Driven

I screwed up the perspective on this page, but at least I'm trying. ^_^; I'm sure I'll improve with practice. This chapter was originally titled “Thief in the Night,” but it sounded too Biblical.
I tried plain sepia tone for the “memory flash,” but I didn't like it, so I went with this. I kinda like this technique, but I might tweak it a little. I'm sure it won't work for long flashbacks, but for the purpose of this chapter, it gets across the feeling I want.
One more thing, you really should check this out. Seriously. Just click it. I'll wait.
blntmaker & LanceDanger: It's a shame he chose criminal activity instead of the stage!
DAJB: Wouldn't surprise me.
Anubis: No matter how convincing he is, what Seiko heard contradicts the story.
amanda: He keeps the cheap stuff in the guest rooms – in case a fight scene breaks out. XD
Peipei: Not sure there's much of a “plan,” but she wants to do something, and a direct confrontation would put her at a disadvantage.
JustNoPoint: But she needs her glasses to see! I draw them last, so it shouldn't affect her face shape. Hopefully it's just a coincidence. I changed my “face style” in that chapter and the last half just happens to have her sans specs. Maybe all the sketching I do to put of drawing UB pages is paying off. ^_^ – And you think that's what men are always looking at! (Maybe they are… You'd know better than I.)
n_y_japlander: o.o Mmmmm…
Tantz: I'm glad they pulled off the intended effect. ^_^
ghostrunner: We might be too late. – Glad to see you back. I hope you're feeling better.
patrickdevine: Perhaps so. Raidon might be satisfied that she doesn't know anything and believes him. Depends on whether his arrogance is stronger than his caution – and Seiko's acting abilities (she lost it for a second, but did he see?).

Oh, you should have totally had all the chibi characters hanging out of that car kinda like a clown car!

Yep it isn't the glasses. Cause she looks excellent here too! I'm loving your new head style/head body size ratio combo with her. Now if we could do something to upgrade Raidon a bit. Though I think his hair prevents that XD And we don't [i]always[/i] look there. You just catch the guys when they are sneaking a glance each time that's all ;-)

Hmmmm....How could he be so careless to leave her with a phone and keys? I have a feeling he has something dirty cooked up x.x. I bet he did it on purpose :O.

Uh oh, he's going to frame her for something. Also, he has an appropriate phone for his tastes. Entertained!

Love her ruminations, and I really like the way you've drawn her profile in this. Well done. Oh, and I clicked! Shazam!

GAH! It's all a set up! It's all a set up! You're not tied up...a phone visible...KEYS??? Refrain!
DAJB at 10:59PM, April 26, 2010
Keys! Maybe he's left her a getaway car as well as a phone! ;-)

you have keys because you're about to be hung out to dry
