DISTRESSED DAMSELS: DANDELION HAIR vs. JUNGLE GIRL, pt.3

(You can check out the previous installment of this story here.)

Wellp, I'm down to the last few commissioned DiD stories in proto-EMPOWERED format, folks! This one's from 2003 or thereabouts, based on a simple request from a very generous friend in a time of great financial need for Yrs Truly: Dirty Pair's Kei pitted against a fairly generic Jungle Girl in a cheesecake-intensive struggle session!

This incomplete episode wound up being surprisingly ambitious by its inconclusive ending (twenty-odd pages hence), though these early pages aren't all that demanding or detailed. At least Kei—or, here, "Dandelion Hair"—gets to put up rather more of a fight than most of the (possibly simulated) Bondageverse DP iterations. Gotta admit that cramming some form of action into these DiD commissions made 'em a lot more interesting to me as an artist, as just drawing damsel-y poses gets boring in a hurry.

A few words:

This time, I can tell you that Kei's saying—or trying to say—"And don't come back!" Alas, Generic Jungle Girl comes back almost immediately.

With this page, things started to get a good deal more detailed. Might've been that, by this point, I wanted to draw some actual comic pages without the tiresome work stages I used for "real" (that is, published) comics work; this would, a year or two later, lead to Empowered and its pencil-based format.

Lordy loo, depiction of water in a commissioned piece! With a notably more "boing-boing" (per the HoloLive EN folks)  than usual Kei, no less!

Next week, a new character appears! Brace yourselves, needless to say.

TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea, TBH! Might be a few sketch sets from this month's unusually high number of $20-tier art requests, assuming I can finish any tonight. Or I might show some fresh-off-the-drawing-board Empowered vol.12 pages, if I can find any non-SPOILER-y ones.
