My old eListas groups still exist! A couple of weeks ago, some people at Hentai-Foundry told me they remember my work from my original eListas groups. So I looked up the old groups, and they are still there! I thought eListas faded away loooong ago!

WACOM TABLET - Got a Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet for my PC last Monday. It's going to be a long, hard learning curve to get going with this thing! HERE's my first attempt at a sketch!

The Martian Manhater : redesigned
Actually, she's not redesigned at all. MM was pretty much right where I wanted her from the start. I just need to do more drawings of her.
Her full name is J'izz J'onzon, the Martian Manhater, and she's obviously a satire of a certain green alien member of the Justice League. I remember the exact moment I thought of her. I had decided that Ultra Fem's team would have 5 main members, and I had come up with several new characters (more about them later), but I didn't have what I really wanted yet.
My thought process was something like this: Each character needs to fill a certain role or stereotype. UF is Superman, Night Mistress is Batman, The Scratch is Wolverine. I've rejected ideas for Shazam and Captain America types, so what else is there? Something that would again be very different from the others. An ALIEN! Four arms and four tits, like from John Carter of Mars! Wait, the JLA already did the green alien thing with the Martian Manhunter... MARTIAN MANHATER!!!!
I was walking across my living room into the kitchen when the name came to me, and I laughed out loud! That's it! She was in!
She doesn't have much of a back-story, but I do have ideas about her first meeting with Ultra Fem. UF invited J'izz to join the team after two of the founding members left. Where she originally came from, nobody knows, but she's certainly NOT from Mars.
Here's a couple more new sketches. J'izz has shape-shifting powers, and you can see on the right where I started to give her stretchy arms. Maybe I'll do that in some future art. With what I've seen in current hentai trends, maybe I should think more along the lines of "goo?"

'The Scratch' redesigned - -
This strange lady was the third character I invented for the Ultra Fem team. Like Night Mistress, she grew naturally out of necessity. I needed something that was different yet again from the two existing characters. They were both tall and busty, with stunning good looks, so I thought I'd go 'opposite' of that.
'The Scratch' is what happened! She's little, wiry, NOT traditionally pretty... and MEAN AS HELL! Her invention happened very quickly, and her name just popped out of thin air. I didn't want a predictable 'cat-name,' or any other silly animal for that matter, so after a few minutes of thought, 'The Scratch' came to me.
Her look was easy, too. Again, she's the opposite of Night Mistress. Short, spiky hair, no fancy outfit, barefoot, BOOBLESS. So she didn't need to be redesigned from the bottom up (or 'from SCRATCH' haha), she just needed more finishing. I never felt like I got her just right before. She needs to look SCARY. I don't want her to be ugly, but I don't want her to fit any typical comic-book stereotype, either.
I think the latest sketch above does it pretty well. She's lanky, bony, and mean-looking, with ropey muscles and clawed hands... and she's also quite beautiful I think!
The other interesting thing I did when I created The Scratch was to make her and Night Mistress lovers. Again, it just seemed like the natural thing to do. They're so different! According to the back-story I have in my head, the two have been together since long before joining the Ultra Fem Five, when they were a vigilante duo. NM is bisexual but loyal to Scratch, while Scratch is aggressively and exclusively lesbian.
This character was definitely the least favored among my few readers back in 2005-06, but when she finally got to have some strong scenes in episode 3, people changed their minds. The Scratch has always been one of my favorite inventions, and out of all my characters, she has the most complete and complex back-story. I know her full name, her origin, her family, everything. And I know her future, too.
Here are two other sketches that helped me get to this point.
