You know, the creators of Totally Spies! were going to animated series based on her series, but due to disagreements, it was scrapped and we got Team Galaxy instead:Β www.catsuka.com/news/2006-08-2β¦

This IS awesome, you totally nailed the looks, it's perfectly her.
(I still read the comics. As long as Roger Leloup makes them. She was the first comic character I had crush on. And the only one,)

Thank you so much. 
Ich lese die Comics auch noch. Alledings haben mir die alten besser gefallen.

Mir auch. Die Zeichnungen sind nicht mehr so prΓ€zize. Aber das allererste mit den 4 Kurzgeschichten (Unter Hochspannung) war von daher auch noch nicht so gut. Das letzte, Band 28, fehlt mir noch.
Roger Leloup ist ja Jahrgang 1933, jetzt also ungefΓ€hr 85, bis dahin muss man es erstmal schaffen. In dem Alter darf man schon etwas nachlassen, denke ich...

Yoko: Ugh! This belt is so tight. Why am I wearing a belt with my jumpsuit in the first place?
One of the belt straps: .....BWOOMP! *snaps off*
Yoko: *looks down* Oh no.
The entire belt: PLOING! *pops off*

I like Yoko very much too.
ItΒ΄s a pity that there are only a few pictures of here on DA.

That's a darn good rendition of Yoko. Kudos from Belgium
And yes, Yoko Tsuno is indeed one of those series that deserve some extra exposure on the 'net. Nice stories and amazing art. Though I'll have to admit that I get the feeling that the last few albums, Leloup has been trying to put too much story in one album. Most of those stories could easily have spanned two albums.

Thank you very much.
For me the older stories are the better one.

I've read a few of her books too. Some were pretty silliy and stereotypical, others were really good. Anyway, I like Yoko. And your picture of her too.

Wow, really well done, I've always admired your Kim drawings, but this is a perfect Yoko Tsuno.
I've read them all and enjoyed them. Specifically, the technology is credible.
PS because I know the character so well, I will liked to give som constructive critique and mention that Yokos breasts here are almost as pointy as Kim's, usually they are rounder.

Thank you very much.
I know that I made her breasts are a little bit bigger than in the comic. In order to keep the rest of YokoΒ΄s proportions they became that way.

IΒ΄m surprised cause I thought the comics were sold in Europe only.

I am a QuΓ©becois, and since we are of the francophonie, we tend to get franco-belgians comics too

Looks like Yori with shorter hair....

There are some similarities. But YokoΒ΄s first appearence was in 1970 long before Yori.

Thank you very much.

Aaaah, i remember those books so fondly. One reason amongst many why i grew up respecting women. SheΒ΄s strong, confident and still remains feminin, because she wants to.
Now... constructive critique. ItΒ΄s a perfect piece, if it were not for that hand. I know, i know, hands are amongst the hardest things. But that one just looks... meeh.

YouΒ΄re right. I repainted her hand.

Yoko Tsuno has always been one of my top 5 favourite comics characters! Even after many years I love to read again a a book or two from time to time. I see your drawing was inpired from the "Fire of Wotan" story. I pretty good one. I love the way Leloup drew Wuppertal and its famous Schwebebahn suspended train... I would not be surprised if one day some of Leloup's stories were made into some movies.

I love that issue.
As my hometown is not far away from Wuppertal I have been there several times and know the places from the comic on my own.

Me too. I Probably was in Wuppertal 5 or 6 times in my life. I used to have some good friends there. I also visited KΓΆln and especially Rothenburg ob der Tauber (twice), bringing along my Yoko Tsuno book with me, of course! The funny thing is I met Japanese girls there who were kind enough to accompany me round the city, following Yoko's footsteps. That was really funny. I also visited Burg Eltz, Sankt Goar, die Lorelei, went to Pleumeur-Bodou in Britany, Bruges (which is quite near), Hong-Kong and even Japan. In fact, now that I think of it, I have been almost everywhere Yoko went to, except Glamis Castle in Scotland and Vinea. Funny, isn't it? ^_^! Now, where is my plane ticket to Scotland? LOL!

And where is the ticket to Vinea.

That would be a great trip!

Ah, Yoko Tsuno! I've read about half of the books if her adventures! I quite like them, and the drawing style of Leloup; but to me he seems strangely unable to draw old men. Girls and women, and younger men look alright, but when he depicts older men it just looks .... fake? Nothing wrong with Yoko herself, though!

For me in general the male charactes are not that good drawn.
I like the technology driven stories and IΒ΄ve got all 25 of them.

She is from a comic book series.
There are 25 issues.
