3rd-Art Review

I recently joined the 3rd-Art paysite, out of desperation to find something new in B.E. that was really high quality, and I don't feel like it was really worth it. At any rate, I expect to cancel my membership unless next month's update knocks me off my feet.

The comics/images are mediocre- the comic plots are very basic bimboization/B.E. fantasies, there are typos, and the comics and 'photoshoot' images are mixed together on the same gallery page, so you have to hunt around quite a bit to find the different chapters- not that you really need to read all the chapters to understand what's going on. The photoshoot images tend to be higher-resolution frames from the videos. There is, however, quite a lot of content, and all but the really old stuff is at a good resolution. The site really, really needs some better web design.

The video gallery is large, and goes back far enough that you can see tremendous improvement from the artist over time- but that also means the gallery goes back far enough that the first videos are kind of crappy. One thing I couldn't find mentioned on the free pages was technical requirements- the older half of the videos are all in RealVideo, at what looks like the same resolution as the sample montage, and the newer half are in RealVideo as well as DivX- the DivX files are at much higher resolution. There's around 100 clips available at present, and surprisingly they are all downloadable. The artist says updates occur on the first of the month, and I haven't been a member during one yet, so I can't tell you how big they are.

Depending on what you like, it could be argued that the videos are, in fact, high quality- depending on what you like. Certainly the more recent ones are technically satisfactory. More on this in a moment.

Aside from the desperate need for a site overhaul, the damning points for me are these:

1. The 3rd-Art Site has remarkably little emphasis on breast expansion for a breast expansion site. If breast expansion is your primary interest, you will be disappointed. Mostly, it is about very slutty bimbos with very very large breasts- even the comics, which revolve around a breast expansion clinic, spend at least as much time on things like how slutty and incompetent the doctor's assistants are, the effects of the mind control drugs the doctor secretly gives his patients, etcetera. Furthermore, when BE does occur, it usually occurs to girls who are already so huge that it hardly matters. There are only a few BE video clips that feature women who do not start out with very large breasts, and they're very nice- but I don't feel like I found what I was looking for.

2. Almost everything in the site takes its cues from the kind of traditional low-budget porn that is so often the subject of ridicule. Some of the clips are just women with very large breasts giving head- no more, no less. There is no dialogue in the movies; the moans and grunts sound like they are ripped from live porn, and in the older clips they are very badly synced. There's often no plot. In one clip a very busty asian girl sits down by the pool, feels herself up for a minute, and then in the next shot she's sucking some guy's huge penis, who's head is out-of-frame. Then it cuts to her fucking him on top. The animation is smooth, the model looks fantastic, the moans are reasonably well synced and the porn soundtrack is okay, but the whole time I'm just kind of staring at the video thinking, "This is just like every other porn film ever made."

So, in summary:

1) Poor Site Design
2) Plenty of Downloadable Content
3) Decent to Good Resolution
4) Mediocre Writing
5) Not Much Breast Expansion
6) Very Traditional Porn
