We find Asuka Langley Soryuu naked, bound and gagged on a bed in her quarters.  The question is not how does she feel about this, because it's quite obvious that she's pissed.  The question is who did it?  Was it Shinji, finally tiring of her constant abuse and teaching her a lesson - - or giving in to the feelings he denied?  Or was it Misato, to get her out of the way so SHE can make a drunken pass at young Shinji?

Not a lot of people can be naked, bound and gagged and still look elegant.  Storm is one of those.

I'm posting it here because, while it might pass the morality police at Deviant Art, why take the chance?

Had the whim to do the sort of picture I regularly did on the old Shackled Senshi site.  This is Sailor Pluto held prisoner by some entity who means her no good.  And since she doesn't regularly run with the other senshi, it could be a while before anyone misses her.

I'm posting it here, of course, because Shackled Senshi is in an ongoing holding pattern and Deviant Art would burst a brain capillary if something like this graced their bandwidth.

The clean version of this picture is on Deviant Art.  But I thought an X-rated version was just as appropriate and it didn't take that long to paint out her clothes.

Another old piece of art I found and decided to color. 

As I recall, the characters are college roommates.  Shelley, the black girl, has always wanted to find a real life Barbie doll and indulging in the fantasies she had as a girl.  Linda, the white girl, is open to any sexual experience so long as she's tied up while doing it. 

A match made in hormonal heaven.

Fiona Fox has captured Sally Acorn and Nicole.  Since Fiona and Sally don't get along, Fiona takes the opportunity to take some very rude, humiliating liberties with her captive while Nicole looks on helplessly.  I'm posting it here because of the adult themes, in spite of the fact that they're anthropomorphized animals and who the fuck should care if one of them is molesting the other one?  But some people do.

Here's a new picture I whipped up on a whim, featuring Sam Manson from Danny Phantom as a very reluctant harem girl.  I'm posting it here because there's a 99% chance that Deviant Art would classify it as an underage character (which she is) in a sexual situation (which she likely is) and nuke the thing.  For anyone interested, Sam is gagged under that veil, mostly because you should have heard the language when she was captured and dressed like that (pink!???). 

I think she looks nice like that.  Makes you wonder who the lucky sheik is.

A fourth of July themed request I did a few years ago with Stargirl about to experience the rocket's red glare.

Just doodled this one day and I liked it so much that I thought I'd finish the picture.  Bet the guy who changes the bottles in the water cooler would take notice of this.

Got a mind to, so here we see Temari and Ino from Naruto bound, gagged, blindfolded and stashed, patiently waiting for someone to find them because there's not much else they can do.  Naturally I'm posting it here because this picture would give too many other sites fits.

Just a little pic of Tsunade from Naruto, done up naked in shibari in pink ropes and a big fat ball gag.  Because that's the way Tsunade from Naruto looks best.

I'm posting this here even though it "technically" doesn't violate Deviant Art's rules (Tsunade is fifty, after all) because posting Naruto characters there often gives me trouble and who needs extra trouble?  That's one of the reasons why I opened this blog after all.  So I could display pictures of Tsunade in all of her ample glory and not be hassled by prudes.  I may even do one of Ino or Temari if I get a mind to do so.

Christmas picture I did with Rogue from one of the X-Men animated series (I forget which one) wrapped up and under some lucky stiff's tree.  Of course all the recipient can do is admire the gift, as touching her would be bad, m'kay.

The multiple facets of Raven's personality are having a "discussion" over who gets to be in control.  Looks like Dark Raven is winning.

If I remember correctly, the picture was inspired by an issue of the Teen Titans Go comic book.  The obvious appeal of this picture is that I got to draw Raven tied up three times in one picture.  I guess I got a little wild with the expressions.  It's also one of the early times I began experimenting with color modeling.  Some of it worked, some of it didn't.  That's the nature of experimentation.

My attempt at depicting Nancy Drew, star of about a bazillion teen adventure novels.  Since Nancy's look has evolved over the decades, I tried to give her a more modern appearance.  But one thing never changes with Nancy: she does get into trouble from time to time.

I also experimented with a "painted" look", i.e. eliminating the black "hold" lines.  I don't know how successful it was.

 Mademoiselle Marie, one of the more obscure characters in DC history, back when she was a French resistance fighter in World War 2.

I was going through some old folders and found this.  It was a picture I'd done back in 1999 for a story I never got around to writing.  The principal heroines, Qiana (on the left) and Serena (on the right) were college buddies vacationing in The Bahamas.  There they run across a smuggling operation while scuba diving and get captured by the nasties doing the smuggling.

Cut to 2012: Upon finding it, I got the urge to color it.  The biggest problem, since Serena and their attacker are VERY dark skinned, was choosing a background color that could convey evening without making the two darker-skinned characters disappear completely.  After all, there's no point in a voluptuous beauty like Serena being tied up if you can't see her.

As for the story itself, it'll probably never get written.  But if I find another old drawing with Serena and Qiana (especially one with Qiana wearing her glasses), I might just decide to color that one, too.

Qiana and Serena are copyright and trademarked by me, so hands off you wolves.

Terrorists have invaded the NERV classroom and taken Rei Ayanami, Hikari Horaki and Asuka Soryuu hostage.  What are their demands?  To see three cute teens tied up in their school uniforms.

Mission accomplished.

This was my first attempt at drawing Rei and Hikari.  It was either first or second time drawing She Who Must Be Obeyed.  Rei's a little off.  Drawing that haircut gives me fits.  And the perspective on the desk in the foreground is terrible.

This cover fake was based on the anecdote I'd heard about the origins of the Barbara Gordon Batgirl.  Seems that in 1966, when the Batman TV show was in full mania, the producers went to DC Comics to see if they had any other villainesses in the Batman lore, as the Julie Newmar Catwoman episodes had garnered a lot of positive feedback.  Carmine Infantino came up with a pile of sketches for villainesses, one of them being Poison Ivy and another Silver Fox.  Well the producers tossed ideas back and forth with Infantino and Julie Schwartz and at one point Poison Ivy was going to be on the show.  Then they changed their mind, deciding instead to use Silver Fox, but as a partner to Batman.  Then Silver Fox became Batgirl.  And DC, who had earlier done a Poison Ivy story in anticipation of the TV show, brought Batgirl out in 1967 in anticipation of the show.

So, doing my best Carmine Infantino impression (which isn't that good), I did a cover showing Poison Ivy taking revenge on "Silver Fox" for cheating her out of appearing on the Batman TV show.

My reinterpretation of the cover of All-Star Comics #42.  Once again, the eyes are too big.  And I should have put a menacing shadow on the floor.

Here we find Blackfire having fallen into a trap she set for Starfire and now the pair of them are helpless prisoners of the Gordanians.  This is probably one of the pictures that got me in trouble with Photobucket.  Ah, I do enjoy drawing Blackfire in compromising positions.

There are a couple of problems with this picture.  The Gordanian is positioned a little too close to the prisoners.  But more importantly, both Starfire and Blackfire's faces are drawn too harshly.  Yes, their features are twisted up by the naked fury they both feel (they're probably furious about being naked, for one), but I probably could have done it without twisting the beauty of the characters' faces.

Here we have Star Girl shrink-wrapped for delivery to some nefarious organization who bears her no good will.

This is an example of my not being able to translate the picture in my head to paper.  It just doesn't look right, but I don't have the skill or knowledge to know why it doesn't look right.

Blackfire has acquired a new pony for her stable.  Naturally the ponygirl was her dear sister. 

Looking back on it, the picture does share a theme with the Shego/Kim Possible pony pics.  I guess I'm beginning to repeat myself.  It is a favorite theme.

I did this picture because Rei Tachibana from the anime Pani Pony Dash is hot.  Unfortunately my attempts at humor are less so, as are my attempts to draw some of the other characters "deformed".  Just look at Rei.

This was taken down from Deviant Art a few years ago under the pretext of "minor characters in a sexual situation".  What caused it to be "a sexual situation"?

The ball gags.

Apparently ball gags have a secondary perception among some people as being visual shorthand for oral intercourse.  Which was a new one on me, I have to admit, when that little decision came down.  And here I thought they were designed TO KEEP A CAPTIVE QUIET!  But Hell, why stop there?  The ropes across their chests could be visual shorthand for fondling them!  The crossed ankles could be visual shorthand for enforced chastity!

And all I wanted to do was draw a picture where the two characters shared the name "Raven" (Raven Simone being the voice actress for MoNique).

And besides, why were they objecting?  The site is called "Deviant Art".  But I redrew the picture with tape gags and everything was fine.

This was done for a challenge on another website.  I think it was "what if Ocelotina (from Adam Warren's excellent 'Empowered' graphic novels) hosted characters from other publishers on her cable show.  This time she's got Ms. Marvel, and boy does she 'got' her.

The biggest problem I had with this was imitating Adam Warren's unique manner of drawing faces.  It's not something I'm as yet comfortable with, either drawing or looking at.  Sometimes he really goes overboard.

An old piece I did of Kuukaku, a minor character from Bleach who caught my eye for two things common among Bleach females: An unusual design and a big rack.

This was a variant to a pin up piece that's posted on Deviant Art.  It involves Kim posing in the Santa jacket, cap and boots, but some convenient ribbon has been added to make her a seasonal-appropriate package.  I just wonder whose tree she's ending up under: Ron's or Shego's.

Did this right after the release of "Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo!".  The idea of Madelyn Dinkley appealed to me.  So did the idea of Madelyn and Velma sharing a little bound time together.  In retrospect, I was so busy trying to make sure Madelyn's face was on model that I let the exaggerated length of her thighs get by.  

Another cover fake, this one of Harvey Comics' Black Cat, my all-time favorite golden age heroine.  If I did it over again, I'd make the line shading solid black areas and move the caption to the lower right corner.

My fragile memory has once more failed me on this.  Obviously American Dream is a Rule 63 interpretation of Captain America, but I don't recall whose design it was (it's not mine - - I would never have dreamed up those boots, effective as they are) or why I drew this particular picture.  Challenge?  Request?  Don't recall.  Sorry.

But it does prove that some male characters work under Rule 63 and some don't, and Captain America is one that doesn't.

As much as I love drawing DiD, I love being funny.  Whether I'm successful at that is, of course, up to the audience.  When I can combine the two, it's a real treat.  Here we have one such attempt and it's one I'm particularly proud of.  Everything in this picture works: It's a nice design, the characters are on model and the joke is kind of cute.

On a side note, I miss My Life As A Teenage Robot.  The show was very pleasant, Jenny was adorable and the art design on the show was different from anything on the air.  Why Nickelodeon canned it so they could run Spongebob twenty hours a day, I'll never know.

An alternate version of the picture I recently posted on Deviant Art.  As you can see, the home invaders stole more than just the Griffin's money and valuables.  Close the door, Peter.  I'm certain they're feeling a draft.

I'm posting this picture here because, due to the subject matter and the participants involved, Deviant Art and Imageshack would deem it one step below buggering farm animals and lower the censorship hammer.  Now clearly from a look at Kim's body (and it's not like anything is hidden), this picture takes place when she is over twenty.  I made it as obvious as I could without tattooing her birthday on her hip.  But to those folks, she will be eternally sixteen and off-limits to such humor.

And it IS humor.  Yes, the scene is very fetishist and that's 50% of the appeal.  But the other 50% is the joke (I hope).  Drakken is discovering just why Shego is so willing to help him capture Kim Possible.  Of course, Drakken isn't too bright about things like this.  We've known Shego has dreamed of this thing for years.

And maybe Kim has, too.  If you believe the KiGo shippers, this is just as wet a dream for Kimmie as it is for Shego.

Another failed piece, mainly because of the proportions.  If you remember the show, Electro-Woman was bigger than Dyna-Girl.  Here it looks like I drew the Electro-Woman figure and then traced it to produce Dyna-Girl - - I probably did.  As for the position, I was recreating something I'd seen Eric Stanton draw.

Another older, inferior work I'm posting because, as bad as it is, someone with little taste might repost it and claim it as theirs.  Paranoid?  It's happened before.

I've tried many times to draw Vampirella, but something about the character always seems to escape me, usually in the face.  The perfect Vampirella was always the version Jose Gonzalez drew for Warren.  At Gonzelez' hand, she was the perfect combination of dark sexuality, feminine vulnerability and animal ferocity.  I never seem to be able to capture that.  In this picture, the "anime eyes" sabotage it.  So do the bangs and the cute little nose.  The color is too flat, too.  The layout itself wasn't a bad idea, but the execution is terrible.

A picture of Kanami Chidori from Full Metal Panic, which I'm posting only to establish that it's mine.  It's not very good.  The layout is awkward, the rigging uninspired and the likeness is barely credible. 

Another new picture I'm premiering here, rather than on Deviant Art or Imageshack.  This way there's almost no risk of the picture getting pulled because someone got offended.  If this offends you, you're looking at the wrong blog, boy.

I've really grown to appreciate Blackfire recently.  She has all the good qualities of Starfire (and why not - - it's basically the same design, just a different expression and different hair color), but there's that bad girl edge to her perception that Starfire doesn't have.  It gives her a naughty, illicit appeal, like sex with her would be breaking the rules.  Now not every DID picture I do implies the potential for sex, no matter what some might claim.  This does.  Blackfire is in that predicament for one reason only.

I've also noticed that, since Blackfire is a villain, that it seems to be tacitly OK to subject her to more cruelties than you would, say, Starfire.  At least in my mind.  After all, she's a villain.  She wouldn't blink at doing it to you (and that's a whole 'nother can of worms).

A picture of Keiko Yukimura, Yusuke Urameshi's love interest (when he can find the time between macho-fest brawling) in the anime Yu Yu Hakusho.  It's not a bad drawing, I suppose.  I would have made the pleats in her skirt a little less prominent.  But the picture itself just doesn't command the eye.  It's just sort of 'there'.

I may have already posted this on Deviant Art, but I can't remember.  Regardless, here it is: Cutey Honey, captured by the minions of Panther Claw, along with police inspector Natsuko Aki, from the Re: Cutie Honey OVA that was supervised by Hideaki Anno, based on his life action version.  And as mercurial a talent as Anno is, he scored big with this perfect OVA.  Honey is a wonderful combination of newborn innocence and action anime badass, while the addition of Natsuko Aki balances Honey's naivete with a character of professional drive and experienced cynicism.  Not to mention that sexy women in jackets and tight skirts are hot.

Sadly this OVA isn't available in the US unless you go the bootleg route.  If you can find a dealer you can trust who sells bootlegs, this is a fantastic three-part series that combines all of the classic Cutey Honey elements with some eye-popping visuals (and a little crude humor) from the man who gave us Evangelion.

One of the great qualities of Gene Roddenberry was that he understood how well sexy-dressed women can be to dry material like science fiction.  Now Star Trek had, in its first two seasons, some excellent, thought provoking scripts. But it also had sexy ladies in appealing costumes, both on the crew of the Enterprise and in whatever alien culture they were visiting.  That's one of the things Rick Berman never understood, and it's one of the reasons the later spinoffs were less memorable.  I know, Seven Of Nine - - how long did it take Berman to learn that lesson?

Anyway, to the picture: A Federation officer and a Romulan officer are captured by a band of wild Andoran women for purposes that wouldn't pass network Standards And Practices review, so I'll leave it to your imagination.  But Gene Roddenberry would have loved the plot.

Triplicate Girl, from one of the later incarnations of the Legion Of Super-Heroes.  I can't keep track anymore.  DC changes things almost annually.  Anywho, it just proves that splitting yourself into three selves can be used for more than just crusading for justice.

Storm, in the uniform I'm most familiar with, suspended in a room and subjected to some debilitating heat effect.  Once again I was trying to be creative with the background and it didn't really work out.

When I first saw the designs for Powerpuff Girls Z, the anime remake of the US born Powerpuff Girls, I was excited.  The redesign of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup were first rate, and I could live with most of the redesigns of the villains.

Then I saw the show.  It was just a LITTLE bit juvenile for my tastes.  But damn Bubbles looked cute.

Kikyo, the dead priestess from Inuyasha.  I don't remember if this was a request or if I just decided to draw her.

There was always something a little tragic about Kikyo.  She tried to be a good person, but always fell a little short due to her own inadequacies.  Contrasted with Kagome, Kikyo does come across as a little arrogant, a little vindictive.  But there's a lot of good within her, too.

A picture I did contrasting the television Starfire with the comic book Starfire.  Poor TV Starfire is envious of her older, more well-endowed comic book self. 

I always loved the way George Perez designed and drew Starfire.  She was a wonderfully unique creature, ten kinds of sexy, but an innocent kind of sexy.  She was like your little sister, if you little sister happened to be a Playboy pinup.  And the way he drew her hair as this cascading mound of curls was magnificent.  It had to be a lot of work, but George Perez never seemed to shy away from such detail.  Bet his inkers loved him, though.

The way they draw her today is just a little more cynical.  She's like your little sister, but after she's had two failed marriages and a stint in rehab.

In the late 40s, Timely Comics (predecessor to Marvel) got the notion to start producing female superheroes.  It came from the response Miss America got when they gave the character her own title.  Why she got her own title in the first place probably lies in publisher Martin Goodman hearing how well Wonder Woman and Mary Marvel were selling.  That was also about the time Harvey Comics gave Black Cat her own book, so Goodman may have sensed a trend.  So he flooded the market with female-oriented titles and characters: Millie The Model, Tessie The Typist, and other such titles, along with Miss America, Namora, Sun Girl and The Blonde Phantom.  Plus Golden Girl replaced Bucky in Captain America.

Unfortunately, sales on the others didn't match sales on Miss America.  Millie and Blonde Phantom stuck around a few years, but the others quickly disappeared.  It's too bad.  Blonde Phantom wasn't a bad book, although her costume is totally impractical.  And Namora was fairly interesting.  Timely and later Atlas didn't do a bad job with female heroes.  Venus under Bill Everett was very good, and Lorna The Jungle Girl had some nice stories by Don Rico and some nicer art by Werner Roth.  They just never stuck with them, just like Timely and Atlas rarely stuck with anything.  And the next interesting female Marvel would produce would be the Black Widow, and she was a villain in the Iron Man comic.

A very old picture of Jean Grey as Phoenix.  Of course such simple restraints could never really hold Phoenix.  But we can dream, can't we.

Kimiko and Katnappe, two of the more delightful aspects of the show Shaolin Showdown.  I was trying to get a jade effect with the background, but I don't think I pulled it off.

Another cover fake, this one featuring my three favorite members of the Legion Of Super-Heroes.    I kind of cheated a little and had Shadow Lass in her original uniform while Dream Girl and Phantom Girl are wearing the uniforms that Dave Cockrum redesigned for them.  I just like that version of Shadow Lass better.  The art shows one of my weaknesses, that being my impatience with multiple figure pictures.  I also don't know what I was thinking with the background building behind Dream Girl.  That perspective is just psychotic.  Curt Swan could have taken this layout and done a much better cover.

Back in the day, I used to occasionally do what I call "cover fakes", where I'd draw scenes I'd like to see and then add in the logo of an actual comic book so it seemed like it was an actual cover for that comic - - given that it was featuring my semi-pro art.  In this sequence we find Rogue and Mystique captured by a third party who doesn't mean much good to either one of them.  It also fulfills a minor fetish of mine, that being mother/daughter damsels in distress.
