Description The long-awaited sequel to [link] Was going to be more of a direct sequel, but I went and didn't save the background I spent hours making for the first one and then didn't feel like painting it again, so the series (yes, there's more) will continue background-less from here on out. And really, with a foreground like this, who the hell's going to notice a background anyway? ^-^

Got to play with my cable fetish a bit here (squee!), although as usual these two were a bitch to pose. Also, I had soooo much trouble making this look...mutually consensual. I'm still not entirely sure I succeeded in the end; I was going for kind of a "...wait, what?" expression for Kayabuki (because I do try to keep this in character, even if it is total crack), but then I was left not being able to give the Major any kind of reassuring or comforting expression because...again, the keeping everyone in character thing, so I just tried to get it to a place where nobody looked too uncomfortable. A tall order when drawing Kayabuki, even outside the context of brainsexing.

Characters belong to Masamune Shirow and Production I.G. I'll MC this if anyone complains about it.

Another great piece.

Motoko does have a softer side, she just doesn't show it very often and usually not for very long. I could totally see her doing something like this if she'd ever gotten even a hint that Kayabuki was into her. It's heavily implied in 1st Gig that her two friends that she hangs out with a couple of times are a bit more than just good friends in the episode where she's catching up on the Laughing Man case.

Haha, this is totally my guilty pleasure pairing :3 They drop hints for it allll over the place in 2nd GIG - I'm just the only one who seems to be able to see them.

I wish we'd gotten to see more of the girlfriends, though; that relationship seems like it would be completely adorable.

Oh, I've seen the hints, trying to get The Major alone, always asking for her for security details. It would have been interesting to see where that could've gone, I suspect it might have looked something a bit like these pictures you've done.

That's Prime Minister Kayabuki from 2nd GIG, pretty much the most adorably badass Prime Minister in anything ever. She also totally has the hots for the Major (although who can blame her for that?)

Well, technically *every* human in the Ghost in the Shell universe is a cyborg to some extent, with the cyberbrains and whatnot - cyberbrains have just become so commonplace that only the people who have actual cybernetically modified bodies are referred to as 'cyborgs'.

Yuri makes the world go 'round :3

Hmmm Hako, I just noticed something.

When you click the link provided in the Artist's Comments you will end up with an "File Not Found" page. I can see that you added a Period behind the HTTP address which is being included in the link. Gotta take that period behind it away to have the link working right.

Whats MC?

Oh fuck it, I think this one is great. And it does look mutual to me though, I mean Kayabuki is holding her hair up so Motoko has clear access. She wouldn't be doing that if it wasn't mutual. If anything, Kayabuki looks like she is slightly nervous though, like she's doing the brain-sex thing for the first time. (Lol virgin)

Ah... well you could put that on just in case anyways. Saves people who love to cause trouble from bitching at you. But honestly though, Kids have to learn some day.And I'm a firm believer of "learn while young and practice when older."

Keep up the good work ^_^
