Deviation Actions
The characters run around in the book naked accept for a jewelry, sandals and some sort of harness that they hang their swords on. Armlets are described. A gold collar when married. Sometimes things like a "scarf of silken gossamer crossing over one shoulder was wrapped about her body" but other then John carter either noting his own nakedness, or when a character is running around nude, other then informing the reader that a character is nude, the other characters in the story are so blasé, it never is even discussed between characters.
So if I draw Dejah Thoris like many, many, many comic artists have done, nude with jewelry is accurate, but it's easy to see why she generally is drawn with some sort of elaborate and impossible bikini. But the harness that the warriors wear is something I was thinking about. These guys fight in boats that float in the sky. ERB sometimes mentions that they are strapped to their ships. Wouldn't the harness be more like the type used by parachuters or high rise window washers? The kind designed to keep you strapped to your boat instead of looking like a red Conan-muscled BDSM guy?
And would a warrior go bare pickle? Even if he fights mostly nude, things like hands, neck, groin, and the head are the most important things to keep protected. So if there is a harness at all, why expose your junk? Is the point that Martians are so fierce, they are like Picts and just charged in naked to prove their bravery? Anyway, just mulling it over as I read Chessmen of Mars.

Projects in the pipeline
Medieval comic about Italian Swordfighters
The Keep on the Borderlands is going to ComicPress
Patreon Comic about a small Wizard's school
I finished or dismissed all the other projects I was talking about.
Feeling the crunch to draw some more.
I have to an old commission I need to draw. I have a Mystara fan Gazetteer to draw. More comic pages, More pages of my other comic. I want to practice digital painting so my pin-ups look better. I have a patreon comic to draw.... man, for someone who decided to pull back on webcomics, I'm still drawing a ton. I have a couple of rough drafts written by friends to read. And then there is my own comic collection the webcomic lists that are gathering dust. When is that windfall going to happen so I can draw full time? Huh, Universe? Huh? Huh? I'm waiting.
I guess I'm bad a social media.
I'm giving up future webcomic plans. I mention this the handful of people who give a shit. I'll finish The Keep on the Borderlands story though for the hand full of people who were generous enough to pu money on the patreon page, they deserve to see the story finish. But the webcomic is too much work for too little pay-off, and my comic isn't interesting enough to people who are not me to generate any interest. So fuck it, I have other things I need to work on.
Still drawing
I'm pretty crap at online marketing though. I see guys who post all over and have way more followers than I do and have been posting for less time. Do I care? Dunno. Maybe? I feed on feedback, but even my comic has 75% return visitors and nobody comments on anything. Bah. Never-mind. Going back to drawing.

bra and bikini are not worn to please others, thatis the secondary (sometimes )pleasant effect. it is mainly created to prevent pain frm bouncing boobs, preventing hanging boobs, and thus enable women to get a functionable life.
as adventurers are active, female ones would thus always where appropriate bra's, bikinis, corsets to support and prevent their precious jewels from pain, hurt and wear/tear.
just like males protect their 'jewels' in skimpy pants/armor
you dont want to see an old hero with his nuts on his knees, or a heroin with tits below the waist.
no..even socially anybody intends to be viewed as young and healthy as possible
typically, however, bad/evil characters don't do this...imagine trolls, hags, or witches with 'lowcut'breasts, or jabba the hut-like evil thieves guild bosses with their balls hanging out.
as thus i also suggest that male and female protect their privates due socio-cultural tendencies and only reveal these in the moments needed for....like dance and sex,
breasts will however be always shown at their best in bras, and only be 'freed' when lying and with sex
then their is the factor of magic; magic gives much more protection , does not prevent movement, or body exposure, and weighs...literally nothing....as thus only those too poor or unable to afford magic will use armor...or like dwarves, ..it is sociocultural dominant to wear armor.
climate controls clothing, even with the use of magic....maybe magic can supress the cold, it can't hold the snow, rain, sleet, and that does not feel happy on bare skin either.
as such the warmer, the less clothing, unless weather/sun can harm the skin (aging)...which can be prevented somewhat by magic, but still...
that is my idea on this.
