Anyhoo, courtesy of *Zubby 's cellphone camera, here's a sketch I did at FanExpo Toronto this year for ace photographer Paul Hillier, who earlier last summer shot some truly astounding cosplay of my character Empowered*: [link] He wanted an illo of my version of the Dirty Pair, and I knew that he was aware of the insanity of "Pon Pon Pon," so I decided to merge the two concepts in one sketch.

Other than the way Kei's hairline gets a bit wonky in the upper right corner, I thought the illo worked out pretty well. Medium: Sharpie and HB-lead pencil on 11" X 14" Bristol board.

More more Dirty Pair-related art, check the DP folder in my gallery: [link]

*She's the title character of Empowered, my ongoing "sexy superhero comedy" series published by Dark Horse Comics. Say, here's the cover from the latest installment of the franchise (click on thumbnail for more info):
