I wanted this character to have a Northern European name (for reasons which will be revealed later on)… I guess “Astrid” isn't too original, but it was the name of the character Alison Lohman played in “White Oleander”, and I would cast Alison to play this role (see the Bombshell movie poster http://www.drunkduck.com/community/view_topic.php?tid=48348). Even if this isn't clear from the get-go (the “spaced-out for a second”-line being the only hint on this page), the previous page depicts her mental imagery. This wouldn't be a problem if you could read the whole story at once; but since we're dealing with a webcomic here, I thought I should point it out.
BREAKING NEWS: Bombshell #1 is now available at indyplanet! The regular edition sports a cover by myself, but there's also a variant edition with a spectacular cover by lustyJin! Both editions contain 36 full-color pages (22 story pages + pinups & bonus stuff - These days, major publishers will charge up to $3.99 for 22 pages, but their printing costs are lower AND they'll include ads! So, $4.99 isn't as much as it may sound like). Please click on the pics above to go the indyplanet site for previews & more info.
Also, please click on the topwebcomics-button above to see a new pinup! Here's a little preview:
Thanks for reading, commenting, voting, and possibly buying! :D

I actually think it works just fine. There's a thematic link between the choice of the sword in the previous page and the choice of the blades in this one. Also, your art is freakin gorgeous!

Wow, this is a lot different coloring than I'm used to seeing from you! Really nice job! Now that I see you got a full issue finished I should start over and give this another whirl. This page is intense!
