Part 7 page 1

Page description:
Pinky pulling on her stockings in her room. She's in Tripoli, Libya, currently getting ready to meet some old friends. While wondering at the appearance of a battle machine that's quite similar to her own departed model, a man approaches and supplies her with some extra details.
Commentary:
2 days late! Jebus, I'm slipping again. It's just that it's difficult to find your feet in a new storyline when you've been caught up in another one for so long. Not to mention the different colour schemes, character designs, and drawing those damn complicated mecha again.
The Screen was based on an Art Decco design by Frank Brangwyn. Pinky's Room design was inspired by a photo of a 1930's bathroom at Claridges.
Vote using the BCX button to see the pure line version of this page. You can get a better idea of the mecha design that way. And vote using the Top Web comics button to see a big closeup of the screen and Pinky's stockinged leg. Sexy! Well I think so anyway.
Fanart
This well studied Pinky in tank commander's outfit was done by the maddest of mad Scotts of Madscott and especially The Gigcast fame!!!! The Gigcast man, why the hell aren't you listening to the greatest webcomics podcast in existence? WHY?
Feature +——————+ Fanart
This week's feature is Fated Feather. A fantasy comic that slips through the past on a pirate ship, chasing the captain's opposite. The all female crew drawn from different eras and geographic locations make for an interesting mix of characters!
Man, I have a helluva lot of comments to reply to on past 3 or so pages. Sorry for being lax in that, I DO read every single of one them and I love them all! ^_^

I love how you could have drawn a woman's rigid sanding silhouette just like any other artist may, but you chose this dynamic "I fight the world" pose for a quirky dialog and leave me to wonder why... why oh why... perhaps it is a pose against the machines? Hm.

[b][u]Replies[/u][/b]: [b]Freux[/b] - Thnakee Freux! Heh, Pinky's my own little dressup doll, hehehehe! [b]Cresc[/b] - Thankss Cresc, it does indeed! Ah that screen was such a pleasure to make in the pic. I love using old designs like that. [b]Terminal[/b] - Hahaha, you're so right man! When I think about it, yeag! Ha! That film had some great style, although they went more for future 30's than 20's, but that top room does indeed look like their 30's futurisitic space cruse ship cabin! [b]MrGranger[/b] - Aww, you're too kind man. hahaha, it's not really ^^ [b]Barb[/b] - Thankee Barb ^.^ [b]Nepath[/b] - Ah, that's my fave bit too, I just loved drawing that and I wish I had one in my own house actually. The original in wood inlay. [b]Cybol[/b] - Thanks so much Cybol! My secret is is use a lot of gradients to fill in the backgrounds first up so it gives me a good idea of the overall colour theme for the page. [b]Juno[/b] - Howdy ho nighbor! Heh! Exactly, more mechs and these ones are for battle, not just scouting... They have names now too finally, hehehe, no longer SSV5, but "Tromper". I've been waiting ages to use that one! [b]J A F O[/b] - Indeedy, sexy legs maketh the Pinky ;) [b]EinKun[/b] - Ha! I DO worry though man because up until now I've been on schedule. T_T Thanks man, I love to use that style so much, I'm addicted to it! [b]Legend killer13[/b] - Thanks man! Glad you like it! Ha, it was designed to be the sexy striking panel that drew the ol' eyes in ^^ [b]Coinilius[/b] - Thankyou so much man, good too see you back at DD again ^^ [b]Mylar[/b] - Ty Man ^^ [b]Sarah[/b] - Thanks Sarah, AH, I try and try for that effect! [b]Glimmer[/b] - Thanks glim. Bgs MAKE a pic. That's one thing everyone should learn, it's so easy to make a good pick when you've got a stong BG. [b]Zac[/b] - Thankee Zac! Ah, life is grand! Busy but grand. Hahaha, welcome back to DD my man! [b]Polo[/b] - TY Polo! [b]Simonitro[/b] - That'd be quite true you know, She Could pilot one of the beasties [b]N Y Japlander[/b] - Aw, thanks man! I wish they didn't come late at all though. :( [b]Jilly foo[/b] - TY. heh, they're little bubies ^_^ Actually I was going to give them cool camo paint jobs, but I thought it'd be too complicated with that lighting scheme. [b]Magical[/b] - ^_^ [b]SpANG[/b] - Thankees man. Ah, hahaha, there's a lot of pressure to juet get up to that "usual" though, oh to compete with yourself! T_T [b]Bekefel[/b] - Hola beks. Aw, you're just saying that. You know you're the best really ^^ [b]Crazyduck[/b] - Heh, it's my fave bit too actually! [b]Alej[/b] - Ha! Well it's actually not [i]quite[/i] the same, hehehe, same colour though. But yeah, the cloche hat is a slighty different style and the dress lacks the frills of the other. You could actually probably pick up a screen like that at an antique sellers... maybe? Mmmm, I'd like one too! [b]Kyupol[/b] - TY man ^^ [b]JMT[/b] - Ah ha! [i]THAT's[/i] the look I like! Stylish! [b]Tea Green[/b] - Oooo, Tea, same ^^ Ah Stockinged legs do it for me. MM. [b]Oneminute[/b] - Ahhh, yah those damn bloody mechs are even harder than the tanks! What did I let myself in for? o_O [b]Silus[/b] - Ty man! ^^ [b]Darwin[/b] - Thanks! Ah, when I can't make a good BG with words at least I can with my BGs! Hahaha. They're a chore but it's worth it. [b]Seanh[/b] - Hah, the best bit eh? [b]ChrisJ[/b] - Thankee Chris! I just wish I had great bids to enjoy like the lovely naked Nurse! [b]Conned[/b] - Awww, yuppers, they make it worth while ^^ [b]Tantz[/b] - So true! She's getting back to her roots there. You need that in a comic I think! [b]Hero[/b] - Ha! The things you like the most eh? hahaha, Ah, They should have some feature time a bit later ;) [b]DAJB[/b] - Ahhh, that was such a last minute thing too! Glad you noticed it and I'm glad it worked so well. [b]TitanOne[/b] - Thanks man. I relish the chance to incorporate that style into my work! [b]Madscott[/b] - ^__^ [b]Nick[/b] - Hahaha, you're way too respectful! ^^ [b]KAM[/b] - TY Man ^_^ [b]Neil[/b] - Thankee man, I tried for that ^^ [b]Mecha[/b] - Hahahaha! Now that's an interesting way to describe it ^___^

it's attention to details like that dressing screen and the dress flung over the bed that out you above many artist. Beautiful page. And eh, the plot thickens...
Terminal at 6:58PM, Aug. 23, 2007
That first panel reminds me oh so much of [i]The Fifth Element.[/i] All this comic needs now is Bruce Wills.
MrGranger at 10:11AM, Aug. 23, 2007
Awesome as always.
iowabarbidoll at 1:17PM, Aug. 21, 2007

junoblairb at 7:33PM, Aug. 20, 2007
I haven't commented yet! This is blasphemy! That first panel... wow. I agree, it's very lifelike! And the attention to detail in the second panel is awesome. So they've made more of her mechs, eh? Hmm... where will that get us?
J A F O at 10:30AM, Aug. 20, 2007

Catching up, but it's looking great Oz! How is life?
simonitro at 11:46PM, Aug. 17, 2007
Well, Pinky does look hot with this outfit! Anyway, I believe Pinky will enjoy riding one of those big machines! She can handle them since she did with the smaller versions of these kinda machines! Go Mecha Pinky!

alejkhan at 2:40PM, Aug. 17, 2007
