Page 14: issues 6 (The Trial) and Special 2 (Sysyphus Part 2)

I'm putting together a crossover project which will also help the Hero Initiative. If interested in participating, please e-mail me at karamesser@hotmail.com or PQ me here.

Top page: Everybody is settling into their roles here, as the Winged Ones come in. I was going to call them “Fliers”, but the good guys were using that as a good term, so it was out. But we're also getting the villain's origin story. Notice that the flashback is black and white (well, I colored the monkey bars grey, but it's the same spirit) until the events that change his life forever. Why did I do this? For one, I was lazy and couldn't think what to color everything, but for another, I kind of wanted some sort of symbolic lens. Just, the symbolism is after the fact, in a sense, so it's faux symbolism.
At least I'm honest there.

Bottom page: Well what do you know, it's the last page of the issue, and Hogan just missed Tempore. I can never draw Hogan the same each time, which is frustrating. But I think I made him look a lot like my little brother this time–which is fitting, since he also likes to do mean things to me (but his stuff doesn't involve axes–he likes to push my buttons, is all, since it's just the job description of “little brother”).
Also, I'm sorry for the laziness of the copyright indicia (if you can even read it–I realize it's really small). As I was doing this page, my computer was doing a weekly virus scan, and I dare not stop those, since I want AVG to catch everything I may have caught.

Tomorrow: the special issue may be done, but issue 6 continues, as the group deals with the Winged Ones while trying to contact the outside world, and the villain's origin continues
