mind control, bimbo transformation

These modify the cheeks naturally in addition to the mouth. I generally only use those particular morphs at minimal numbers to add a bit more subtly to my expressions - the bulk of the morphs are done by combining basic morphs with the visemes.

Not a Poser-man, myself, but I used DFormers a couple times to fix silly things like that. I think magnets are a similar thing in Poser. I'm sure there's a better way to get around it, but I'm one of those guys who will keep applying band-aids rather than starting from scratch.

True, and I often work in that same fashion as well. Regarding the automatic cheek flexing in both morphs you mentioned above, I'm sure you already know and have tried this, but you can use the "CheekFlex" morph to soften these flexes greatly, though to do so you'll have to edit the morph's minimum value in settings: usually the morph has its minimum locked to "0", but you can always lower that to "-1" and play with it as a means to soften the creases left by the other morphs. I'm putting a quick test I just did regarding this, with the character's "Happy" morph taken to 1.

By the way, I had a question: This is the first time I'm doing a comic and I was wondering, what software can you guys recommend to make it? For the most part I'll be working on single panels, so I'm only looking for speech bubbles, onomatopoeias and the likes. Would Paint suffice, or is there another free software that might give me more useful options here? Also, can anyone think of a good bimbo name that might sound or share something in common with "Leona"?

I too use DFormers to tweak and adjust little things. They're great for fixing the 'second skin' look that can happen with clothing.

Generally it's a good idea to use something other than Paint. Paint.NET has a good set of basic functions beyond what Paint can do (like layers, so you can put the speech bubbles on a new layer). GIMP offers more functions but is less user-friendly and if you're just looking for simple software, it's probably easier to go with Paint.NET. (Or there's also Pixlr, which is a web application that works similar to Paint.NET or a scaled-down Photoshop.)

Lee-Lee.

Leni?

Also, I just finished another bimbofication sequence everyone! I'm really proud of this one. You can get the whole thing right now for $3.99: https://gumroad.com/l/riiing_by_sortimid

Finally, I don't think anyone posted it here, I drew this before and after image a while ago:

All I think of here is "Lenny" short for "Leonard".

If any of you are wondering, it's excellent.

Ummm, I asked where all the bimbos are downstairs and they said to come here...

That's quite nice. In the end, though, I think I decided on the name I'm going to give her. It's a pretty obvious etymological joke, but actually fits the character's transformation quite nicely. Thanks for the suggestions though, guys!

By the way, I love your art.

Well, you've come to the right place.

A cute sequence.

Hm. It's pretty short already, having just enough letters that a bimbo can count them with only one hand. It's tough to bimbofy it further, seeing that it's already a girlification of "Leo".

"Lea" (LEE-YAH) reduces the syllable count and letter count while preserving the order of the letters.
"Lena" does so similarly, and seems to be more common.

I had started programming a "name bimbofier" a while back, but the fact that accurate results would require a Soundex implementation (kinda easy), and some Markov Chains (not easy at all), I kinda lost interest:
