DISTRESSED DAMSELS: 2002 Shasti teaches joint locks, plus 2020 sketch set (Patreon)

Very much short on time this mornin'—posting every g-d weekday on Patreon can be a grind, folks—so here's a hasty post with a bunch of 2002 con sketches, recently scanned  from photocopies. No bondage involved as such, but plenty of distress is involved as we see images from a class where Shasti is teaching martial arts joint locks to Kei and Yuri from my version of the Dirty Pair—though they're all wearing the classic chrome outfits designed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko in his illustrations for the Haruka Takachiho SF novels that created the DP. 

IIRC, at least some of the moves are real ones, cribbed from one of several books I own re: chin na, a grappling-related set of skills that apparently spans many different forms of Chinese martial arts and could be considered an analogue to Japanese jujutsu. 

The fourth image is a damsel-in-distress sketch set based on art requests from the $20 tier. Gotta say that I am very, very easily bored with just drawing pin-uppy DiD pics; Empowered exists mostly because I was bored to tears with such pin-ups, and had to generate actual stories to power through the tedium. Not sure what the heck this means for DiD art requests going forward, though I can probably use 'em to test out new Clip Studio Paint brushes once I get my new Cintiq up and running.

TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: I'll be serializing another roughs-based Party of Two story, titled "He Loves Me?", on Thursday and Friday.  Daisies, dungeon-crawling, gnarly action scenes and differing love languages ahoy!
