DISTRESSED DAMSELS: Late-90s LILY double-page spread sketch sets!
🕑 Added 2022-05-19 14:30:19 +0000 UTCNOW COMMENCING EVERY-WEEKDAY POSTING TO FINISH OFF THE MONTH OF MAY!
Courtesy of a generous friend from back in the day, here are more scans of some loose sketch sets of Dirty Pair's Yu-- nay, Lily in distress drawn between comic pages at some point in the 90s, judging by the costumes and chara designs. (My friend was a serious "Lily in distress" fan, so you can likely expect to see more such sets along these lines.)
These loosely sketched sets were all "double-page spreads" of sorts, as I drew each on the back of an 11" X 17" photocopy of a full-size comic page. Alas, on at least two of these sets, I was drawing Lily images right in the center of the spread where the photocopy had been folded in half, hence the wonkiness when I tried to merge the scans.
The first two tape-based sets were supposed to be based on the unseen supervillainess Shasti taking Lily captive once again, though the former was only represented by word balloons which I deleted from the scans, as in retrospect I found her dialogue to be sketchy as hell. (Even without the looming threat of Patreon Trust and Safety, I wouldn't feel comfortable posting that particular content.)
The final set was based on an odd conceit My Generous Friend wanted explored in more detail, as it's a reference to the scene in 1995's Dirty Pair: Fatal But Not Serious in which Bad Y**i trusses up Good Y**i with interface cord, which might well set a record for the least viable restraint medium imaginable:
(Thankfully, My Generous Friend didn't insist on rigorous or realistic depiction of restraint types.)
However, note that this is Yu--nay, Lily wearing the later costume from my final few Dirty Pair projects, as this was commissioned sometime in the late 90s.
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: Time for s'more Failed-Project Friday wackiness, I'd say!

I'm not sure interface cord is that nonviable; telephone cord has been used in multiple kidnappings, and interface cord probably has relatively similar characteristics.

True, but in all fairness to 1997 Me, that scene WAS taking place within the context of a goofy-ass movie.

Dunno. Tying up a Supergirl-level superchica with Hot Wheels track in your Gen 13 days seems a tad more unrealistic.
