Page 10: issues 6 (The Trial) and Special 2 (Sysyphus Part 2)

I'm putting together a crossover project for next year that will also benefit the Hero Initiative. If you're interested in participating, e-mail me at karamesser@hotmail.com or PQ me on this site.

Top page: So, the plan for escape is revealed. And like every good story, every character assembled here will have their part to play. Too bad Sparkle doesn't know her role. She's currently dealing with her own problems.
I really like panel 4. It's not perfect, but I realize I'm getting much better at hands. Now, if only I can do better on everything else… Oh, and I forgot Sparkle's bow in panel 10. I really seem to keep doing that. It's a defining feature, darn it! And in that panel, she's not backhanding the creature, but instead is just swinging her arm to the side, and the creature is following that momentum. Too bad I drew it so poorly.

Bottom page: In comes Gothia, AKA Aggie, creator of the comic American Gothic. She joined the Evil Overlords late into the Crossover Wars. I'm taking some liberty here, though. In the Wars, she's seen as torturing characters with a pencil and, one can extrapolate, whips, while she's only shown drinking blood for fun. However, I felt that she should be able to get information from a victim through blood (as vampires are often depicted as sharing memories with a bite). Of course, considering Tempore's blood is white, it's hard to not make that look inappropriate. Just be assured she's biting his neck, and that's blood running down.
I like panel 2, though it's probably one which is better without color. And I forgot the Editor's glasses in panel 4. I really need to remember to draw accessories for characters.
