DIRTY PAIR's KEI and YURI, younger, from 2000by *AdamWarren

Fan Art / Manga & Anime / Traditional / Other

Generally, there's not much point in posting pieces on dA over the weekend, thanks to the lessened traffic... but, ehh, what the heck. I'm a g-d freelancer, which means I haven't had a weekend off* since the day I left the Kubert School; Saturday is just another workday to me, albeit a workday where my editor can't reach me. So, in honor of all my freelancer brothers and sisters who work ON the weekend instead of FOR the weekend (à la Loverboy), I might as well post a sketch! (Unfortunately, this one's scanned from a photocopy and not from the original art, so I apologize for the lessened image quality.)

This one's a random, 2000-era sketch of (my version of) Dirty Pair's Yuri and Kei in their younger (mid-teenage) years, circa AD 2137 or so. Yuri's wearing a top with video-displaying fabric, while Kei's sporting temporary-tattoo-ish imagery rendered by William-Gibson-esque "melanin stenciling"; in my take on the DP's universe, genetic upgrades like Kei and Yuri can vary their skin's pigmentation levels at will.

Can't quite recall for certain, but I think that Kei's top is loosely based on some odd fashion trend from the turn of our century, possibly from one of Li'l Kim's many wacky outfits. Note that grown-up/ grown-out adult Kei would presumably find this top's integral pockets to be of rather less utility, storage-wise. (Ahem.)

Anyhoo, for further Dirty Pair sketchwork, check my gallery here: [link]

I love the ideas behind their outfits. I'd totally wear Yuri's top if I could!

Yuri's facial expression is so DEVIOUS here!

Awesome stuff! I think the very first piece of art I ever saw of yours was a rendition of the Dirty Pair. Been fan ever since!

Huh, a pocket top. Sexy and practical.

Very cool Adam. You always surprise me with these one-off sketches. They always remind me to re-visit your old comics in my 'wall-of-awesome', and that always brightens my day. Cheers mate - an try to give yourself a day off once in a while... chase down some squirrels or something ^_^

Thank you sir. I'm a double loser. With my "real job" I work weekends. As a freelancer, I too have no days off. Upside? It takes Mitt Romney a whole 17 hrs to make what I make in a year. It is to laugh!

I noticed a pretty cool grid like pattern over the piece and was curious if it was the grain of the paper or what, then I read the description. I'm thinking the photocopier did it ? Either way it's like it gave all your shading a screentone effect, kinda neat.
