Much as it rocks to see new art from you, I'm sorry you had to have that sort of inspiration.

Looks like someone's already given her need to use it. *backs away from the blast zone*

Uh, It was the two guys that commented before me!*backs away and grabs a riot shield from the policemen.*

Haha. That'll teach what guys...or herms if it comes down to it to learn to back off when told. I just love the expression on her face. And as always the coloring is done good. Especially on the pants.

What the hell is Mace?

Imagine angry rabid badgers covered in jalapeno sauce trying to claw its way down into your eyes, nose, throat, and pores. That's mace.

They don't call it mace anymore, do they? I would've used the more obvious "pepper spray" but the can wasn't big enough to fit all that text.

And I'm told that mace hurts more.

You talk about CS Gas, right? I sprayed it in my eyes accidently as a kid. In germany its only allowed to be used against animals, but I had it with me in school just in case. Never had to use it tho.

Its buring like hell in your face, it works at least 30min, sometimes even 1 hour. Who ever gets it in the face, well, poor him/her.

According to google, it is not actually pepper spray but tear gas! I don't know if that is the same as CS gas.

Tear Gas = CS Gas (the 'official' name for Tear Gas). Tear Gas is generally much nastier than pepper-spray. Pepper spray is basicly weapons-grade tabassco.

Well, so-called edible grade tobasco can be pretty vicious on it's own!

Mace is just one brand name, as I understand it. But the term's becoming generic, at least as I hear it.

They still call it mace, although the pepper-based sprays are more popular now.

Mace is a spice, the ground shell of the Nutmeg.

Most spices are irritants if they come into contact with the eyes or mucous membranes, pepper sprays are considered 'better' because the active irritant, capesin, is an oil, and therefore hard to remove once it hits the target. You can scrub your skin with soap to remove the oils, but rubbing soap into your eyes is just more pain on top of the burning.

Talk about a wetware failure, I should have scrolled down further before commenting.

So, I hear mace is actually a spice... :P

Actually, mace is a spice.

Strange as it seems, it's true, you can cook with it, although I'd recommend powdered mace from the spice isle at the store than the spray (the extra ingredients to make in an aerosol may ruin the food)

Mace is closely related to nutmeg (yes, the stuff you put on eggnog), in fact, it's the SHELL of the nutmeg, ground up so fine it feels like talc. be careful when sniffing the spice jar, do not stick your schnoz over it and inhale deeply with the lungs unless you want your friend crashing his car because he can't stop laughing as he's driving you to the hospital. (Trust me on this one.)

The mace spray is likely a combination of mace (which stings like the Inferno) and capesin, the essential oil that causes the burning sensation in peppers. In other words, get hit by it and you'll see a whole new spectrum of pain, like a rainbow, but this rainbow isn't pretty, its-

(that's where the 'rainbow of pain' spiel runs out, wish there were more, but that's all there was in that barbarian show on Adult Swim.)

Of course, you could be like me and have a built up imminity to it. :3

Then again I try to prevent myself from getting that...stalk'ish. :b

giggity!

Mace failing, I'd have to get some of my boyfriends to beat up a stalker with their oversized penises :P

I was going to suggest a pocket sized kill-a-ma-jig.

Or maybe a SureDeath-MegaKill blaster set to 'stun' if you just want to discourage them.

Do they make those in cleavage-concealable sizes?

Cleavage that size could hide a hefty tazer gun... one powerful enough to burn the hair off an assailant's ass.

Hehehe, Darren has a point. You could hide a SMG or a few grenades in your clevage. ^.^

Sold! My new bazooka should arrive in 3-5 working days. I hope this doesn't mean I need to draw a new picture...

Mace never fails. If one kind doesn't work, switch to another.

hey.... I fit in that catagory j/k
:P
Awesome pic Portia like always
and I carry that stuff everyday at work,
:)

Powerful Pepper Spray! :)

I've got a fair idea what m,ay have triggered the reaction. Some folks don't know how to be polite, do they?

Some folks don't indeed. Other folks don't know how to be rejected. Both can be scary.

Portia caries a slender tube of mace wherever she goes. She's also really into anal. But she knows the two must never mix.

Ok... gross.

It is pretty gross, but I was trying to make you laugh, not creep you out.

You have stalkers Portia? 0.=.o just cause over your art!? Wows

I think it's more to do with the odd person who thinks because that I have big boobs that I must be in love with them. I don't know how that can happen, but it does.

You have big breasts real life, thats great, but that doesnt give others the right to stalk ya, sorry you are having such a hard time hun.

lol, i've only seen one woman in the last year where I work that actually has big boobs and looks good with them. Unfortunatly, I'm the only guy at work that is single and I saw her on valentines day wearing this pink looking night gown type of shirt that showed alot.

MAH, I hate being single

I'm betting that person's name starts with an 'S'. I'm only barely nice enough not to blurt it out.

I'd bet it was me, except when I figured out my ginormous cock was not automatically winning your heart, I made a habit of leaving you the Hell alone.

But you were a major factor in helping me get settled into Taps, so thanks for that.

Actaully, the straw that broke the camel's back started with an "A" but I'm not going to name names either, both for blame and for credit in inspiring me :) It is dedicated more to a certain type of person then that individual anyway.

Mace...delicous...especially if you get it right in the NOSE!

I really like this one. The body posture and expression are just great -- she looks somewhere in between sheepish at having to resort to this and tweaked off almost to the breaking point. Like what will follow will be either a shameful little shrug or a snarl of pure rage. And, er, she's hot as ever, heh.

Very nice.

Aww... well I like the new arts but it's a shame people are harrassing you. *huggles* X3

woot, glad to see you back portia :3 ... even under such sad conditions as people being annoying stalker types /:

o.0 ummmm I not a stalker. pwease don't spray me :(

I like the new art, but am sorry to hear that folks are pestering you in a bad way.

Thanks everyone. Please don't mistake this as me having a huge stalker problem.

The next picture I post won't be topical, I promise. Just good ol' dirty sex!

I'm going to have to commission you one day. I need to be smothered in them softies

Wooo... Tho I'm not surprised. Us heavily endowed individuals always have such problems.

I'll be careful about sneaking up on you now. I got maced before, compleatly at random and doing nothing wrong. It's the most unplesent experence in my life.

*pounces the beautiful Vixen, not scared of the mace* BEAUTIFUL!!! love yer work portia. ^_~

BOOBS!!!!!!

Just use muster gas, forget mace or tear gas.

I just found this and had to comment. I use mace myself too for those guys, gals, and herms that get too close. I know how you feel on a personal, they think you love them after you let them get free feel

Nice work ^^ I was just thinking today I haven't seen anything from you in a while :3

You're not talking about moi, ARE you? I only send you fan arts twice a year or so. ;_;

Good to see you around again, Portia... though I'm not so happy to see your little friend....

Nice job on this piece, looks great. :)

Yay! I can't wait until I get insane stalkers.

Glad to see you posting again. Sad to now that you need mace...

I'm a fairly intimidating size, despite being a teddybear. Strange people usually avoid me. :)

Ask some of my closer friends, and they'll tell you that I'm *very* protective and I would make a good bodyguard/protector/bouncer.

Very nice arts too, by the way, good to see you back. Been a while since I've talked to your friend, the good Doctor Erica on Taps, you should have her say hi sometime. :)

I hope you don't think of me as a stalker cause I'm a nice guy and I love your work and you.

No, of course not! Fans are good :) I like them. They get much nicer things then mace!

heh, great new pic Portia, nice to see you putting up new stuff :)

I have a fairly good guess now who it might be, but that's another story. It's nice to see your character in a some what causal setting though nonetheless. :3 (Beside, if you live in NY, walking with Mace would be a normal thing XD)

lol, a fellow New Yorker! Aye, a mace or a citizen grade Tazer makes for great defense.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/61519143/ dunno about mace, but these work good too ;D

If I ever find my stalked by an entire clan of ninjas, I will definitely keep this in mind!

Lol go ninja go. yesh. fun tools they are! anytime its stocking day, people loot my armament for box cutters. oh the fun, cusomters always boggle a bit.

Very nice picture, it's a shame that you have to have it... Understandable with a vixen like you though. :)

Ahh, so true. This is why I like you. Wit :)

Creepy stalker inspiration aside, it's great to see more Portia-art.

Heh. Some people just ain't cool.

Nice illo.

Well if that one don't work you could always use the other kind of mace (those big metal weapons with spikes).
