Gel Girl Pamela Rei Exercises I

Gel Girl Pamela Rei poses naked in Dr. Ernst Verwandlung's laboratory.

Time for a brief series of concept art about a new character, Pamela Rei, who will feature in a new story I’m working on. Pamela is a gel girl, that is a once normal human woman who has been (voluntarily!) transformed into a kind of living gel transparent gel by the somewhat mad scientist Dr. Ernst Verwandlung. Here she poses in a futuristic version of his lab. Isn’t she fetching?

PAGE 83 (Single panel page)

Single panel: A representation of Leos sacrificing his three daughters Praxithea, Theope, and Eubule. There are a number of art-historical views of what human sacrifices might have looked like in Archaic Greece and mostly this will be left to the discretion of the artist, with the recommendation that he image search some of the more famous Greek maiden sacrifices, such as those of Iphigenia or Polyxena, and extrapolate from there. Perhaps Praxithea can be lying already sacrificed at her father’s feet, Theope can be under the knife, and Eubule can be patiently waiting her turn. The four captions can be at the corners of the illustration, or otherwise arranged as seems reasonable.

CAPTION – UU Minister speaking (1): In Greek legend, Leos, the son of Orpheus, had three daughters: Praxithea, Theope, and Eubule. In response to a prophecy from the Oracle at Delphi, these three daughters volunteered themselves for sacrifice to save Athens from famine and plague.

Translation (1): Na mitologia grega, Leos, filho de Orfeu, tinha três filhas: Praxítea, Téope e Eúbole Em resposta à profecia do Oráculo de Delfos, suas três filhas foram voluntárias ao sacrifício para salvar Atenas da fome e das pragas.

CAPTION – UU Minister speaking (2): Were their sacrifices regarded as tragedy, stupidity, or waste? Far from it. Demosthenes himself, in his funeral oration, compared them to the bravest of soldiers who fell defending their city.

Translation (2): Teria sido tal sacrifício considerado uma tragédia, uma estupidez ou um desperdício? De forma alguma. O próprio Demóstenes, em sua oração no funeral, comparou aquelas mulheres aos seus soldados mais destemidos, que pereceram defendendo sua cidade.

CAPTION – UU Minister quoting Demosthenes (3): ὅτε δὴ γυναῖκες ἐκεῖναι τοιαύτην ἔσχον ἀνδρείαν, οὐ θεμιτὸν αὑτοῖς ὑπελάμβανον χείροσιν ἀνδράσιν οὖσιν ἐκείνων φανῆναι.

Comment (3): Do not attempt to translate this passage in Greek. It’s translated into English at (4) below, and you can translate it from there into your target language.

CAPTION – UU – Minister translating (4): “When, therefore, such courage was displayed by those women, they looked upon it as a heinous thing if they, being men, should have proved to possess less of manhood.”

Translation (4): “Portanto, quando tanta coragem foi demonstrada por aquelas mulheres, todos consideraram seu feito uma coisa hedionda como se eles, por serem homens, tivessem a própria masculinidade diminuída”.

Destiny’s Dangerous Method

Just keep saying to yourself, “It’s only a movie, it’s only a movie…”


Actress Destiny Summone is filming a cruccifixion scene, but it's only a movie, right?

Some nights dark dreams come to me, and some days I want to realize them as art. This particular one was realized for me by Studio Pirrate, who has shown great skill before in realizing dark dreams. The caption reads:


Destiny Summone is playing the title role in The Martyrdom of Julia. It is the role of a lifetime, the role that will make her immortal. But like any great role, it cannot be played without sacrifice. For Destiny is a method actor, and she is determined to make as much use of her method as she can…

PAGE 82 (Three panels, probably the first two across the top)

Panel 1: Closer-in view of the UU Minister, showing part of her at the lectern.

UU Minister (1): But as has been shown by scientific research – including especially that research made possible by the women we commemorate today – we can afford such a retreat into ignorance no longer.

Translation (1): Contudo, conforme comprovado pela pesquisa científica – incluindo particularmente a pesquisa que só foi possível pela participação dessas mulheres que homenageamos aqui hoje – não podemos mais arcar com tamanho retrocesso à ignorância.

Panel 2: Symbolic panel, a human hand reaching out from one side of the panel, tentacle from the other side.

CAPTION – UU Minister speaking (2): The oceanic depths contain things far beyond any of our previous understandings.

Translation (2): As profundezas do oceano têm segredos que vão muito além da nossa compreensão até então.

CAPTION – UU Minister speaking (3): The future wellbeing of humanity – perhaps the very future existence of humanity – depends on the advancement of our knowledge.

Translation (3): O futuro bem-estar da humanidade – talvez até mesmo a própria existência da humanidade no futuro – depende do avanço dos nossos conhecimentos.

“I cursed myself for getting myself into such a dilemma…”

“Mary Lou Smith is my name and, being temporarilty out of work, I turned to the want ads. The ad in the paper looked innocent enough: ‘Wanted, a young girl to assist in scientific experimennts.'”

Thus opens a story called “Captives of the Scientists,” apparently originally published in 1954 by American fetish-meister Irving Klaw (1910-1966) and illustrated by an obscure artist known only as “Mario.” It has a very classic fetish look, and also, another early example of tube girls.

Mary Lou is in for one hell of a time. Our two lady mad scientists deal with one of her companions first.

The scientists weren’t satisfied with the results of the oxygen tests they tried out on Jane, so they created a large vacuum tube for another, more exhaustive test. The secured electrodes to Jane’s wrists, which extended through specially made slots in the sides, wired to recording instruments. Jane was placed in the center of the tube and made to stand on the very tips of her thigh-length, laced boots, while an effective oxygen mast was clamped over her nostrils and mouth, to provide air to keep her from suffocating.

I could only star in wonder, at the rapt attention the two scientists paid to their scientific readings, and I grudgingly paid them a silent compliment a their ingenuity in contriving all those complicated gadgets used in their experiments. I could not speak, for I too was bound and gagged with a contrivance of similar nature waiting for me to be placed in.

Then it’s Mary Lou’s turn (so to speak):

They had left off the boots on my costume, and i was glad of that, for the constricting lace boots were mighty uncomfortable after a period of time.

They finished with Jane and moved over to me to start their experiments anew. This time, they strapped me face down to a worm gear driven turn screw in the vacuum tube, with my arms, elbows, thighs, and legs strapped together. As the turn screw started, it gave me a not unpleasant sensation of floating on a cloud, as if I was in an airplane, but the speed quickened. I got a dizzy sensation and if the gag had not been secured tightly, I’d have felt my stomach turn inside out and make the throw up from nausea.

As I whirled around and around, I thought my end had come and, like a drowning person, my life seemed to flash past and in my mind I cursed myself for getting myself into such a dilemma.

The dizziness grew stronger as they turned up the speed, taking notes of my reactions and facial contortions. Just before i blacked ot an unconsciousness crept over me. I saw they will [sic] calmly were taking notes, watching me intently.
