h5.Technical details
h6.The concept
When we were negotiating the details of our collab we wanted to keep our signature styles as is, but how do you blend them together if they look so different? We've been considering different ideas such as portals but decided on using the video call concept.
Then we wanted our characters to interact, so a remote-controlled sex toy was the way to go!

h6.Bending the time
The artwork you see here has a prequel. We imagined our girls being at a huge distance between each other and made a scene where the Doe orders a sex toy on some online marketplace and tells them to deliver it to the Otter.

Thankfully the delivery operates well even in cross-latentspace environments so our beloved Cheetah courier made it in time! The order page in Part 1 says the delivery takes 3-7 days and we actually waited approximately 4 real days before releasing the Part 2 on e6ai.

Unfortunately almost no one made the connections between the parts. Even by the time the 3rd part has been released, "TiberiumCat insisted":https://e6ai.net/posts/82325#comment-30222 the Doe has "missed the hot delivery girl!"

We intentionally did [i]not[/i] create the pool/set/parent-child links hoping the people would notice some common patterns and clues and cross-references between images submitted by different authors. Sadly no one did (at least no one has publicly commented about it), even our mutual Telegram subscribers - which is very weird. [i]oaf40: after all it still was an interesting experiment![/i]

h6.Insights
The main collab piece features a mocked-up interface of a videoconference software. The top and bottom UIs were drawn/traced by hand separately, they are not the same UI copied twice. 

The UI was inspired by the free open source program Jitsi Meet however some adaptations were done in order to blend it into our layout better.

[i]oaf40[/i]: I also paid extra attention to the webcam previews. Of course I could have applied some lame GIMP filter from the Distort group or recompress the picture as lossy JPEG but I wanted to imitate genuine videocodec artifacts as it was a real videocall over a laggy Wi-Fi connection. I employed ffmpeg for this task. Given the low-resolution webcam preview picture, I first generated the 5-seconds video of a still picture with high framerate, fast-to-compute quality preset and very low bitrate:
[code]ffmpeg -loop 1 -i '01 - base - otter preview.png' -c:v libx264 -b:v 150k -preset veryfast -r 30 -t 5 -pix_fmt yuv420p '01 - ffmpeg - otter preview.mp4'[/code]
Then I just carved the very first frame from this video:
[code]ffmpeg -i '01 - ffmpeg - otter preview.mp4' -vf "select=eq(n\,0)" '02 - ffmpeg - otter preview.png'[/code]
