Artist's Comments

The first official step in entering Tetsuko in the Maidens 08 competition spearheaded by :iconhemisphere: Each entrant must submit a "character sheet" so here's hers.

I decided to throw a couple of facts in there that haven't been revealed about her. For instance, it's true that the upper limits of her strength haven't been discovered yet. (Here's my thought processes on that: I want to establish that the heaviest known weight she's lifted overhead so far is 670 tons; now I just have to determine what that weight would consist of. Would a fully-loaded railroad car be that heavy? would you have to stack two or more on top of each other? And she was able to shift that weight onto one arm and press it up and down for three reps, so she's capable of even heavier lifts...)

And the idea for the "exquisite muscle control" came to me just the other day; I guess I'll have to do an animation to show you what that's like :D

Anyway: I am rather pleased with how the art came out on this. If I ever needed to come up with an "official" portrait of Tetsuko, this would fit the bill nicely.

I assume that the "bending a quarter with her abs" trick you drew her doing a while back would fall under the heading of "exquisite muscle control"?

Wow. Nice little index-card profile.

It'd be pretty neat to see one of each your other characters (Dyna, Satin Steele, et al)... if you had the time. :sarcasm:

The info per se has raised a few concerns... I thought originally her upper limits were lifting 100 tons. I'm a bit concerned that her superpowers might be leading into the "silly" zone, especially since I guesstimate-figured that at a mere 100, lifting a Honda accord would be like the average person lifting a pound of butter.

However, once again, it's a nice little intro for people who've never had the joy and pleasure of meeting T-Chan. :)

I've been wondering what you would put for this one.

The pic seemed familiar but its really nice and its great to see. (keep going back and forth on entering a girl in this myself but unfortunately I just like having control over my own characters and I have a hard time letting others use them without worrying they'd ruin them or write them better than I do)

And probably one of the few examples that DA would allow to be shown, heheh.

Well, I imagine that the "individual bicep head flex" part has already been demonstrated by the Valentine's Day '08 picture, in which she flexes a heart shaped bicep........

Plus I imagine if it goes beyond that it's something along the line of Popeye's spinach feuled flexing of his bicep into a multi-headed monster before it becomes gigantic..........

"Seemed familiar"? Maybe because I draw that hands-on-hips pose a lot? (Maybe too much?)

Well, that's what I get for not writing stuff down. I'd forgotten about the 100-ton thing. Well, comments about dA deviations don't necessarily have to be canon...
