DISTRESSED DAMSELS: Late-90s sketch-set odds & ends, plus HUSHED HALF-ELF!

Decided to give poor Officewear Lily a break from her ongoing workplace perils and put up a grab-bag Distressed Damsels post of recently unearthed incomplete commissions from the late 90s and/or early 2000s. A few words:

This page was gonna be a continuation of an "Kei--nay, Rose vs. Cocktail Dress" story serialized here a few years ago. If anybody feels like tracking that story down in my sprawling Patreon archive, feel free to post a link to it in the comments.

The next piece is an unfinished DiD sketch set...

...that was gonna feature the mage I created for an RPG illo commissioned by the videogame mag PSM: 

Note that the elven mage's design lives on with the (human) mage girlfriend from Hushed Half-Elf:

...who will be making new appearances very soon, as she's an integral part of my upcoming fantasy RPG(-ish) project that's merging characters from Hushed Half-Elf and Party of Two into a thoroughly bats**t new premise. Yay?

And for a li'l more DiD content, here's another Hushed Half-Elf piece, seen here a few years ago:

And, hey, how about another such piece, likewise from 2019:

No idea if any of you newer Patrons had already scrolled all the way back to 2019 to see these older pieces; if not, then they'd be "new to you," as the used-car sellers say.

Next up were some incomplete late-90s "quad" sketch sets in montage comic format of Kei--nay, Rose & Lily, previous examples of which were posted here years ago (which, again, I have neither the time nor the inclination to look up):

(Note that each panel above would've featured a different scene, setting, and character/costume design.)

And here's a rough for one panel of another, even more incomplete "quad"-format page:

Definitely in-character for Rose to be unreasonably upset about her "Hypno-Butt" being outshone by Lily's "toothsome rump" (per Empowered's Caged Demonwolf). Now, that would be distressing!

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: Brace yourselves for Failed-Project Friday's inaugural post of roughs and script for the defunct miniseries Empowered and the Mask City Meltdown, folks!

Note that Big Spenders of the $10 & $20 tiers can expect to see s'more damsel content by Friday, as I'm planning to put up some art-request sketch sets as your Monthly Bonus Post, and dang if all of 'em I've drawn so far haven't been DiD images. Golly!
