DISTRESSED DAMSELS: DANDELION HAIR vs. DRONE crossover story fragment!
🕑 Added 2020-09-16 14:28:33 +0000 UTCDrawn at some point in the early 2000s, here's yet another incomplete commissioned story fragment in proto-Empowered comic format, this time featuring Dirty Pair's Kei tangling with a drone from Kenichi Sonoda's Cannon God Exaxxion manga (for which I did the English-language rewriting on the Studio Proteus/ Dark Horse Comics translated version, back in the fabled day).
As these pages were never intended for publication, I felt free to pump up the cheesecake level quite a bit higher than seen in a "real" DP story, as the "Escher girl" poses, whimsically waspy waists and, ah, bouncy version of Kei shows:
Note also that I reused a punch of these poses in other commissioned stories (or possibly reused 'em from earlier stories, TBH), as you'll eventually see. Given that these commissions were going out to different patrons, I felt free to reuse successful drawings willy-nilly; in fact, some of the better poses later wound up being reused in Empowered pages, IIRC.
I wasn't kidding about the "incomplete" part, either, as I never quite finished drawing the third page:
Presumably some actual comics work or freelance deadlines intruded, and thus ended the story fragment—and, technically at least, a highly unofficial Dirty Pair/ Cannon God Exaxxion crossover!
TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: Not sure, but prrrrrrobably a few more sets of CSP sketches based on suggestions from the $10 & $20 tiers.

Your page layouts and storytelling are always so well done. Combined with the expressions, it's just perfection. Could I possibly commission a page (or 2) like that? Would love to discuss it!

Extra Cheesecakey Kei is _very_ fine. I would happily commission more of her and/or Extra Cheesecakey Yuri. And ha! I recognized those drones before I even read the description. I miss ExaXXXion. Some fine cheesecake in that one too.

My humblest apologies if I've put you through any distress.

Don't make me gag!

Alas, not by Dark Horse, though I gather some unofficial fan translations finished off the series.

Someone was bound to make that joke.

Was Exaxxion ever completed?
Burninator
Got too busy to finish the piece, eh? Would you say you were a bit ... tied up at the moment?
