More pin-up/eye candy art, featuring Shelteena.
Portia isn't the only girl in my roster with a canon/story-related reason to basically exist to pose in underwear... Shelteena is a dancer and escort and various other euphemisms for "stripper" and "prostitute", although I try to tiptoe around using such terminology to describe her as much as possible. When I initially designed her over 15 years ago(!!!) I was hoping to keep things PG-rated (although even then it was clear what her profession was, it was never planned to be directly stated), and the dancing around the subject evolved into something of an in-joke over the years.
Then again... "entertainer" works as a job title because she can dance fairly well without the aid of a pole and is a fairly decent singer, and a competent bartender, meaning she can work in completely safe-for-work, family-friendly settings without any issue whatsoever!

She's always my personal favorite - maybe it's what she does, maybe it's her sultriness...
Maybe it's the fact that she's hot enough to sleep with 😉
In any case, it's been a while since I last drew her. I did say that I was going to have her servicing a client... 😋
Also, a very interesting concept, that last part...!

Very glad you like her! It definitely seems like you're drawn to more about her than her appearance alone, although honestly in the 15+ years I've been drawing Shelteena I'm not sure I've really delved into or developed her characterization much beyond her professions.
Sexuality is great but it's not a substitute for a personality or character, there's gotta be something more to her than that, and I should really try to figure that out someday--perhaps I should explore that singing and dancing I mentioned, or maybe in her various roles she's discovered a knack for being an impromptu therapist of sorts and despite her demeanor and appearance could actually make for a great counselor if she decides to start a career that requires wearing more than lingerie and a suggestive smile most days...

Well, if you really want, I'm the go-to guy for characterizations. Trust me, I've been worldbuilding for ages.
I'd really like to see her start out as a bit a rebel/gangster/biker who took advantage of her sexuality and used it as a profession. Then, she worked in Carmine's club, and she decided to make music as part of the CurvyDoe collective (pretty much any type of music, even hyperpop!)
Those are just my thoughts.
