The tables have been turned!

While infiltrating a supposed GI Joe warehouse, The Baroness discovers some stolen chemical weapons. Half in disbelief the Joe's would use such tactics and weapons, she plans to signal in to report her findings. But before she can, a couple sets of strong hands grab her from behind and quickly overpower her, tying her to a chair tightly and cleave gagging her as well. As she struggles to free herself, she notices a strange lithe figure enter the same way she did, and watches as she is also grabbed by the two uniformed and masked figures. As they bring her closer, she's dressed like a court jester! They pull off her mask to reveal a young blonde with fear in her eyes, as she is also tied to a chair next to her.

Harley, on a mission for The Joker, sneaks into a warehouse thought to contain some uncontrollable laugh inducing chemicals. As she very easily sneaks her way in, she sees on the other side of the warehouse bay that a black uniformed woman is tied to a chair. Sensing that something is not right, she turns to retreat, but a coupe of heavily muscled uniformed soldiers with masks grab her. Musing about her costume, they pull off her hood to see her identity, and then bring her over to where the other lady is, and promptly tie her to another chair and gag her with a strip of cloth. The lady is dressed in a black outfit with a snake insignia.

With both helpless, one of the mercenaries attaches a time bomb to a pillar between the two, and after checking that their knots are secure, both depart. Not knowing each other, but sharing a common goal of escaping with their lives, both struggle against their ropes, but they are tied too tightly to wiggle free or have any chance to reach the others' knots. All they can do is watch each other struggle and listen to the beeps every second of the countdown. Will anyone bother to come to their rescue???

Once again, I apologize for the HUGE setup for this sketch, but I felt it was needed as I have put together two bad girls from very different stories in one picture. This was an idea I had a long time ago, but I held out until I had enough skill to pull it off to my liking, and also I didn't have both settled upon. My requirements for this one was for both to be either cute and/or sexy.

Some items to pay attention to:

Harleen Quinzel aka "Harley Quinn": Harley is one of my favorite "bad girls" because she is a cute and sexy gal that, unfortunately, has had her mind twisted by a diabolical evil. Because of that, I always felt that without The Joker in the picture, she could defeat the almost hypnotic obsession with him and fix her life of crime. In Batman: TAS, there is an episode where she tries to do just that, and by the end of the episode, looks like she has the potential to succeed (although later eps didn't continue this idea). In terms of sketching, the Bruce Timm style is not really one that comes easily to me, but I like it a lot. I really stuck to the basics of her form, and then drew her costume (which is a very easy bodysuit). For her head, I hate the way she looks evil in her mask most of the time, so to give her the DiD treatment, it had to come off, which gave me the opportunity to draw her offbeat hairstyle, and show her expression.

Anastasia DeCobray aka "The Baroness": Anyone who watched GI Joe in the 80's will be with me on this pick. The skintight leather, european accent, and glasses...I wondered as a little kid why I wanted to root for her. Like Harley, she is also a tragic story, having a family member killed and then basing a lot of her life on misguided revenge. I also felt that with other outside influences, she could also turn her life around as well. Her style and sketching was the more difficult of the two by far, mainly due to her Cobra battle outfit. Since her glasses vary greatly depending on what series you are looking at, I decided to forego both the original big round lenses, and the Sigma 6 modern small square lenses, and compromise with small ovals. You will notice that I have her tied more tightly, with the idea that she may be physically stronger than Harley.

The Scene: I did a hack job on this. I did the BG last, so all I wanted to accomplish was a device between them (which had to be suspended), and details that would support that. So I went with some cement pillars and the always cheesy but easy cement block wall with aging built in. Sorry I didn't do something more complex.

I have said enough...what do all of you have to say about this?
