Well, I've been waiting for a very LOOOONG time to post this.
This is Oshima, assistant to the "Doc" in Bandito's and the White Lotus' current "Bump in the Night" comic series.
You can read more about it here...

Most of you probably don't know,and I don't know if the Bandito has acknowledged it in the comic itself or on the forums or not, but I designed this beautiful cybernetic babe a very long time ago! I'm very happy to say that I did!
Bandito came up with her name inspired by the beautiful Japanese model Hiromi Oshima.,
Back in October 30th, 2008, As the result of winning a contest held on Wild Card Radio (I believe hosted by Dave 2112) Bandito offered the opportunity to the winner to design an "assistant" for the Doc in BITN 2. Of course I was excited to be able to create something along side the Bandito...
After 2 years of emails, some very rough sketches by me (which will be put into scraps for all to see) and delays from other projects from the Bandito, He and The White Lotus finally managed to release the comic! So now I get to release some artwork of my own! It was so hard to keep it a secret...
Unfortunately, I don't know what Oshima looks like other than her appearance on the cover of BITN 2, due to me being broke... 🙁
However I am assuming the Deet did a good job with her...
Bandito's version from what I see on the cover of BITN 2 offers a lot of minor changes to the original design. Since this picture is made from one of her most current earlier concept pics, the picture you see above still retains some elements to the original design that I had for her such as the bow, the cybernetic eye, "utility belt" and the more streamline mechanical arms and legs.
However I like both designs... maybe I'm just biased...LOL
I have also provided the original rough early sketches below.
Descriptions for them are as follows from my DA pages...
Sketch 1:
Whoo boy... This is a very VERY EARLY sketch of Oshima (assistant to the Doc in The Bandito and White Lot latest Bump in the Night Comic) in fact this was the first thing I had to offer the Bandito back in 2008.
This was to get an example of what I was looking for in a cyborg chick at the time and everything was subject to change.... hence why this pic and the next concept pics will be the roughest pics you'll see from me! LOL
Sketch 2:
the second of rough sketches...This was the first vision of what I wanted Oshima's body to look like... Bandito liked it so pretty much this was the first stepping stone to the final design in BITN 2
Sketch 3:
As the months go by, my art skill grew...The same went for rough sketches!Here Oshima is starting to take more shape, getting minor changes from the last pic. I opted to give her a full head of hair, to make her a bit more sexier, sacrificing the harder cyborg look.
It just gets smoother along the way folks!
Sketch 4:
This is just to show what Oshima's feet would have looked like on the current revision at the time, since there wasn't a lot of emphasis on her feet in the sketches.Still in the brain storming phase, I brought up the idea to have Oshima's mechanical legs "meld" together at the command of the Doc. The idea was to show how vulnerable Oshima could been since her legs would have served as a pair of stocks as well!
This idea was not used, but maybe I might implement in some other character in the future...Still a very rare look at some of my early rough sketches... minor changes occurred after this pic...
Sketch 5:
Last but not least, the...LAST...revision to Oshima. This one I was the most proud of...it was the first "real" piece of non-sketch work for Oshima. This is the pic where most of the elements of the current pin-up of her came from.
At the time, this was my first entry into hard shadow inked style, inspired by Pawfeather at the time.
I still love this one even today.
I hope you guys and gals like this pin up of Oshima! Please tell me what you
think!
