” their weird machiney sex parts against their will. However, The initial character idea was sound while being very reminiscent of Anzio and Kamaz. The story behind this, Is its a small farming town in Tennessee and this feisty uber confident and Tomboyish local mechanic secretly bangs this guy Ford whenever his crotchedy old owner shows up to get him maintained. The car shop is owned by the girls father, and many consider it to be the only game in town. None the less the girl “Clement” she gets away with all kinds of bullshit when Fords\’s owner is out at the bar. (this is a bit of alternate reality like Gingys story where living machines are not yet a thing and many are still owned like slaves for fear of being caught). This is my first masturbation pick and is the 5th civilian vehicle picture made.
Other considerations: I consider this old pickup truck to be cerebralerror’s “machinesona” until he tells me otherwise. It really fits him.

There are a number of things I want to dump into this one entry as a way for me to sort of wrap up all the porn I have been making and actually start telling real stories about the living machine world. I slashed my original list, canceled a commission, and decided that I will be instead making a simple sketch of the BMW 1200 adventure bike, Ford and Clement for cerebral, and maybe the F7F for myself and with this I should be done with my regular list. I did also make this pick: 
I cheated to make this pic and stenciled most of the eurocopter tiger when I realized I was just too damn tired and sick to make a full on porn pic proper . The girl didn’t turn out anywhere close to how I wanted her to turn out either, but I attribute this to the fact that I tried to shoe-horn a 3-some picture to save time. I really just wanted an excuse to make a color boat picture of the stridsbat90 because I have now 4 ship pictures and none of them color- which I have promptly failed to deliver. I really like the boat’s facial expression here.. Its an absurd kind of rescue operation ending in sex, and If you know how desperate the Dire machines are for human intimacy in the Atoll lab verse then you could probably tell that the stridsbat can barely contain his desire to be next. In fact hes already reaching his tendrils up to grab her and hes got a huuuggee shipsmile from port to starboard. … I really want a color boat love pic tho… I really do.
The eurocopter Tiger is nice, When it comes to helicopters, Eurocopter tiger and Comanche are tied for 3rd place with Ka-50 and Apache longbow being 1st and 2nd. Im a huge f4ggt for angles and not so much for curves. Doggy style also seems to be my default go-to for sex. I was planning on something else for this girl, actually she was supposed to be being fucked by the ship while giving the copter a hand job but I was too weak to keep drawing. I place a high preference for vaginal penetration over everything else in the sex act, but I DO also love tenderness. I just wish I had a bigger reportage for interesting sex.. truth is.. im laughingly vanilla when it comes to this stuff.

The “war” itself is a fine villain, just as the author of the Comic Sin City says that the “City itself is the characters and the people matter much less individually in the grand scheme of things”. In fact you don’t really need a bad guy per say as long as there is a figurative “dragon to slay” at the end of a long heroes journey. Im constantly reminded of this book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Basic_Plots (even though their are arguments against it- I basically agree with it and no story is original anymore)
The part I am most scared about is the prospect that I will waste my time with whatever I do with Atoll Lab in the future because I cannot conversational dialogue to save my life. Hell, I needed an editor just to fix my scripts for underworld. Well see how to short prologue turns out.
as for the girl, shes got a tendril down her shirt and the truck is getting turned on. there may or may not be a tendril stuffed in someones pussy teasing. But the drawing itself was originally supposed to go this way, it was just about showing the girl and Ford. Cerebral suggested I put the shenanigans in.
I look forward to your story Ratbat. That got me thinking again, about your question “what’s the conflict, who’s the villain?” Well I found that answer obvious, yet, so obvious it’s sublime. The villainous conflict for the HaM storyline is the actual conflict: the war.
Here it’s both helpful and destructive, it’s the whole reason the couples and groups met, it’s how Marion, Kramia, Griffen, Bismarck, E, Mini-Rommel, Chuck, Katelyn, Minnie, and all the others were made was to fight in the war and that’s how they all met. But it’s also why they can’t start a family, why they must leave each other, abandon their home, removed from friends, live in a subconscious coma together deep underwater, seperate friends, hide away, and all of that. It’s the good, and the bad. It’s why and how the couples met and exist, but also why they can’t live like normal couples. It bonds and breaks their unions, just like war does to people in this world. It builds brotherly relationships between comrades, but breaks lives and morals in a moments notice. Their struggles, the couples in my stories, are facing a multitude of hardships that war or morals dictate in one way when desire treads another path. The external conflict ventures internally.
I just went deep, shit. Well that’s a great picture anyway, only… I can’t see too much of the woman’s detail (yet) and the same for that donated picture. It’s really good just… small. Oh well at least it’s proportional.
