EMPOWERED "nekomusume Ninjette" con sketch, plus rough (Patreon)

"Nekomusume" meaning "cat-girl" in Japanese, of course.

In a weird bit of synchronicity, the day's previous post featured an Empowered page with a supine Ninjette pose, and later on I stumbled across this 2018 San Diego Comic-Con sketch as a possible post, featuring a supine (if feline) Ninjette facing in the other direction. Why not, said I!

Very, very rare for my con sketches to have separate roughs, but this one does boast a first-draft sketch, as seen below:

Her open mouth works okay in the rough; not so okay in the final version, alas. Oh, well.

BTW, I count this sketch as "life drawing" (per the tag below) as I definitely used photoreference for the figure. (Wasn't cosplay ref, though, as the photo lacked a cat costume.)
