Due to various things going on, timing, and multiple other issues, I didn't actually pick up any new commissions at Furnal Equinox this year, though I did get talk to some people about future things that I'll be trying to follow through on.
The one commission I did receive was this one from
maxblackrabbit. At a previous Furnal Equinox, I got a picture of Jenora dressed as Yuri from 'The Dirty Pair' in my 'Superheroes' sketchbook, and sent Max a high-res so it could be coloured digitally. He eventually decided he wanted a better pose, so he ended up scrapping the original inks and redrew it to something he was happier with, and as of this weekend I got the final results, with this one based on the classic gold with red trim design of her outfit from the original anime. (There's a silver with black trim version and a nude version as well, which I may or may not post in the near future.)
As I mentioned on that previous image, the Dirty Pair were characters that a lot of early anime fans grew up with... and I'm pretty sure that the first Anime Music Video I ever saw was a 1990 video done with a VHS editing deck to Tommy Shaw's song 'Girls With Guns'. While the original video rather showed its age (it involved multiple-generation copies on VHS) somebody a few years back did an almost complete shot-for-shot remaster of it, finding cleaner clips for 95% of it: https://youtu.be/HEmV6fkz3Lc

That would be a nice change of pace for them. Mostly people are trying to keep them out of the same star system. (Granted, a lot of those people are ones who actually were breaking the law to start with.)
While fundamentally there was always a bit of a comedy vibe about the characters (though the original light novels weren't anywhere near as slapstick as the anime) I've seen people doing relatively serious takes on the whole setup... the idea being that the WWWA in fact deliberately sends them into situations with a high likelihood of exploding in everybody's faces: they're actually very good at finding out what's really going on, they have a knack for surviving dangerous situations... and a situation that blows up with them involved is easier to explain away and clean up. It's sort of like using a sniper round to shatter a nuclear warhead into pieces too small to create critical mass: yes, you have a horrible mess to clean up afterwards, but it's still better than the nuke going off.
