DISTRESSED DAMSELS: S'more EMPOWERED sketch sets ahoy!
🕑 Added 2024-05-20 13:30:01 +0000 UTCLast week, whilst grinding through the seemingly endless script for issue #1 of Unidentified Fantasy Offering (which I'm still working on this week!), took a break every few hours to whittle away at some Empowered "straight-damsel-cheesecake" sketch sets based on a few long-standing requests.
One such request involved yet another DiD scene from the late-70s run of Marvel's Spider-Woman getting an Empowered revisit. At some point I might do an Emp version of the issue's striking if somewhat misleading cover illo:
...or maybe not.
Anyhoo, the story mentioned above had a scene with the death-seeking fella getting into an explosive bike crash, leading to Jessica getting bedamseled again:
...which is the set-up for this damsel-centric sketch set, though I didn't care to draw the undying fella:
Sadly enough, that Emp pose at lower left began to seem weirdly familiar to me, until I wised up and remembered I'd drawn the same g-d pose (from the same piece of photoref) not long ago for a $20 art req still in progress:
Even more annoying was the fact that that earlier sketch worked much better; ughh.
Ah, but that wasn't the only pose I struggled with on that sketch set. Here are some earlier pose roughs:
...which were based on ref photos I took of a "Body-chan" figurine:
...which I could not pull off as viable drawings, alas. Here's another bunch of roughs as I kept trying:
While I wound up using the pose at upper right, the pose at upper left was (unsuccessfully) based on another Body-chan photo:
Onward to another sketch set still in progress:
Two of the poses were based on photoref, sorta, with the one at lower right being derived from the indirect (probable) photoref used for an old Gor novel cover:
Pretty sure I once did a Dirty Pair commission based on that cover (one of several such pieces, in fact), but danged if I can find that piece.
Anyhoo, gotta say that I'm still rusty as hell at drawing Empowered content, given that I drew my final vol. 12 pages well over two years ago; I'll keep whittling away at these sets in my nonexistent spare time, for whatever that's worth. And now, back to endless Unidentified Fantasy Offering scripting!
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea, TBH, but something should be coming up in the next M/W/F slot. Let's find out together, shall we?

Funny enough, I've thought about doing an art request with that rather ridiculous Spider Woman cover before

You need an articulated drawing model with a biggger ass.

It's always a ton of fun to see the thought process and design work that goes into the ideas you work on, whether they're "clean" or on the naughtier side. It's fascinating stuff, and thanks for sharing it!

S'more? I bet Emp would enjoy sitting by a campfire, toasting a marshmallow over it and making herself a smore 😁

"straight-damsel-cheesecake" is one of my favorite things about following you. Loved the pics.

Nice to see a potpourri of sketches, pics and scans.

If you want a real chuckle, read John Norman's spectacularly clueless sex advice book. It's as insightful as it is considerate of women.
