DISTRESSED DAMSELS: Unfinished comics(-ish) commissions
🕑 Added 2021-05-05 14:01:03 +0000 UTCScrounging through old material, stumbled across a bunch of (mostly) incomplete commissions in comics format—or multiple-sketch "montage" format, at least—seeming to date back to the early 2000s, judging by the character designs.
A few words:
This one's semi-complete, though the fact that I still have the original artwork suggests that this piece was never properly finished and sent off. The commission was loosely based on a DiD scene from a DC Isis comic from the 70s—drawn by Wally Wood, no less! (That must've been one of his last published jobs, though I've never bothered to check on the matter.)
Next up is an unfinished montage piece based on Elise from the PS2 snowboarding videogame SSX:
Dunno if the commission was cancelled, or if I ran outta worktime, or just got bored and never bothered to finish it. Anyhoo, years later I would draw Elise not only for the videogame magazine PSM but also as bonus material in the actual SSX3 game. Yay!
Next up, a familiar-looking damsel:
Yeahp, that's Caitlin Fairchild from Gen13, sporting fetching (and low-riding) Daisy Dukes whilst being "laid low" by (I presume) a power-draining lasso or the like. This page was left unfinished for reasons unknown, but I'm pretty sure I did another such Fairchild commission that ran for three or four story pages; if I can dig up the scans from wherever they hell they're archived, I'll post 'em here someday.
Finally, a booty-centric Empowered page rough never used in the actual series, with poor Emp getting tranq-darted:
Ouch!
POSSIBLE REPOST QUERY: Say, does this Dirty Pair--er, Rose & Lily comic-format commission below look familiar to anyone? I found the 5-page story fragment's jpegs in a folder of scans that had already been posted here, but have no recollection of posting 'em:
Lemme know if this rings a bell!
TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: Yet another Work Stages post, folks!

That’s unseen before Rose and Lily.

That's not a repost, no. And my my, there's a lot of good booty in nice shorts and pants in this update!

I have a pretty good memory for your posts and I'm fairly certain you've never posted that Rose and Lily comic in the time I've been here

Also, I checked: Wally Wood's last mainstream job appears to have been some inks for Wonder Woman 269, published July 1980, while the only issue of Isis he ever did (I pulled scans, and it does have a damsel scene, so that's the one) came out in October or November of 1976.

The rose and lily isn't a repost; I went back and read every damsel post and every DP post pretty recently, and that one wasn't there.

Some great art here, even if it's unfinished !! Even it's a repost, let's see the Rose / Lily art in the future.
