COMMISSIONED ILLUSTRATION, "SUMO WRESTLERS"

Added 2020-03-23 14:08:20 +0000 UTC

For the first time, I used "Skeb" service (https://skeb.jp/@ichikawado). It's a service to arrange...hmm...a sort of "commissioned work". Not exactly a commissioned work in general. Much simplified version of it.

In Skeb service, a client makes a request but it has 177 (I think something like that amount) words limitation. Then the artist accepts the request makes an art. It has to be the finalized one. No need to submit rough sketches or such beforehand. It's to avoid complication in a commissioned work process (As I've been working as a professional full-time manga-ka/illustrator, I do know that it often becomes helplessly chaotic).

Anyway, this time, I got a request about two sumo wrestlers mingling on a sumo ring, well, the older one sexually harassing the younger one. As it was my first time to draw sumo wrestlers, I learned a lot about it. About their hair styles, about their "mawashi" underwear, about sumo ring. The hair style, "Ooichou", of the older guy is showing that he is a higher ranking sumo wrestler (usually very well-known). Indeed it was a fun experience!! Though the request was NSFW illustration, I made a naughtier version of it for here. Bon appétit
