Between-chapters Intermission This is the final pencil version of the guest art. Bittertea's full-color version of this will be posted at FIGHT_2, after the end of its current chapter. This guest art features some of the upcoming characters in both comics. Heh, moving from the sketches to this final pic feels like the progression in a photo shoot.
She tells me that pencils are her preferred traditional media. I'll always prefer inks for myself, even though I can technically do everything she outlined in her Scorch penciling tutorial now that I have a great scanner. I simply like the liquidity of ink. One thing I don't get about that tutorial, is why she fills in blacks with permanent markers when she can just use the fill tool in Photoshop. She gets high on the fumes or something.
It took a bit of research to find different archetypes of obscure female characters. The time periods where Ed and I do our mining is especially rich; those stories are typically male-dominated, and the women's roles repressed even when some of them start out with so much potential. Um… yeah this pic doesn't scream "grrl pow4r"… it's just a photo shoot…
I also have to thank Evil Emperor Nick, Alejkhan, and Bittertea for giving me ideas/leads for great characters and additional subplots, intentionally or inadvertently.
Always feel free to suggest to me fan character ideas. The only ones I won't consider are… historical figures, superheroes, and Star Wars/ Star Trek/ Naruto/ Bleach/ DBZ/ etc.
Read the companion comic FIGHT 2; these stories take place in the same world.
