Two for the price of...2

Pencil & Paper.

I am trying to play around with some ideas; one of which was to feature two damsels simultaneously. I could only come up with one other damsel that I thought should get the "treatment"...and it is:

Cynthia Heart, an original character by firedragonkaryu. And also, as the source of Cynthia and Peach's state of helplessness is another original character:

Karyu, the bounty hunter. I definitely recommend you step over to his page at

since not only does he have some great characters, but also is a much better artist than I.

Anyway, so back to this scene. A bunch of interesting things. I am working on trying to make eyes opened that are believable...I think I am getting a little better, plus for Cynthia it was necessary. Drawing this stuff is hard enough, but it was even more difficult for me trying to match someone else's style without abortioning the look of the characters.

I also went for a makeshift background, if only to give the idea that since Karyu is smaller than the other two, he must be standing at a distance away from that perspective...I hope it turned out ok.

I usually like to leave up any scene dialogue and/or actions to the viewer's creativity but if I had to ad some words to this then it would sound something like this:

Peach: The knots in my ropes are just too tight. Can you get free?
Cynthia: I don't think so...I'm not very good at this kind of thing. Hey, why are you doing this to us???
Karyu: Well let's see...I need to get groceries...my ride is up for a tire rotation...the electronics store just got in a bitchin' new stereo system...

Comments always appreciated. And again, don't forget to check out
