DISTRESSED DAMSELS: WORK STAGES on another CONVENTIONLESS CON SKETCH featuring EMPOWERED & MINI-MAIDMAN(?)!

Wellp, one of my remaining art requests from the $20 tier featured the quite frankly unreasonable suggestion of "Empowered's Maidman rescuing the girls (presumably Emp & Ninjette) from the Pint-Size(d) NInja Platoon," who have menaced Rose & Lily on many previous occasions. In fact, I already did a similar request earlier this summer with Emp laid low by the Platoon:

Anyhoo, I used the suggestion as the basis for another Con Sketch-style illo, with the main damsel pose derived from a recent Empowered rough sketch set:

 That was too good a pose not to reuse, as seen in the illo's underdrawing:

I decided to make The Goddamn Maidman Pint-Size(d) as well just for the hell of it, and also to devote most of the illo's available space to Emp's figure. Onward to the Sharpie-based inks:

And the final colors:

The piece once again took four full work hours to produce, which is waaaay too long to be viable for further pieces along these lines; oh, well.

As with the other two pseudo-Con Sketches I worked up this month, I'll likely try to sell off this piece down the road, but I'm way too swamped with other work and real-world crap to contemplate doing so at the moment.

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea, TBH, but something should be coming up in the next M/W/F slot. Let's find out together, shall we?

UPDATE: In fact, stand by for an exciting update on fantasy project The Chaste and the Chained next!
