Truly great artists make the same character look, well, the same from panel to panel. I still struggle with this. Kimber Lee in the second panel does not look like the face I have in mind when depicting her. Oh well… Keep practicing. I really like the watercolor look right now.

So, could you plan out, stalk down, and kill someone in a dream, no matter what type of character they are (in real life or the dream)? I can't help but suspect that doing such, even in a dream, reflects your true nature. But then, I've killed lots of people in video games and don't feel the same… so… I just don't know.

Last Panel: Kimber Lee tries another jump. She's gonna keep at it until she gets it right :)

I never dreamed of killing anyone but last night I dreamt I was in an office that was being raided by the police and I had come across a stash of money hidden in the bottom of a filing cabinet while they were on the floor below and I didn't hesitate to grab a couple of bundles on my way out. My only fear was that they might be fake! lol

I agree Paul. Waking up from a hyper-realistic dream often leaves me feeling weird and disjointed for hours. It's like I can't be certain of reality for a while, because while dreaming, I would've sworn on my mother's good name (well...;) that I wasn't dreaming. How easy our sense of consciousness can be fooled is unnerving to me.

Sometimes, it's not helpful if the dream is realistic. I don't know about you but the most realistic ones are the ones that scare me most.

haha are you suspecting otherwise, Peipei? :)

Lol! Looks like she's having some bloodlust going on here xD. It's a dream after all, right? :0

@plymayer: Thanks. find myself agreeing with your bullet-point posts (for the most part :)

Batman has changed over the years. The original batman threw bad guys off of roofs. His non-killing conviction is a strength.

Video game folks don't count, they aren't real. Killing some one in a dream is different. They might not be real but they are to you.

I like the new style. She better watch out in her mood she could jump over the moon.

@awesome owl 98: lol you're right - I'll stop griping now :) @cres0055: Thanks a bunch! Yes, at heart, Kimber Lee is not a killer. Some say not being able to kill when necessary is a sign of weakness (Batman's one weakness is he can't kill Joker, even though the maniac is a mass-murderer...) Others think it a strength (Batman never wavers from his conviction that life is sacred, no matter the cost). We'll see what Kimber Lee does when (if?) the opportunity presents itself.

Great page. Yeah this is pretty significant dialogue considering before she had trouble killing him. I like the detail in the second panel, even if you think it isn't quite right the detail was pretty good.

Stick comics can have characters that look the same from panel to panel but that doesn't make their creaters truly great artists.
