This is my submission to the Ninth Annual Valentine’s Day Sex Drive (VDSD), started by Stef over at sarahzero.com. The idea is that, once a year, you draw your comic characters nude. For some people that’s an Event; for me it’s Business As Usual. Nonetheless, I thought you guys would dig a nice Silk pinup. This is, of course, young Silk as she appears in Silk & Honey.
Below is a list of all the other comics taking part in this year’s VDSD. If last year is any indication, there will be participants who won’t actually draw their characters nude. Personally, I feel that’s cheating. If you’re gonna get a free link for drawing your character nekkid, then you’d better draw your character nekkid!
I will check this list on the day this goes live and make notes accordingly. If you guys notice anyone in the list below cheating, let me know!
UPDATE: Comics which did not post nudes (according to the VDSD rules) have had their links removed. If I removed your link because I’m too stupid to find your VDSD art, please let me know! I’ll add it back happily. For those of you who cheated today to get a free link from me: shame on you. I’ve left your listing but removed your link. Consider yourself added to the VDSD HALL OF SHAAAAAAME.
With that said, there are some awesome people and some awesome comics linked below, and I hope you enjoy checking them out.
On another note: Today is the LAST DAY for the Limited Edition Locus TPB! As of this writing (which was 2 days ago), there are still 28 copies left. If I sell all 50, I will be giving away my favorite sketch of Locus. Click that link for more information.
And: if I sell all of them today, whomever orders the 50th copy will get this picture of Silk FREE. Both the original black & white art and a full-color print (both 8.5″x11″) will be included in the envelope of whomever orders copy #50. Tell your friends! Your enemies! Your Mom, even!
At the very least: stop by on Wednesday! Silk is still missing in the comic, and next week’s page will show where she went. Don’t miss it!
