An Unusual Pair of Pantsu

This was a request from someone I know, but there's a long story behind it. Her request was to draw a Strike Witches TF Artwork involving Erica Hartmann somehow getting turned into a pair of pantsu, and Francesca is using her. She said she saw my stuff and wanted to see this badly from me, thinking it would be great.

Well, now, poor little Erica has been changed into Francesca's pantsu, and Francesca is just about to get dressed. Don't ask how she ended up like that. Come to think of it, this could be a little unexpected payback for Erica stealing Francesca's pantsu that one time. She once stole her pantsu, and now ironically, she Is her pantsu. I certainly would not wanna be in Erica's position right now, and Erica certainly isn't liking it either. Just wait till Francesca puts her on, then things will really be uncomfortable for her. Drew by hand and then used Fireworks effects as usual.


I had multiple problems with this request, and even now I still kinda dislike making this one. I first wanted to reject this request for multiple reasons. First of all, Strike Witches has too serious and war-like of an atmosphere, and Silly Transformations like this do not fit well into it, even in fan art. It would be like adding Pie-Throwing Fights into Gundam or Sky Crawlers or something like that, it just ain't right. Second, I though this would be a bit too lewd, and I really dislike lewdness. Although she later said Francesca didn't have to be wearing Erica, she could be holding her or something. That made things a bit better, but I still didn't wanna accept this request at the time.

However, after I rejected it, she decided to up the offer. She said she would pay me $10 if I were to do this request. I never had anyone offer to pay me for a request, and make it an commission before. Now I didn't wanna reject the offer, and then I got to work on this. Took me a while, but now here's the finished product. In the end, this turned out not so lewd after all. In fact, the way Francesca's holding Erica and the fact that only her upper body is visible makes it much better. Their facial expressions look great too, especially Francesca's cute :3 face.
I made sure she paid me before submitting this, and she told me I did a great job. I got my payment, and she got her request. I'm glad neither of us was double crossed in this deal. Maybe when I get more skilled, I should do more commissions and not just requests. I still kinda dislike this artwork, but oh well.
