A beautiful page from RedDeath of BAD GUY HIGH. His commentary:
“There's a joke between everyone working on this that Energize's costume kind of makes him look like an ”Extreme 90's“ character. So for whenever I have to draw Energize I like to roll with that idea and loosely draw him in a style inspired by the extraordinary Jim Lee. Even though part of the fun of this project is seeing other artists tackle your characters, I do like to put a slightly different angle on each of the different teammates, either to mirror the original artist's style or just vaguely imply they're all from different realities.
You'll also notice that I can never seem to draw Mindmistress the same way twice. Sometimes she's gray, sometimes she has a blue-tint, sometimes I draw the lines of her costume in the inks, and sometimes I do it digitally. I'm constantly re-approaching how to draw her.”
[quote=RemusShepherd]When drawing Mindmistress, I always used to pick colors from however Neilsama drew her last. [img]http://images.drunkduck.com/community_gfx/emotes/grin.gif[/img][/quote]
Joke's on you. I kept coloring her green.

And all of those guys get a big THANKS from me!
@Tolrick: We pick and choose how we divvy up the art chores. For the Magellan run I decided to handle that all by myself (because I'm insane) where as Essaybee, based on his other commitments, has asked that the various pages be shared amongst us. So during this stint in Fusion's World you'll have pages from Red Death, Nepath, Al and myself as well...
i thought we were still in the midst of EssayBee's current run. Not that I mind seeing Red Death's art, always fun to see.
And the story's still awesome.
Interesting note: Unless the male members of the Doppelganger Gang have some protection we don't know about, they're gonna get 'bromanced' too.
Leaving Suki to fend off MM, Hoodoo, AND Fusion all at once.
I don't see Harold conscious for much longer.
Dan, I like that you vary your approach to Mindmistress. It's good to experiment. I definitely lean toward giving her a blue tint myself, but only slightly. I think that gray with a slight hue of blue conveys metal very well.
The font on panels 2A and 2B could have been just a bit bigger. My brain spent about 3 minutes trying to figure out WTH frog-metal was and why 90% of the fans were guys. Once I figured that out, all was right with the world and I was able to truly enjoy this the way I was supposed to. Two thumbs up so far, folks.
They should have warned Energize---the first thing you sacrifice in joinring THIS group is your dignity!
Another update this Thursday, another beautiful page by RedDeath!
RedDeath nailed this page! Energize's expressions in every panel are great, and just everyone's body language is perfect. Oh, and the colors aren't too shabby either.
That first panel is a great Mindmistress. The lines make the armor look more metallic that way.
And it's good that you're emulating Jim Lee and not a certain other popular 90s artist and Image founder whose last name starts with an L. And I'm not talking about Erik Larsen.
And it's great to see Pharaohmoan in action. Also nice to see that Energize is not immune to his powers.

You'd think someone would ask ME how to color Mindmistress....

To be beat by him, how embarrasing for Energize.

That last panel of Energize feeling the bromance is just priceless. And I love that action shot of Hoodoo too!
