MISS A PAGE? ---
Tools of the trade: 1 black sharpie, 1 white gel pen, copic and prismacolor markers, a ruler, + photoshop for text
(Fonts from blambot.com)
My scanner destroyed the colors...
Schoolwork is a heavy load right now, so I have no guarantees on the next update. Good news--it's almost fully inked. Bad news--I have no spare time!
[EDIT]
I have put this comic on temporary hold until after March 7, when I will pick up work again. That weekend is the banquet for my conservation award at the annual Kansas Wildlife Federation meeting, and also the final day for scholarship auditions at K-State.
Until then, I'm going to be tied up with science olympiad (regionals take place at the end of February), Oboe and English Horn auditions/challenges/ensembles, and any art that I can squeeze in is (and has only been) Eco-related. Inspiration strikes at rare times, and I can't ignore this strikingly rich enthusiasm to work on such trifles as fancomics. I know you're all anxious to see an update, but I hope you can stand to wait a few more weeks...
With love,
Rachel

The history and the draw it's really amazing!
You are very good in put the chacters and the background all together, some people make it like it was apart. The faces are really good and apreciate the angles that you choose, like the above view on the last screen.

Please continue this wonderful work!

Nah... It's not so bad. It take me longer on the computer, because I usually try to perfect it more when I can work at a pixel level, so markers help it get along faster.

i suppose it wouldnt take that long, but if you made a mistake you would have to start again, specially with markers

Saw this earlier, was forming my thoughts on it in the meantime.
First off, love the expressions, especially Raven''s on #37. I saw you talking about coloring, and honestly the only thing I saw different on 37 was that the lines and colors were darker than usual, which isn't a negative at all, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.
I do want to comment on Robin and Rose though. I understand part of the Robin "Slade" thing was to play for laughs, but I would be just a bit conscious to not make him over-obsessive on it. I know we're talking Robin-Slade here, but the former's had five seasons to work out that obsession, and starting in Season Four Robin moved more from the direction of Slade being his personal arch-nemesis to seeing him as a threat the whole team had to deal with together (Haunted can be noted as where he still saw himself as the only one capable of dealing with Slade). I may be jumping to conclusions (I probably am), but just wanted to throw that out there.
On Rose, I've gotta say this; for the DC line of comics I've never been a big fan of her, being that she was put in there because Wolfman had killed Slade's other kids but realized he still wanted a family angle on Deathstroke, but I've been really digging her here because A)She's been kept at a reasonable age; i.e. younger than the others by some four-five years (TTG made the mistake of making her the same age as Joseph but that's another discussion altogether about TTG), and has been given her powers, but not in a way to totally overshadow the others. Needless to say I am a bit worried about the "swords" comment; as I said really like her current position, but I'm afraid of seeing her get [i]too[/i] much skills/fancy abilities. I know, I'm the minority voice here who doesn't completely love Rose and it's sorta' hypocritical in that I have no problem seeing Jericho get a good deal of spotlight but what can I say, I always fancied Slade having two sons, Rose was cooler when Slade was keeping his distance to protect her.
This comic is only a 1/3rd of the way done though so honestly don't take my words to much to heart, you've been doing an amazing job so far on your own and I'm sure you've got all the precautions in there to keep this wonderful.
Last note; gotta look at previous pages, but Robin's hair in the last two pages has been a "bit" too short, looking more like Tim Drake than Dick in the show. To note again though the headshot of him with Raven and Beast Boy has him pretty perfect so what am I saying, you know your things.
Keep up the amazing work.

Hey Jormand! First off--thanks a ton for the comment. I love the fact that you pay such close attention to the details (even when it's pointing out flaws). Without people like you, I probably wouldn't notice some of these things in time to fix them.
Okay--Robin. He's a character I haven't dealt with much in the past (mostly because his character didn't interest me and I've always used him as a sort of "filler," if you know what I mean). I have already sorted through most of the plot, so I do have a solid idea of which direction the characters will take. I tossed around ideas of how to handle Robin for some time before settling on something, and any obsession that claims him /in the end/ is justified. The beginning was mostly for laughs, but I'm glad you warned about the flaws in his reaction. Now that I think about it, you are exactly right. Robin has outgrown his obsessive tendancies (especially after Haunting), but I believe it's something that runs in his nature--it's his intransigent will to see justice through to the end that gets him so riled up about Slade. And when Slade takes this fight to a personal level (which is exactly what he will do), it's hard for Robin not to get sucked in. I'll return to my outlines and scripts to ensure that I'm not generalizing Robin's character by assigning him an obsession that doesn't make sense--if he becomes obsessed, it will be for a good reason.
And Rose--I have to agree. I hate the direction DC has taken with her (especially turning her into the stereotypical "bad girl" of the group), and I do try hard to establish a decent (in the broad sense of the term) character for her. Things will complicate as time goes by, but don't worry about the swords. 
And on the hair--I hadn't noticed that at all!! It was more a folly of my undulating art style and the result of my rush to finish than anything done purposefully. I'll watch that. XD
Thanks again for the comment--I appreciate it more than I can say (yes, I really do love nit-picking)! I hope you continue to enjoy it--and I hope that I don't disappoint you with the end result.
-Rachel

Yay, more comic! Excellent!
Reading stuff like this makes me want to make a fan comic...but I have nothing written, and probably never will... :/ I'm terrible at writing. No inspiration whatsoever. But, my sis was hinting at writing a weird idea she had called "the secret world of jumping spiders"...or something along those lines...that would be good as a sequential art book.

No inspiration but reading DA's fancomics, apparently.
Copics cost about 5-6 dollars per marker, but there are websites where you can purchase them cheaper.

Really? Well, I'm sure most of the writers would like their stories translated to art, eh?
...yeah, last night I found out it was fully written already...but, man, it is HARD to draw a spider that doesn't look scary, ugly, or crappy. They're very tough to cartoon...
5-6 bucks? That's not bad, maybe I'll save up one day.
