News: Ah, I’ve just updated Pink Skin, my Pinky TA spin-off comic. (Silly humour)
Page description: Pinky is cruising South under the surface of the bottle-green Mediterranean ocean towards the Tunisian coast. On the way she passes under a French minelayer, scoffing at their efforts at protecting the coast when she clearly has no trouble bypassing the sea-mines. All the while she reviews the plans of this base at Matmata she’s meant to put out of action, forming a plan of attack as she goes, (she’s a professional, she can do that sort of thing).
Commentary: There is a cameo by Cyberna from Coydog’s UNA Frontiers. If you’re not following it, you should be! Yet another page with tiny panels. I was going for major exposition stuff here I suppose… There’s a lot of text and a funky green/red layout. I’d never drawn underwater scenes before, so all this was an experiment. Well, the page before had some underwater stuff, so I suppose that was the first, but my heart wasn’t into it then, OK? Finally, there’s “a whole lotta†stuff in the cockpit there. That was another tricky one to work out: what to put where? You see, I use zero references for that stuff, this entire page was done purely from imagination… But that’s beside the point, back to the cockpit; you can see her fury hat nestled next to the fan, her flame-rifle behind the seat, a medical kit on top of a tool box… It’s fun squeezing that stuff in, I could almost imagine being in there myself.
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.
