OMG dude, you have no idea how awesome this is! This has got to be one of your best pics ever. I really like how you experimented with the different color/pattern cloths for her gags on this one. All the OTN gag versions are an especially epic-win for me.
I was obsessed with the
Double Dragon games in my younger days and Marian was by far my biggest crush as far as videogame characters go. She was the hottest chick I'd ever seen in a NES game in those days, and it was just awesome how she got kidnapped right off the street in
DD and was found tied hanging up against the wall in the Black Warriors' lair right at the end of the game. If you ever draw her again, that would be a cool scene to recreate, where she's suspended like that. Maybe have Billy and Jimmy fighting Willy the end-boss and Marian silently looking-on in terror as he fires his machine gun at them.
BTW, this is a bit off-topic, but if anyone would like some killer mood music while you look at these pics, try these excellent
DD remixes:

DD title theme done by House the Grate. He's fantastic on an electric guitar and he really takes this classic rocking tune to a whole new level.)

DD tune, the theme from when you fight the green-haired freak Shadow Boss at the end of the NES
DDII. Once again, a rockin' guitar cover by Joey Ellis.)
Listen and enjoy!
