Description
Centauri's story continues, with a little glimpse of where Jaime Jones has been for the last thirty years! Quite pleased with how this came out, even if it was a bit of a rush job!Previous page:

More storytelling in two pages than the entire first hour of most modern superhero movies.

LOL - there's a lot to be said for being forced to get the story done in three pages isn't there! I've not really noticed this in films, but the tendency in currant comics to have whole issues where the heroes sit around and talk about stuff is very frustrating! Thanks for the kind words and the s for my Century pages - as always, much appreciated!

My pleasure. I truly love how skilled and gifted a storyteller you are, and Centauri is just a beautiful, wonderful character who will have plenty of great storytelling (woman out of time, especially) possibilities for you.

Yeah - I hope to be able to explore that a bit in the next month's challenge - we shall see! Lots of potential with a new character anyway

Where has she been? Being a big god damn hero is what I'd wager given the two panels. Really gives a strong hint at the type of life Jaime has been living, and it great epic style I pretty much come to expect from ye with your amazing talent at setting backdrops and what not in your panels. Good storytelling in so few panels and words

Thanks for the kind words - I had a much more ambitious version of this sequence planned at one point with loads of images from her time in space - but in retrospect I think it's probably better like this - the two panels hint at the story pretty well and we can reveal the rest as we go - I quite like the idea of working in more flashbacks in later challenges.

Great little intro story! Very cinematic. It's going to be fun to watch you draw an offensive powered hero. I've always enjoyed Vigil as well, but change is good now and then.

Thanks a lot (and for the too!) I'm not getting rid of Vigil, but she's not in the DU anymore - it was getting a bit confusing having identical alternate versions of the same character! I thought I'd enjoy the DU a bit more if there was a new character just for it - I wouldn't be constantly thinking 'Vigil would never do that...'

Of course. Half the fun of the DU is drawing new characters.

Kostmeyer In reply to Gaston25 [2013-10-01 19:53:06 +0000 UTC]
The new, streamlined DU appealed to me too - a bit easier to follow and hopefully a few less daft characters - (I know that's a very relative term!)

Gaston25 In reply to Kostmeyer [2013-10-01 20:00:37 +0000 UTC]
I completely agree. Some weird characters still...
I'd like a traditional universe without the animal themed characters, and cartoon characters, but it's all in fun.

I know. I was just stating my enthusia for a more traditional universe of heroes and villains.

Kostmeyer In reply to Gaston25 [2013-10-01 20:05:33 +0000 UTC]
Yeah - I figure I can mostly just pick and choose who I work with and quietly push the weird stuff aside and pretend it's not there! There are enough great artists and characters to work with

Thanks! My favourite bit of the sequence too - gives a real sense of the epic scale of what Centauri has been up to

Actually I think she kind of enjoyed this sort of thing! Danger is exciting! (Not my personal philosophy, you understand!) Thanks for the !

Back to the Legionnaire story next - but more Centauri soon! The new challenge looks interesting!

Oh, that ... I don't know what to do there
Well, Otherworld must come first anyway.
But I'm looking forward to your entry for this month's DU challenge.

I think it's a nice challenge because basically we can just do character stuff against the backdrop of this radiation thing - you could use this to reunite Yenna with the others or just show us a bit more about what the A.N.G.E.L.S are. They could become pretty important now there's no R.A.P.T.O.R.
Still doing what we had planned for Otherworld? Note me if you have specific plans you need to discuss!

Branded-Curse In reply to Kostmeyer [2013-10-01 19:02:16 +0000 UTC]
Yep, everything still goes as planned
As for DU, good idea, but I'll have to see how quick I get the other stuff done.

Remind me what the plan actually is - I'm way behind on Otherworld now - Zorzathir has posted about a million pages I still have to look at - does this round alter our plan?
