In the midst of the seemingly endless, Sisyphean nightmare of drawing a shockingly time-consuming Harley Quinn story this month, managed to piece together some sketch sets of long-suffering Lily (from ongoing DP damsel spinoff dealie Rose & Lily) based loosely on this striking image I was sent a while back as part of an art request:

...and cue the distressing scenario, conveyed mainly through scribbled dialogue as I surely ain't drawing passenger starship interiors:

For the record, that first shot of Lily above was based on another striking image I was sent:

(Might have to do a life drawing based on that shot sometime.)

Anyhoo, outta sheer goofiness I spun off a tangential page based on that last line from Lily's flight attendant captor:

Aaaand back to reality briefly, before another tangential aside finishes off the next page:

Gotta admit that I like the goofiness inherent to the idea that the other images on these page somehow aren't artistic depictions, whether AI-scraped or not.

And to close things out, a hasty rough for platter-served Lily:

...followed by the rough I preferred:

And that's all I got for you today, DiD fans. Now, back to penciling ol' Harley and her hyenas! (Awesome that I'm starting HQ work today at 9:30am, which means I've already blown most of my precious morning shift on webcomic and Patreon updates. Ouch!)

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: In theory, I'm rolling with every-weekday posts to finish off November, so you'll definitely see something on Monday, and at least one more Distressed Damsels post during the final three days of the month. (Possibly two, if I'm forced to deploy that "Emp cosplaying Jamaica Inn" story as this month's Big Spenders Exclusive Bonus Post.)

You know, I would like to point out that Yuri, and thus possibly Lily, is in fact canonically trained as a comic artist (one of the textbooks in the comically large stack she's holding in the flashback/Keis imagination in Plague of Angels is a Kubert) Given her enhanced senses and precision motor skills, she could probably knock out the whole short in a leisurely day, two tops, if she were so inclined.

Also, this is top tier stuff and I'd love to see more.

Starting to think the glimpses into Lily's distresses are the failed branches of Freeware training sims. Somewhere in the simulations there's a Lily who avoided capture, or at least managed to escape once the attendants began their safety demo.

Or they could be successful branches of a breed-a-submissive-alt-persona plot assembled for Sinister Reasons.

Now I'm imagining the bands (not a bondage pun) of Lilies. * Successfully escape: used for Freeware distributed to agents. * Submissive resignation: flagged for espionage division for captor subterfuge. * Restrained and resistant: ideal struggling damsel for super-heroine sims. Insidious, but intriguing!

Or... how flight attendants should deal with unruly passengers.
