Description
I went into detail about this on my Tumblr, which you can read here: machsabre.tumblr.com/post/8624… But for those that don't feel like reading it, here's the long story short. I've never understood when people give shit to girls about being "fake geek girls" and the like, because I've got a ton of lady friends and they are ALL honest-to-God geek girls. In fact, almost every girl I've meet can be considered a geek girl in one way or another. They're not these elusive Pokemon, they're all over the damn place. In fact, I’m willing to bet just about every single female looking at this would consider themselves a nerd girl. So I've never understood it when some guys have made that claim that they're fake or that they don't exist... Because I have to wonder, because while I'm sure there's the occasional exception, I have NEVER MET a "fake geek girl". They've all been real nerd.So like I said, I have a lot of lady friends, and every one of them are nerd girls and I love 'em! So I thought it'd be kinda fun to take a bunch of them and imagine them as super-heroes, just based on aspects of their personality alone. I was originally going to do nine of them, but I ran short of time and got backed up a bit on commissions. (I need to catch up and get a few Shattered Glass pages turned in too!) So I stopped at six, and I'll do some more later when I'm caught up. (A few of these might end up popping up in some future comics I do.)

From the preview, I thought that Scaleblade was one of the Shadowgirls characters.
By the way, what's happened to that storyline please?

Well, I'm not involved with that comic anymore, so I'm about as in the dark as you are.
But as for Scaleblade's similarities to the Shadowchild, that's actually not an accident. Real life Scaleblade (my friend Allison) helped me design the Shadowchild form. I was never 100% happy with how it turned out, but hey... It worked, so that's all that mattered. So I thought with Allison's character, I would sort of 'redesign" the Shadowchild into something a little more alien and asymmetrical. Though I am aware it looks a little like the comic character Witchblade, but I do like the giant cleaver blade there. Like I said, I'm not involved with the comic anymore, but nothing's stopping me from using this design in another book, right?
