That's a pretty good Soozie you got there!!
She's pretty hot and toned!

Also, I'd like to request one more thing before you disappear
Can you draw the Amazon zakos from the Taito arcade game Light Bringer/Dungeon Magic?
They're my fav arcade zakos, and I prefer the rarer white-armored variant:

Also if you can, draw them in their sexy defeated pose, maybe with blood flowing from their mouth/forehead as a little detail:

In case you don't know about the game:

We'll see man. No promises, I might do it or I might do something else. Or maybe the Soozie art will be my last art before I reappear again much later (maybe sometime in May).

Or just "Sekkaku Cheat"

Any of you here who is well versed with zakos should know about Space Cobra, the anime/manga from the 1980s. Not every show has a charmingly sadistic Jean-Paul Belmondo lookalike basically committing underwater zako genocide. Yeah, that's right I'm talking about the ever famous Space Cobra seamen (women?). They're a bunch of female zakos genetically altered to breath underwater through their hair. Manga panel for reference (1st image) plus my art (2nd image):

I know that the pink spandex look is more iconic. But, I really have a soft spot for the manga version of the seamen. Their costumes also seem lot more practical in the manga version. The green colour at least offers a bit of underwater camouflage, unlike the conspicuous pink uniforms. Alright now talking about technical art stuff. This is undoubtedly the most impressive thing I've ever done artistically bar none. I finally made use of the multiply feature to ensure that the character blends well with the background. I also wanted to play and experiment a bit with the framing of this piece. I just got fed up with seeing rectangles and invisible backgrounds. Anyways, hope you like the art!

Edit: Minor changes to art

Well done. Solid poses.
Impressive use of blends. Good point on bgs. I sometimes do them for zako art.
Never heard of Space Cobra. Interesting.

Just so we're clear here, the first image is from the manga itself.
The second image is the fanart.

Yep, edited my comment. Figured I'd give a like & post.

Love your artwork.

Yeap these are from early forum (ryonani) days, right?

Outside of these scanned images, this coloured chapter of the manga is actually available online.

Though I would argue that in some cases the scans are superior in quality:

There are no guro images in this work so don't worry.

Your work is truly amazing :D

Anyone remember Koromi Sakura's awesome Shocker-like zako monster girls?

Someone commissioned this artist to draw pics of these zakos.

I commissioned Shayeragal on Deviant Art to draw four more Target Terror zakos: Niki Pink, Niki Dominatrix, Britt Black and Amy Black. Not sure why ND's hair is blonde when it's dark.

I've commissioned Jardel Cruz from Deviant Art to multiple scenes of unused Target:Terror zako Audrey.

Josefina's the strongest, and is from Mexico. What a woman.
