Description So yeah, it took a while but here's page 12, this one I just added the text and cleaned up shadow Cathy a bit otherwise this was the last page I worked on before stopping.

Open Space: So here's the beginning where I pretty much, unintentionally mind you, started writing Cathy as the villain in this story where I never really intended there to be a villain. I don't know if it's achieved or not but I tried to show Missy's limited vision through her eyes on this page. I think I had the idea how but never truly was able to make it look right. And yes, if anyone is asking, Cathy is pulling off a Miyata pose.
EDIT: Dammit! I just saw that I left Cathy's eye color green instead of it's regular brown. I usually color it green or blue so the colors stay seperate from her hair but I just saw I seem to have neglected that.

Panel 1: Cathy goes into Missy's blindspot in a way how I'm not sure anyone could actually tell without me having to say so right now which is the great downside of reusing artwork (and obviously so as well) since the panel isn't drawn to what the scene needs. A shortcut I never corrected.

Panels 2-6: Missy frantically looking around the ring for Cathy which I do think turned out well.

Panel 8: Shadow Cathy! Originally how I wanted this was as Cathy's body was getting closer to Missy it would become brighter since she would be "stepping out of the shadows" but was never able to truly make it look right so I just went with a faded look here. Still works but I think the coming out of the shadows bit would have worked a ton better here.

Panel 9: That blood effect is all types of bad. But, Cathy's punch, which I don't know if it worked, is coming from outside of the panel and the page to strike Missy, as if it's coming out of nowhere.

And yes kids, Santa is real and so is 's ownership of Missy as his character.

I like the way you made Missy's cheek roll up from that punch.

But she's got more punches to come before that mouthpiece comes out.

I really like how you worked that blindspot for Missy, very unique idea in how you showed it in the 2nd rectangel panel from the bottom. Just seeing Cahy just lurking in the blindspot, ready to pounce with her eyes shimmering like a lioness on the prowl at night.

Keep em' coming, this comic rocks

Yeah, that second to last panel is my favorite panel of the page as it's the one that really seems to come together right from head to page.
And I never thought about the lioness on the prowl comparison but it does fit well.

Wow, this really caught me unprepared - I didn't hope to see another page anymore
Good job, I really hope you can finish this one day.
BTW, the glove in the last panel looks awesome. Too bad I can't say the same about Missy - she looks awesome only when she's winning

ExcessiveH In reply to yamazaki42 [2009-02-24 06:08:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it sort of caught me off guard as well.

And you know Missy's got a big comeback coming eventually.

I know, I know... I just hope your last journal entry was supposed to indicate you're determined to finish this project
Honestly, I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, I would really like to see this whole thing finished

Oh yeah, I really want to finish this comic. Kind of like my own little crappy rallying call to myself (I don't think that made sense).
Plus I almost feel partially like it's this giant monkey on my back hitting me repeatedly over the head anytime I try to do something else.

"You're drawing a Supergirl rip-off!? Get back to the comic!"
