DISTRESSED DAMSELS: $20-tier art requests, HUSHED HALF-ELF & more!
🕑 Added 2020-04-15 13:42:13 +0000 UTCBefore continuing serialization of the Pint-Size(d) Ninja Platoon (ahem) "story," thought I'd post a random grab-bag of recent damsel-in-distress commissioned(-ish) sketchery that's been piling up of late.
First up is a Clip Studio Paint sketch set based on April art requests from the Big Spenders of the $20 tier. Note that, for an artist who can't draw resemblances worth a crap, trying to depict Rey in bondage without any of her familiar costumes is pretty much impossible; so, I just drew one of her hairstyles and called it a day:
Note, BTW, that I only figured out how to consistently pull off that "white lettering with black outlines" Clip Studio Paint riff halfway through the page. Whoops! (Note also that I do that because inverting the text to white helps disguise how utterly godawful my digital-format hand-lettering looks. Just cannot letter worth a crap with the ol' Apple Pencil, sad to say.)
And below is the Bettie Page photo that the Sexy Librarian Emp image was derived from. Of all things, I thought Bettie's left arm was really interesting from a life-drawing POV, as I rarely draw women's arms in that specific pose:
Meanwhile, I'd mostly forgotten that I'd sketched out a few more pages in the Hushed Half Elf "potion gnomes" episode a few months ago. I tacked on the previous page in the (ahem) "story," as our bondage-cursed heroine was struggling to escape capture by a pair of gnomes running a potion shop; when we left off, one of her wee, would-be captors was hurling a vial of "sovereign glue" at her:
The new pages start off with our pointy-eared damsel partially avoiding the (ahem) glue:
...but then pulling free of the sticky stuff and turning the tables on her diminutive tormentors:
What can I say, folks? I liked the idea of the vexed Half-Elf using her magically boosted voluptuousness as a weapon.
Aaaaaaand that was about it for the new Hushed Half-Elf pages, drawn a few months ago for a long-time commissioner who's cool with such loosely sketched pieces.
Along those same lines, t'other day I knocked out a similarly quick and sketchy Empowered piece for another long-timer, who wanted something featuring Distressed Emp with her hands tied in front of her, a rarely seen pose (more for in-universe practical reasons than anything else, TBH). So, cue sketches of Emp multiply lassoed by unseen villainous cowboys(?):
Not sure when (or if) I'll post it here, but a few weeks ago I worked on a similarly formatted comic commission with an unusual take: The request was to work Emp into an apparently well-known damsel-in-distress scene from Jamaica Inn, an early Hitchcock movie I'd (vaguely) heard of but not seen. Amusingly enough, Charles Laughton's outfit from that scene strikes me as so outlandish that I probably could've ported it over directly into Empowered supervillainy. As I said, not quite sure I'll post the pages here, though, as I actually find it a bit disturbing to depict Emp as quite so passive and tearily submissive as poor Maureen O'Hara in that Hitchcock scene. (Er, unless said submissiveness is part of role-playing in the bedroom, of course.)
Anyhoo, next Wednesday the Pint-Size(d) Ninja Platoon goofiness from the early 2000s will continue, with Yuri now taking her turn as the teeny-shinobi-targeted damsel. Wheeeee!
Tomorrow on this here Patreon: Serialization of the unpublished 2003 story Dirty Pair: Quick & Dirty continues, this time featuring by far the most ambitious "camera zoom-in" sequence I've ever done in my entire g-d career. Huzzah!

More Hushed Half-Elf, yes! I love her crushing with her assets.

Love "poor" Ocelotina's situation! Good ole restraint membrane is always such a great tool.

Some fantastically fun scenes here, it's always so much more fun when a gal doesn't let such things as being caught stop her from winning anyway! XD

Obviously, Hushed Half-Elf is a mistress of the Flop-fu fighting style! She is particularly adept in the Between Two Mountains hold!

Lol amazing

Adam, as always thank you so much for doing my request and for providing all this superb content for us! I get such a kick out of seeing these sketches and the content you post daily makes being stuck inside all the time a little more bearable. Personally, I hope we will get to see the scene you made based on Jamaican Inn. One of the things I really love about your Patreon is getting to see a lot of content that is never going to be published so I don’t think it matters as much (to me at least) seeing characters acting out of character for a little bit. That clip also reminds me of John Willie’s art and now I’m wondering if he ever used it for inspiration in any of his work.

That is one hell of a fighting style!! :'D

Ehh, I think I talk about my frankly limited progress in messing around with digital mostly in the sketch dumps, which are searchable under the "Clip Studio Paint work" hashtag (when I remember to apply it): https://www.patreon.com/adamwarren/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=Clip%20Studio%20Paint%20work

Hey Adam, Again, just amazed at the quantity and quality of your work. I don't know how you get it all done! As an action fan, I really admire the choreography of your fights. The Hushed Half Elf potion gnomes glue/breasts/leg lock gag is priceless. I was curious about your plan to transition to digital. If you've already discussed this, a link would be appreciated. Thanks for all the entertainment!

Fun stuff, as usual.

Well done, Sir! I appreciate it!
