Description You know, a few days ago, I was talking about how wonderful and crazy it is that people are actually following these crazy stories I come up with, and then that other artists take the time to create my characters as well.

The other side of that is that I get to have some fun with other peoples' characters too!

If you had told me back before I came here that I would, in the near future, be creating a comic fight scene that included two red-heads, I would have chuckled.  If you had told me that those two gingers would be a Canadian ninja and an American who believes she is the reincarnation of the legendary Scottish warrior Scathach, I would have laughed my ass off!  And yet, here we are!

Maple, the Canadian ninja, is the property of and I've created this little tussle as my submission to his #StarveverseJam2019 , which you can learn more about here:   Announcing #StarverseJam2019!...Yeah, now seems like as good a time to mention this as any. lol So, my birthday is coming up in a little over a month (June 3rd, to be exact). Now, most people on here, when their birthday or Christmas or whatever comes up, they have a few specific requests for people to make for them, or post a wish list, or something like that. However, in looking over some of the requests/commissions/fan art I've gotten of my OCs, I realized, I really like seeing people give their own takes on my characters. So, the idea of instead doing an artjam based around my characters came to mind, but I wasn't sure if anyone would be into doing an artjam suggested by me, since I'm kinda small-time on here. To figure out whether that would fly or not, I opted for a test run, suggesting the #CarMagazineModelJam to see how well that would go over. Suffice to say, it surpassed my expectations. So, here we are, as I am announcing for

I had actually planned originally to make one of his other characters before I stumbled into Maple.  And once I saw her, the potential for some fun mayhem was just too much to pass up!

If you're planning to sneak up on someone, bright orange isn't the best idea

Awesome posing

Silly Canadians!  I guess she just figures black wouldn't be polite!

I was tired and a little tipsy. The title looked like "Maple, Meet Sasquatch!" Great action here, even if she isn't Bigfoot.

As a ginger myself, it’s always good to see fellow gingers fighting the good fight

And you can pick whichever one you think is fighting the good fight!

Well, Scathach is fighting the good fight of course! Maple launched a sneak attack, and that's just dishonorable. Doesn't really fit in with that stereotypical Canadian politeness, eh?

lexi-tink In reply to garlicknight [2019-06-10 20:01:21 +0000 UTC]

She is in a constant state of internal turmoil!  All that ninja training conflicting with her natural Canadian politeness!  It's probably why the sneak attack failed.  She couldn't help but give a polite cough just before striking.

And that's why a mad woman with a claymore will always best a polite ninja!

It's actually a spear.  You just can't see the whole thing in this one!

Calling herself a Scottish warrior and not even using a Claymore? Guess I’ll have to root for Maple now

lexi-tink In reply to garlicknight [2019-06-10 21:51:35 +0000 UTC]

hehe... actually, she's based after the ancient Scottish Warrior woman named Scathach, who wielded a spear called the Gae Bulg!

Then it was a good day!  And I only learned about her by doing a search for legendary female warriors.  There aren't many!  But she was appropriately obscure for me to build a character around!

Nice pic!
Life takes us down interesting paths. If someone had told me I'd get a smile and fave ginger on ginger violence (possibly the reddest form of violence) I might not have believed it either.
