Damsel of the Month (Tribute):

I said this year I had some good prospects lined up, and I do. Truth to be told, some of them are not up to par with the best pics (least not one fitting for this time; Cinematic Scarlet Witch and Wonder Woman barely have any). So this Month will be of those tributes to my personal favorites and the month that really DiD hit it off. So....

Spider-Woman and Empowered

She has GOT to be a no-brainer. Jessica Drew remains to be my top damsel for some time. And while damsels like Rikku and Elsa may cut it close, they are still a little bit in second/third place compared to Ms. Drew. I will eventually do a 'new costume' tribute for Jessica Drew once she gathers enough of it. Right now, let's enjoy her classic.

Empowered is fairly new and she isn't anywhere close to Ms. Drew, but Ms. Powers definiltey is a great testament that the DiD genre can be explored with some story, character development, and still provide fan service. Helps that she is a 'parody' version of Spider-Woman.

Rikku

Rikku is also a no brainer. I adore this gal and I have a plan to commission more of her with her alternate outfits, FFX outfit, AND more of her Thief Dressphere. This spunky little Al Bhed just deserves all the ropes she gets!

Elsa

Nope! Can't let her go! Elsa has climbed ranks just QUITE recently and I already commissioned a few pics of her in Distress. I don't plan on stopping soon but it seems other people have the right idea and so I can pretty much sit back and watch as others create her distress for me!

Notable Others

Spider-Gwen
Rin Tohsaka
Zatanna
Wonder Woman
Harley Quinn
Supergirl
Sailor Venus
Daphne Blake
Nana

Now I'm not saying I don't like the other Damsels; I do, otherwise they would not have been picked. But some of these posts really stick out to me and most likely these are the ones I really spent some time and heart to. Regardless, with the lists running low here and there, I might have to get a bit more creative and with time not in great quantity as before, well, I have to be a bit more "frugal". I really do want to continue this so we shall see where we are going.

And by the way, No Sailor Mars yet?

So Virgo Month next month... Hmmm...

Damsel of the Month:

Spyrale

Name/Alias: Gwen Stacy, Spider-Woman, Spider-Gwen(it's more of a 4th wall name)

Series: Spider-Verse, Spider-Gwen

Kachima, of course

Some Words: Spider-Gwen entered the Marvel continuity when the events of Spider-Verse came to play. Honestly, I think her creator/s were riding on the (arguable, but to me she is a great Gwen)success of Emma Stone's role as Gwen Stacy. Or maybe for the said creators, it was really time to revive a canonically dead character of the 616 Universe! Regardless of what they had in mind, Gwen Stacy of Earth-65 became another Spider-Woman, and boy did she hit the fandom so crazy that it made everyone tingle... and guess what that DiD for the DiD community? So without further adieu, let's go ahead and see how this lovely lady does in her month, shall we? And before I do that, this lovely gal definitely deserved to be on here for a while now; just managed to gather some good pics recently(and commissioned "two").

We can talk about how Gwen had always been a popular character and has held the hearts of many despite her being dead for some time now. We can also debate that Emma Stone might have something to do with her popularity. There might also be a chance that she has an awesome personality when she is written correctly; truth to be told, I think part of Spider-Gwen's charm is definitely her costume. There is something to be said about a very awesome use of black and white color, then mixed with some pop up colors like the magenta and the teal. The vibrant colors are done just right so it stands to juxtapose the more 'basic' colors. The real shoes brings out the definition of the teal web linings in her arms and inside her hood(which stands well with the magenta backdrop). The hood and the mask is an added combo that stuck out well with so many. Of course I see her drawn with her mask off a lot with her hood down; in bondage, she is drawn with that look quite often as you will see.

Also, she always seems to have that classic headband that Gwen has been known to wear since her none Spider-Gwen days way back when.

As for her powers, she seems to share the same ones as the many Peter Parkers who became Spider-Man(seems she also shares the same enemies; she's just waaayyyy sexier in bondage). I'm not sure if she has organic webbing or not; I'm not really clear and none of my research has produced anything(haven't tried that hard, nor have I read any Spider-Gwen comic solos). She also shares some of Peter's grief--with the Peter Parker of her world turning into the Lizard to prove that he is also special (since she was the one bitten by the spider and not him); of course she ultimately had to put him down and well... that's your great power comes great responsibility moment.

Revpeng

She shares Parker's bad luck too, but she seems to attract more fascinating scenarios. Well, speaking of fascinating, Gwen shares her duress with some of the other Spider-Women in the multiverse.

Of Course Loz provided this; also lent his work for one of my Prologues.

Night-Glare

Revpeng yet again! 

And she also shares the same situation with our famous Jessica Drew along with Ms. Cindy Moon/Silk!

Official Art by the way! 

Interested to see how that crossover goes. Probably another misleading picture. Regardless, Gwen seems to share a climbing popularity with another femme fatale of the Comic book world:

SanePerson

That would be a great Amalgam crossover! With that same scene! And on another note, if she's not sharing bondage, she's being tied up BY Silk!

Speaking of which, I just have to do a major shout out to Revpeng (Spiderverse folder) who has been the main provider for MUCH of the Spider-Gwen DID pics in here. It's tough work for rendering... it's tough work for art PERIOD! Thank you! Please visit his(and all the artists' galleries for that matter) page!

And of course a great shout out to Kachima, as always for doing such a great job on the commission! Here is the Unmasked version:

She won DiD Poll III; Please vote on DiD Poll IV

So there we have it! For the new comer, Gwen Stacy, being one of the #Spider_Women is hard work! She isn't the only one getting the distress, but believe me, she sure got tangled faster than most of them! She might even catch up to Ms. Drew's rope burns (check out my Spider-Women group page!)

Campbell; J-Skipper collaboration

I'm pretty sure she hasn't seen the last of her distress. She has MORE to come in all sorts of ways! I might provide a few more means to be honest! Regardless of the fact, Gwen completed yet another 'has to be this year' Damsel of the Month! So... it's gonna be May! Who is going to earn that crown, eh?

----Edit----

Loz, of course! 

Unmasked

Too adorable! As always LoZ kills it with these pics!

Damsel of the Month:

Name: Zatanna Zatara

Series: DC, Justice League Dark, Young Justice, Justice League

LoZ

Some Words: February is the month of love! Love is magic! Put some duct tape on that and shut it up and we have ourselves the Sorceress Supreme to take the slot of 2016's first Damsel of the Month! So I'm going to be completely honest with this magical vixen: I know absolutely nothing about her other than she had an appearance in the Batman Animated Series and her magic was mostly staged, then the fact that she is a part of the Justice League and she usually helps out with magical incidents or what not, then of course we have the ever so enticing weakness of being unable to use her magic if she is gagged. Being gagged means that one has to tie her up so that she won't be able to rip the gag off!

To be honest with you, I'm not even joking about that weakness thing. It is actually how she is nullified most of the time I see her. Here are some off her official comic book scenes where she had to be bound and gagged so that she won't be a pesky magician in fishnets!

 

That's just her "recent" ones. That's not including her classic look, which I don't have much of.

Now in terms of aesthetics, her costume is rather sexy. That 'tuxedo'/magician look, paired up with her fishnets and boots is fetchingly sexy. Zatanna comes with her own sexuality as well, being rather provocative and using her womanly guise intentionally (I think).

Definitely one of the best Zatanna fan arts out there by Reiq

I'm not 100% sure what she is ethnicity wise. I am not entirely too keen on looking at Wiki right now, but she has blue eyes and black hair. And she has a sexy bod. really good on the ropes too.

She also wears a cape. Obviously the comic above shows it. It also shows that some villains forget her weakness: a gag. As this picture below shows as well that a gag is a must on Zatanna:

As for her history, I don't know much about her. Aside from being magical and all that, yeah. I'm not very much a source of information. I can only say that a gal who loses most of her usefulness through a good bondage is a great enough source. Oh, and she says things backwards to use her magic.... try saying magic spells gagged, Zatanna! Oh, she can also disappear real well when being kidnapped! And sometimes, ropes and duct tapes and cloth aren't her only source of bondage!

LoZ

Anyways, that's enough of me spamming with words! Let's just spam this month with more images of this gal in her DiD'ing career! 

Speaking of Career...

I need a link please!

Well. that is the end of that magic! Zatanna had been on my sights for a while; it's only now I managed to get her going in her own Damsel slot! So that's one person of my prospect! I wonder who can take the cake on March?
