Hey guys, I really liked the feedback you gave me in the previous post. It does help! I'm currently working on a new piece that should be ready soon.

This post is going to be really short. Basically, I want you to tell me specifically what kind of art you'd like to see. E-mail me at [email protected] or leave a comment. Tell me what characters you like and what kind of scenes you like. This is your chance to let your ideas all out! I will use this information to better tailor my artwork. The whole idea is to make content that people want to purchase.

Just a disclaimer though, these are NOT art requests.

For reference, here is a list of the top 10 most viewed damsels on Sleepycomics.com (based on pageviews):

  1. Wonder Woman

  2. Supergirl

  3. Black Canary

  4. Batgirl

  5. Zatanna

  6. Catwoman

  7. Wonder Girl

  8. Red Sonja

  9. Black Widow

  10. Vampirella



Give me more feedback guys. Thanks!

My top choice would be Wonder Woman, with Supergirl coming in second place. It would be fun to see a physical KO for both heroines!

Would like to see limp arm carries.

I'd like to see one with the new spidergirl carried unconcious. One because she's rarely been ko'd, and two because I think you'd do a great job with it. I'd definetly get it if you did that.

@clone When you first mentioned Spider Girl, I thought of the May Parker version. But I did a Google search and found the Anya Corazon version, and she's actually quite a sexy character.

I would think focusing on sexy heroines who maybe aren't as prevalent as WW, Black Canary & Batgirl. One of the ThunderCat girls, Mary Marvel, Tesla Strong, Kim Possible or X-23. Also mention if there is a carry or bondage part in purchase description.

@chlorodon The risk in that is that less popular characters will get fewer sales. But maybe I am wrong about that?

Also, I put all KO/bondage types in the description.

@Red Yeah, I would love to see you do a Panther girl pic, but I realize that she wouldn't have the mass appeal of Wonder Woman or Supergirl, etc.

I'm a fan of the big DC heroines there, Supergirl, Wonder Woman/Girl, Black Canary, Catwoman, Batgirl. Marvel girls would also be cool. I do like all your Sailor Scout ones you've done. Another group of characters I'd suggest is videogame heroines, not all cross over with comic books but a few do.

As for KOs, I like chloroform ones the best. Gas is cool along with injections. Some non traditional KOs I'd love to see is a good kryptonite weakening for Supergirl or some sort of energy drain.

Bondage of some type at the end is cool too.

@SGKOfan okay, you are in luck because the big DC heroines are the top damsels here. They get more views than any other character, which is why I focus on them.

Video game girls will be popular I think. Especially if I do something from Street Fighter or Soul Calibur, or some other fighting game.

@strife I think it's interesting you mentioned Samus Aran. I could possibly do a drawing of her in the Zero Suit, in some sort of classic sci-fi peril scene.

Too many ideas!!!

@Red Samus has always been a favorite of mine. Seeing her KO and tied up in her zero suit would be awesome.

Maybe you could try improving facial expressions Red. You've done a stellar job with the details, shading, proportions etc. but there's a lack of 'feel' in the damsels you render on paper (or computer). Anyway, this is just my opinion... As for the listed heroines.... hmm... Red Sonja, unconscious, limp, laid out. Heck, maybe I'll try drawing that.

@ijustwatch thank you for pointing that out. I agree, it's frustrating when he faces don't turn out quite right.

It's a learning process and I feel I am getting better on that front.

Starting the store has definitely made me better.

@Red Good for you, nice to see someone doing what they like...

I have another suggestion -- the Wasp! It would be fun to see her at miniature size, unconscious in the palm of a villain's gloved hand.

Oh yeah, forgot, there should be more unconscious/sleepy pictures of Tifa from final fantasy, seriously, not enough of them around... (fun fact, tifa is also the name of an Indonesian traditional musical instrument, if anybody cares...)

I purchased your Supergirl chloro art. Very cool. Although it would be nice to see a continuation. Like her unconscious in the villain's arms then craddle carried.

@sgfan1 Thanks for the purchase.

Judging by the feedback, it seems people like arm carries a lot, so I will incorporate that more.

Red Sonya sword drawn about to strike,then Chloroform. Ending with a limp cradle carry with chest protruding,rounded hips,mouth parted really work on the soft helpless face.
