I drew this to procrastinate working on Repercussions of Evil.

"Fight! Iczer One!" was one of the first anime's I ever watched, which at a young age, helped launch my interest in giant robots with their Iczer Robo. The OVA itself was pretty cheesy, but sometimes cheese can have a good aftertaste that lasts with you...and with this little gem from the 80's, how could it not? In hindsight, it was actually pretty hardcore...space lesbians, tentacle parasitic aliens ripping people apart, massively detailed Star Destroyer scale battleships getting blown apart by giant robots, lightsabers...it had a lot of pretty cool shit in it, and it was all well animated, and set to this genuinely groovy score.

Coming back to the space lesbians, there's practically no guys in this show. And while the antagonists are blatantly girl-alien on girl-alien, Iczer One's attraction to Nagisa was a little more subtle......if alien "subtlety" is dressing your human companion in a cocktail dress to fight aliens, or my favorite, stripping her down completely naked to pilot Iczer Robo. :P

Seeing as how Iczer One could fly, I had lots of creative license with the pose. Originally, I was just drawing Iczer One's face and hair, but to make it more interesting, I decided to add Nagisa in tow. Then I started having fun with the poses, decided she'd look better naked, and one tasteful titty later, I had refined the pose to what you see.

The most difficult part to draw for me was the feet, because I don't draw feet a whole lot. But like anything, I just need to practice at it, so even if the feet aren't perfect, I deem this a good exercise. The most fun thing to draw, oddly enough, was Iczer One's awesome 80's hair. After getting her bangs and...curly-cues (?) done, I didn't fret about being devoted to the original design, and just had fun doing whatever.

Fun Fact: The lightsaber is divvied into three layers; the middle layer being the shape made with a pen tool drawn solid color, then after having the shape selected (like a lasso tool, but "Ctrl+click" the layer to get the same effect), white details on the layer above, and free-handed brush shading beneath it all to imply power. The entire blade was originally solid black when it was without color, which is why the rays of light around the hilt are still black.

I think it came out looking pretty good! Tell me what you think by leaving a review and voting. I hope I'm not the only one on Newgrounds who's even heard of "Iczer-One." Thanks in advance!
