Variants of Other Artists' Works

Sometimes in my spare time (not often), I find myself making custom variants of other foot pieces across DeviantArt. Sometimes Pixiv gets included as well. If there's one thing that irks me, it's drawings that only come in one flavour. Clean feet are comparable to vanilla ice cream, whereas dirty and sweaty feet are comparable to chocolate and strawberry. Vanilla is universally liked, but it's not as distinct as the other two flavours.

I know that it's not always easy to make variants, but it's easier for the same artist to do it than someone who doesn't have the source files. When you have the source, you have access to all the layers and the raw resolution. Things are in your favour.

The most common variants I produce are Dirty and Sweaty. Sometimes I mix them up, but these are the main two to expect. I wouldn't expect something like socks any time soon with my skill level.

If any fellow artist asked me to make variants of their work for them to upload, I'd have no problem doing it. I rarely collaborate with other artists anyway; it'd be a fresh experience. So, if you're an artist and want that, comment below or Note me; I'd be more than likely interested.

Below is a link to a folder where I'll be posting the custom variants I've edited. The folder is still in progress, but most images have links to their original versions and the artists' pages. Always remember that if you like an edit, it'd be good to swing over and give the original artist a favourite. I will slowly add variants to the folder as time goes on.

If any artist reading this doesn't want me to upload variants of their work, they can tell me, and I will delete the variants.

Being on a desktop for this is essential, although Stash works okay on mobile browsers; it's not as bad as Eclipse on said browsers. If you're deadset on using the mobile app, however, you're out of luck. I will attempt to find a partial solution, but yeah, DeviantArt really needs to make Stash compatible with the mobile app.

LEGEND:

C - Clean variant; Since this is how the majority of foot art is initially produced, this will be the least common variant

If you've a suggestion for a piece to obtain variants, you could comment one down below. Keep in mind, I'm not promising that I'll get to it. It's merely a suggestion.

Know that I can only do so much, however. If it's a super complicated drawing where things are blocking the feet all over, yeah, no way in Hell am I touching that. I'd need a source file or a source file copy for that level of work.

Oh, and this isn't included in the folder, but here's a rough bonus:

As nice as it is to have variants. . .you should ask the artist if you can do it. Not leave it up to then to hunt you down and say no after the fact

Sometimes I find myself doing what you do, except it's with basic socked variants. It can be pretty fun doing variants like these!

Nice edits, my favourites are Iris, Tsuyu and Mt. Lady. I also edit other people's art sometimes but I'm too scared to upload it.

I’d like to request both a dirty variant and a sweaty variant (with extra toejam, if possible) of this drawing: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/34022160/

Oh, you're taking ideas here, huh? In that case, here's my next idea: https://www.deviantart.com/jfetishstuff/art/Villager-Girls-Feet-778405111
