The biggest problem is structuring the poses. As soon as you have two figures interacting, even in a minor way, the complexity goes way up, because you need to retain consistency of foreshortening and perspective.
About 1.5 hours was spent figuring out the general pose, and sketching it in line/mannequin..
About 2 hours drawing, picking out details, restructuring, draping (which I pretty much faked), and shading. Then about an hour to scan, clean, and add photoshop text.
Not having to detail certain features, of course, made some aspects much easier than a standard character drawing.
