Mature readers - high risk of nudity, sexual themes, and/or violence

Have I gone too far this time?

[NOTE: This is an edited and reformatted version of a journal entry that was published on my DeviantArt site on July 5, 2016. The original can be read here, although the picture links are broken.]

Well, it's happened again: another character has sprung out from my diseased imagination. As if I didn't already have too many projects to do - aah, you've heard all that before.

It started with this drawing - just a quick little sketch that I drew up on a piece of memo paper a couple of weeks ago, just to indulge my desire for drawing a woman with a slender build who could still flex an anomalously large bicep. (Not that different from what I've done for Sonya and even Tetsuko herself.)

The big breasts were actually an afterthought.

Then I did a second drawing...

...the biceps and the breasts got larger.

And then with the third drawing, the idea came into my head that her name is Charlotte. (Why "Charlotte"? Beats me; your guess is as good as mine.)

And then things got weird...

Inspired by the photo you see in the corner, I drew a pic of "Charlotte in chains"...

and that in turn inspired me to do another "Charlotte in peril" pic - resulting in this drawing of Charlotte in the classic "pendulum" death trap.

Suddenly the ideas came cascading in: she'd be a crime-fighter/crusader against evil type superheroine; amazingly strong but not quite superhumanly so; invulnerable to almost everything except blades, extreme heat, and high-voltage electricity. (So that bullets can bounce off her breasts, yet she can still be endangered by the pendulum trap.) She would not wear a costume - or anything else. The title of her series would be Naked Justice (although she wouldn't call herself that); and just as Batman is sometimes nicknamed "The Caped Crusader", Charlotte's nickname is "The Voluptuous Avenger". I even have a villain for her to face - "that sinister supervillain who's so obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe that he named himself after Poe's most famous poem - The Raven!" And once again, as with Sonya (in her early appearances), I've given Charlotte curly hair that's a time-suck to draw. (I even changed Sonya's hairstyle to something a little less time-consuming to draw... and then I give Charlotte the curly hair again! *sigh* When will I ever learn?)

So have I gone too far this time? With a superheroine with ridiculously huge breasts who does all her crimefighting in the nude? You tell me.
