News:
Ah, I’ve just updated Pink Skin, my Pinky TA spin-off comic.

Page description:
Pinky and her S.S.V.5 (special scout vehicle, version 5), are lowered over the side of the ship into the choppy sea. Although it has calmed down a little since the cruiser was sunk. The S.S.V.5 sinks and reveals its nature as a submarine…
At the same time, Cc and Captain Rasovich are discussing things together. A bit later Cc goes over the side too, be she’s swimming! Pinky is going to use the time profitably to formulate a good plan of attack. Like all clever people she waits until the last minute to finish things of. ^_^

Commentary:
This page has got some nice looking panels, but they’re all a bit small. I was trying to make up for the slowness of my storytelling here by packing a lot of stuff into one page. Maybe I overcompensated? The interior of the S.S.V.5 was a bit of a challenge to do, I had to work out what levers and dials it needed and where I wanted to put them. It’s a very complicated layout for a very complicated machine! You have to realise that it’s meant to be old fashioned 1920’s tech, but also a pretty amazing hi-tech piece of gear. It has no LCD screens, readouts, HUDs, or computers, just levers, switches dials, lights, fuses, and a compass. As well as some mirrors that double as protective folding shutters.
Ahhh, Cc looks like she’s eating Rasovich’s moustache! Zoe pointed that out last time, and it still looks that way. ^^

Writer's challenge!
We’ve started up a weekly writer’s challenge in the forums. Each week writers try writing a short fanfic based on the characters of a DD comic we choose for that week. The first comic is Two Moons. See the details and entries here. It’s a fun way to practise your writing ^_^

A note:
Go to my main site for the latest work (27th January, 2006). I’m uploading one page a day with commentary and explanations here.
