UPDATE: (May 15) The pic's been up for a week or so, and I just NOW noticed I'd left out a detail! Maybe not an important one, but noticeable nonetheless: I didn't draw any earphones coming off her iPhone!!

Anyone else worried that the superstrong woman seems to be squeezing the hell out of the little girl?

Very dynamic & heroic ! A heavy, but compact, truck, rolling along at how many kph / mph, stopped by a super - muscled woman w / time enough to rescue a kid in danger.There should be more " stills " of Tetsuko in action !

EDIT: Yes, you suck at drawing. I don't know why I'm visiting your site in the first place!

Also it just occurred to me, are not the knee and elbow pads redundant? I mean she's in a bikini showing skin already, why cover any more than necessary? ;-D

Dave, don't hate me for this observation, but is Tetsuko *supposed* to be 9 to 10 feet tall? I measured her standing height against the truck and standing on the ground next to it, the top of her head would reach the height of the front cabin ceiling. (Not the raised sleeper cab ceiling, but the driving area.)
Great piece! 
Who's Hello Kitty cell phone is that?

Interesting, because I was worried I hadn't made her tall enough! (She's supposed to stand 6 feet 3 inches tall.)

Maybe it's a short truck, like some sorta european-import-model delivery van?

It's supposed to be an armored truck like the kind used by Brink's. (Maybe I didn't draw it large enough.)

Clearly your goal (among other things) was to show Tet's leg muscles working overtime to stop the truck. Mission accomplished. The mappage and thickness of that left thigh ... yow.

And while your drooling over her legs the little girl is alright and she thanks for asking.

Gotta say, that's excellent work. Great subject, great action, great expression... just great.

Wow, nice job on the shading on her quads- they really seem to pop out.

Man, that is nice work, and you put in quite a bit of time into it. Nicely done!

Just because she is a Pepsi drinker and that is a Coke truck does not give her the right...
Great image!!!

Fantastic to see the finished piece and, I reiterate I love the fact you draw normal, rippable clothing on such invulnerable characters unlike so many super heroes and heroine's costumes.

Bravo, David! Another stunning Tetsuko masterpiece.

Great stuff, DCM. Especially love the power you imbued Tetsuko's legs with. You should draw her being the heroine more often.

Well, once I get her "origin" story out of the way...

Wow.
This is a pretty amazing bit of story telling in one picture

You're such an amazing artist, Dave. Tetsuko helped me come up with yet another cute blonde amazon of my own: Ally Herman. You seen her in my gallery?

Thank you! And do you take commissions?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do. At present I have 12 people on my waiting list (you can see it at the bottom of my journal), so it might take a couple of months to get to you, but if you want, I'll put you on the list.
My commission rates are here [link]

Tet-chan is a true hero and this picture proves it. She took the full force of the armored car to save that child, and she till looks magnificent!!
I am working on part two.

We don't often get to see action shots from you outside of your Tetsuko comic, so this is a special treat! All of the details, especially her tensed left thigh, just look incredible! It's also very instructive seeing all of the steps that were involved.
