Distressed Damsels: BIZSUIT MICROSKIRT BLUES, pt.2 (Patreon)

(The first 4pp of this story fragment can be seen here. ) 

From 2003 or thereabouts, here are the pages 4-7 of a commissioned DiD story featuring Dirty Pair's Yuri winding up in a most distressing situation. Had a li'l more direction than usual with this one, as the commissioner in question wanted something featuring, well, a tight skirt, after a recent con sketch along those lines had caught his eye. 

Notes below:

Behold, stripcuffs that confirm their locked status! No doubt they're wired into an internet of (bondage) things, too; gotta say, such "smart restraints" would make escape artistry rather more difficult in an SF environment.

Re: panel 3: Yeah, that's rather more cheesecake that I would've shown in a "real" DP story. (Well, maybe.)

Yuri's unusual slouched pose in that "chair-tie" is derived from an older commissioned DiD piece (which I'll likely post here, someday), which in turn was based on an image supplied by a commissioner who wanted me to replicate this shot from an issue of DC's Constantine book Hellblazer:

That is a really different damsel pose, gotta say.

Next week, we close out the incomplete story fragment that is Bizsuit Microskirt Blues. Bonus material will include the manga page that inspired Yuri's scandalous office attire, as well as the scandalous Empowered outfit that was in turn inspired by this wacky episode—or at least by the bizsuit's microskirt.

TOMORROW: Time for another half-chapter of I Am Empowered, the (likewise incomplete) Twitter-format prose experiment!
