The Ruthless #6 Production art - Ariel (Patreon)

In populating our wiki site, I came across these production sketches, and thought they would be fun to share.  These are early sketches of the character Ariel from The Ruthless.

She is the redheaded, hot tempered, sadistic pop star that reminds Stacia of her own daughter that she has in the future (long story).  I'm also including an alternative cover sketch where Ariel was going to be show on a rack.  If I remember correctly, I think we didn't use that version because we wanted readers to get to know who this character was, before diving into tickling implied action.
