Artist's commentary
Nanami Lucia + Arima Ahiru
I kidnapped two less well-known magical girls. Arima Ahiru, or her alter ego Princess Tutu, and Nanami Lucia, or her idol form Pink Pearl Voice. Both girls are very innocent and naive, so to tie them up and make them feel nervous and afraid, but also embarrassed, is quite alluring. I imagine they would quiver in fear in their bonds, whispering pleas not to hurt them.
I must admit, I've always had a liking for mermaids as well. They represent innocence in demeanor, as they are often unfamiliar with the human world but fall in love anyways, but exude eroticism in the way they are often dressed, with their exposed midriffs and seashell bras. I find it very appealing.
I watched both of the anime for these characters long ago when I was young. Lucia's personality is exactly the type of girl I love, the type of girl who wants to be protected. Ahiru is clumsy and awkward as a regular girl, but Princess Tutu is graceful and elegant, so the gap is very powerful.

They drew exactly what I asked for and made it better than I could have hoped with additional details of their own accord. A great joy to work with, and I think the final work looks wonderful.
