DISTRESSED DAMSELS: "When Pint-Size(d) Ninjas Attack," part 3! (Patreon)

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

Behold, the third installment of a fairly lengthy and extremely goofy commissioned story from the early 2000s, featuring a suspiciously bondage-prone—yet still plucky and defiant!—iteration of Dirty Pair's Kei and Yuri unsuccessfully battling "the Pint-Size(d) Ninja Platoon."

You might recall from earlier con sketches posted here that the Pint-Size(d) Ninjas had previously been depicted distressing these damsels, in pieces probably dating back to the late 90s (judging by the facial designs):

Wellp, IIRC, one of my long-time commissioners was especially amused by those sketches, so in my spare time—over several years, mind you—I knocked out 25-odd pages of wee dumbasses struggling to capture Kei and Yuri.

Anyhoo, after a tranqed and trussed-up Kei was hauled off by the Platoon at the end of our previous, we've jumped to a new, Yuri-centric scene drawn a few years later, though only a few hours elapse within the context of the story. Next Wednesday, this longer—and, as you'll eventually see, more ambitiously drawn—sequence of Yuri in peril continues. Look out for the (SHOCKING SPOILER HERE) Pint-Size(d) Ninja, Yuri! 

In further DISTRESSED DAMSELS news, last week I mentioned the following:

Not sure when (or if) I'll post it here, but a few weeks ago I worked on a similarly formatted comic commission with an unusual take: The request was to work Emp into an apparently well-known damsel-in-distress scene from Jamaica Inn,  an early Hitchcock movie I'd (vaguely) heard of but not seen. (Amusingly  enough, Charles Laughton's outfit from that scene strikes me as so  outlandish that I probably could've ported it over directly into Empowered  supervillainy.) As I said, not quite sure I'll post the pages here,  though, as I actually find it a bit disturbing to depict Emp as quite so passive and tearily submissive as poor Maureen O'Hara in that Hitchcock  scene. (Er, unless said submissiveness is part of role-playing in the bedroom, of course.)  

Wellp, I sketchy-sketched my way through quite a few pages of that commissioned episode and will prrrrrrrrobably end up posting it here, but will likely reserve that for the $10 and $20 tiers if so. (Lord knows I don't give the Big Spenders all that many perks beyond first dibs on art requests and, eventually, commissions.)  Even though the "story" is pretty obviously Emp's feverish POV from some form of outlandish bedroom role-playing scenario, these pages shade further into straight-up BDSM territory than I would feel comfortable putting in a conventional Empowered volume. (Plus, TBH, the pages are too tossed-off and sketchy to fit within a canonical Emp book.) 

Beyond that, if I have to time to get to the end of this episode, the narrative features a MASSIVE F**KING SPOILER for a key change to the status quo in Empowered vol.12, which would be another rationale for limiting its exposure to the fewer folks in the higher tiers. So, stay tuned, Big Spenders!
