Description
FINALLY. :'D I have waited so long to get my turn to do my page for 's Round Robin. The comic somehow got postponed for quite awhile, and most people including myself lost hope, but it got revived at last and much rejoicing commenced. <3
Anyway.
Yes, you can all hate me now because I went and shifted from the bank to somewhere else right when something exciting was about to happen. There is a method to my madness, however, and I did it for two reasons:
1. Dramatic effect. We've all seen a story where multiple scenes are going on at once and they are switched between at key moments to put the audience on the edge of their seat and get them excited to see what happens next. Well, this is intended to help accomplish that for this comic.
2. I was tired of the bank. SRSLY. Even though we've only been at the bank for 13 pages, there was that huge time gap, so it seemed longer. I wanted to shake things up a bit. Besides, it's been hinted that there's something much larger than a simple bank robbery going on, so this helps that theory out.
When choosing characters to use in this, I was actually hard-pressed to find villains with enough usable information in the group. :/ People, y'all need to get to creating some more villains, especially males (I'm already working on one, so you can't say I'm being a hypocrite). There is a lot of disporportion in the male-to-female ratio for both heroes and villains. I mean, just look at all the characters who've shown up in the comic so far:
Females - 20 (not counting Jeshula and Holly)
Males - 3
O.o Wow.
So about this page itself. I decided to shove them all in the park. Why? Because... The heroes were... going somewhere important and... these villains attacked here as a distraction. IDK LOL I made it night because I don\'t recall seeing any indication of time of day in any of the previous pages. :/ By the time I got to shading this darn thing, I was really wanting to be done with it so I could post it, so the shading is really rushed, along with a little bit of the BG. Please ignore that.
I didn't intend for this to happen, but both of 's characters I used ended up fighting each other. Also, I'm amused at Shade being the only male on the entire page. XD BTW, I don't know if I exaggerated HallowMare's demonic appearance too much, but it was definitely fun. The sagging old lady boobs are a little disturbing, though. For the heroes, I mostly went and picked out characters I found interesting. I know at least one I chose because their owner was going to get a turn soon, but I can't remember who it was.
Shade (Hero), Hazard (Villain) (C)
sKate (Hero) (C)
Zapps (Hero) (C)
Spektra (Villain) (C)
HallowMare (Villain) (C)
Dragara (Hero), Art (C) Me

I loooove this page so much!!!
Psssh I love how you protrayed Mare, it's simply horrifying, in a splendid way of course!!
But overall the composition and the flow are just so very nice.

Sorry for the late reply.
Thank you! Glad you didn't think I went over the top with her. :3 Thanks. <3 I really wanted to make sure that the page flowed, since a couple of the previous pages were so hard to read. :/

Well, that was... unexpected o.0 After being in the bank so long, I couldn't believe this page was connected to the robin when I first saw it, but I love the directional change. I agree with your reasoning on it too, it does add a good amount of suspense and leaves a lot of new questions about the depth of the bank robbery plot and how much our heroes knew in the beginning. If this was only supposed to be a simple training mission for the newer members, what was going on in the park before HalloMare, Hazard, and Spektra showed up? Could the villains have possibly known our heroes movements the entire time and the simpleness of the first crimes have all been a set-up for them? Granted a couple more pages have been posted since this submission, but still, it leaves a lot to think about Nothing bad to say about your artwork/coloring/page set-up either, everything looks very clean and professional I wish I could color like that
Side note, it is hard to find villains with enough information to work with. When I created my page, I had the same problem. For it being a problem though, I think the groups we have (counting the ones up to and including this page) work well together, being planned or not.

Yeah, I was worried everyone would raeg at me for changing it so suddenly. But I'm glad it worked out. Yeah, this comic has a lot of potential to become something amazing and deep. :3 Thank you! <3 I wish I could color better.

I hadn't checked the comic in a while, so this is why I'm only commenting now but wow this page is really cool! There's a whole lot going on, it's full of things for ones eyes to take in. It feels fast paced, you can feel they're in quite a rough predicament and that they need assistance quick quick quick!
Anyhow, the page is beautiful. I love the background!
Also, yay! sKate showed up!
(thanks for putting her in ♥!)

LOL I can understand, what with the giant hiatus and all. Thanks! <3
I actually probably spent the least amount of time on the BG. XD
Yes! I think she has a great design, so I just had to put her in. You're welcome.

...HALLOWMARE AND SHADE, this page is my instant favorite. 8D You portrayed them so well; I think Mare is definitely a scare-you-pantsless kinda character, so... the uber-demonic-ness fits, in my eyes. owo Even if it's not her usual guise. X)
...Neon and Mizzy aren't even on the list, though... Shame~
(...future pages permitting, my mind is already spiraling with all the different things I can do with this! X3 )
...But the coloring and nice smoothness and shading are great, too. @.@; Almost makes me dread my turn because I can't color that nicely.
And that "Elsewhere" caption is very classic-comic-book-y. X) So your sudden transition feels right. *~bonus points of approval~*
...Whoa, hey, we're on page 14 already?!
I was so far behind, wow... @w@';;

Thank you! <3 Glad I'm not the only person who sees her that way. X3
Maybe this will convince them to join.
Yeah, while awaiting my turn, I was so worried I was going to get a page where it would just be hard to do what I planned to do. But I got lucky. X3
Thank you! <3 Glad to be inspiring! X3
Yaybonuspoints *noms*
Honestly, I'm more like, "Page 14? I could've sworn we got past that." I guess I'm just ahead. XD

I'll be sure to poke Mizzy next time I talk to her, and maybe I can convince Neon to jump in. XD
Lucky indeed.
Would you like some cookie with your noms? 8D;
I kept thinking we were still on page 7, or wherever it was when it went on an unannounced hiatus...
Dragara In reply to RavensHiddenSoul [2012-02-02 04:17:30 +0000 UTC]
<3
Yeah. I try to do a lot of planning for things so that I don't risk running into something undesirable as much. LOL Well, maybe she could be ambushed, or you could just go ahead and cut into the middle of the battle without explaining how exactly she got in it. X3 Cuz battlez r awesum. >:U

Haha, I love the page. Really, nice job!
Wow. I never realized how many female OCs are in existence. I think it's because everyone likes to pair people up, and since in the show there are more males than females, it makes sense (to them, anyway) that there should be more female OCs. I actually have about 20 OCs for many fandoms...and of all of them, 2 are males.
I should make a male for TT to try and get some more balance in.
...Looking back...man, we were in the bank for a long time. Huh. Of course, it did jump around a bit...and, man, way to choose a GREAT time to change! Cliffhangers abound!

Dragara In reply to Linzerj [2012-02-01 02:35:38 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! <3
Yeah, I didn't notice it either until I was choosing characters to use. There aren't enough Y-chromosomes in the group. XD Although I can understand that reasoning. Also, most people who make OCs (at least for TT anyway) are female, so I'm sure that has something to do with it as well.
YES. CLIFFHANGERS FTW.

Linzerj In reply to Dragara [2012-02-01 02:37:57 +0000 UTC]
No problem!
I mean, people come up with good characters...but it seems there's a bazillion females. Made by females. Probably inserting their character to be with the person in the show they wish they could be with!
CLIFFHANGERS, HANGING FROM A CLIFF!

I wish. LOL But this page did give me real insight into the comicking world. If I ever made any of the comics I told myself/others I would, I would definitely have to simplify my style. I just don't think I could draw that much that often on a regular basis. XD

well comics usually are made in group, one guy makes the lineart, other the coloring, another the dialogues, but you did everything
