>This wouldve been amazing in early LC stories

I had several sketches to that effect but as I wrote the full story, a more gradual psychological conversion emerged. At this point I don't think Alison would need any magical or physical convincing to end up on her knees.

>what's the light level on the bands indicate?

As established in the full Dark Altar comic https://satinminions.com/img/Dark-Altar-00.html the enchantment on the bands makes her submissive/lustful for her assigned demon partner. It may also have something to do with summoning him.

I made this in my own animation program that I'm developing. It's very smooth because it's vector based with automatic interpolation. It's a bit tricky to animate lines that aren't visible in every frame with that system though, and I didn't really have the tools to fix things coded at the time, so I just sort of stopped.

I think a good way to do it might be to make everything see-through like you'll see in the next animation. I'll work on layering strategies once I get coloring added in.

I don't do a huge amount of planning.
