Grrl Power

September 17th, 2018 | by DaveB

Yeah, I know, it’s only a 3 panel comic, but I hadn’t planned on doing two doubles in a row. I will say page 666 was one of my favorite in a while, but that’s the sort of stuff I always wanted the comic to focus on. But you know, fights happen in superhero comics. I didn’t really want to show the entire blow by blow fight, and it really was death by a thousand cuts. Sydney’s cutting beam is super powerful, but doesn’t have the same collateral effect as Maxima’s big booms. That thing is so big she had to whittle it down, and that would have been boring to watch.

You know how in games like God of War, they pit you against a miniboss like a minotaur, and then as soon as you beat it, they immediately pit you against two more? That’s basically what Sydney’s got going on here. Beating the first one feels epic cause it’s the hardest thing you’ve fought so far, but as soon as the two others show up, you’re like “You’ve got to be kidding me” but after a moment you realize it’s not really that big a deal because you’ve got them figured out. Now you have to apply it with the twist of dealing with two at once. Sydney must be playing on hard mode, because she’s jumped from 1 to 3. Don’t worry though, this leg of the battle will be much shorter than the first.

Really the only question is why the ship waited for Sydney to wreck the first one before sending backup. The answer is simple. That first guy was a real jerk. He eats everyone’s lunch from the fridge, even has the balls to complain when they don’t bring food he likes. He plays his music in his (gigantic) cubicle without headphones, invites himself to the after work karaoke sessions. Stuff like that.

Everyone on the alien screw ship was technically rooting for him, simply as a matter of racial solidarity or whatever, but… really they were hoping he’d at least be limping back with a slightly subdued attitude. When Sydney actually took him out they were like, “Oh, shit! Uh… I guess, you three, suit up!”

Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. $1 and up, but feel free to contribute as much as you like.

July Vote Incentive

July 2nd, 2018 | by DaveB

Ok, first off, apologies for letting the last one linger for three months. I’ve had this picture ready for a bit, but I felt a little guilty about posting it because it’s not Grrl Power related. It’s another cover mockup where I can practice both my painting and layout skills. But it’s the only other piece of art I’ve worked on besides the comic, and I draw Sydney, Max, Dabbler, and crew every day, so it’s fun to do some other stuff as well. I could practice composition with any of them, they each do present some challenges when it comes to painting. Sydney has such a distorted anime face that it’s hard to practice good facial anatomy, which is something I feel I’m quite weak with after several decades of drawing in an anime style. Maxima has her own challenges. I’ve never felt like I’ve drawn her as shiny as I imagine her, and even if I ignore that stuff, it’s not like I can practice flesh tones on her. Her skin doesn’t do subsurface scattering after all. Dabbler isn’t so hard to paint, but again, I feel like I should get better with human flesh tones before I stray into other parts of the rainbow. Of course I could paint Anvil or Harem or Jabberwokky or Varia or a dozen other characters, and eventually I will, but at the moment I’m having fun with these cover mockups, and I think that this one is a pretty good improvement over the previous one, and that’s what I’m really going for. There’s plenty more detail work I could continue to do on this piece, but I learned some stuff from working on it, and that’s the goal.

Book Recommendation: Star Justice

February 4th, 2018 | by DaveB

I decided to make a stand-alone post about this so people can comment on it if they get around to reading it. Please use the spoiler tag for anything remotely spoilery. Just wrap your comment with [spoiler]Your comment[/spoiler]

Star Justice (9 Book Series) by Michael-Scott Earle I’ve found a new book series I’m enjoying immensely. Star Justice. The short version is; Space Marine gets experimented on and essentially turned into a were-tiger. Hilarity ensues. Actually mostly violence… and technically it’s a harem setup, in the sense that the main character is male and nearly every other significant character he meets is female, many of whom join him on his adventures, and most of whom express sexual interest in him to some degree. Well, okay, that doesn’t sound like I should be saying “technically” at all. That’s flat out a harem setup, but I feel like there should be some sort of asterisk on “harem” because the female characters are significant and important parts of the story, not just notches on his bedpost – and they’re all likeable (IMO) either straight away or after some initial antagonism is resolved. The sex scenes are terse and non-graphic which is really my preference in novels. I like it when characters I like hook up, but I don’t really need the gory details.

I won’t spoil anything, but one night I went to bed planning on reading a few chapters, and I got to a point where there is a rather significant turn of events, and I wound up finishing the book and reading like 30% of the next one before I had to quit because it was 5 in the morning. :P

Anyway, I’ve enjoyed it a lot, maybe you will too.

April Vote Incentive

April 3rd, 2017 | by DaveB

The April vote incentive is posted. It’s obviously a work in progress. It was going to be the Valentines Day picture, with the dirty version showing select ladies in between bar choices, but as I was draw it, it didn’t make sense that they’d be posting like that without bras on. Not that many of you would have minded I’m sure.

The story behind this post is the ladies visit Jeanette’s Bras in… Hollywood I believe. Jenette’s Bras being run by Jenette Goldstein, the actress that played Vasquez in Aliens (as well as John Connor’s step mom in Terminator 2 and other rolls.) Apparently she’s a fairly chesty woman, which wasn’t super obvious in Aliens cause she was in the best shape of her life in that film. Anyway, she’d gone for a long time in her life without ever properly being fitted for one, and when she finally did get someone who knew what they were doing, she was like “Oh! bras don’t suck!” And she opened a bra shop for well endowed ladies.

I thought it would be a fun PR thing if the team stopped by. Obviously Jenette knows about were-jaguars and all that. She’s savvy. And since she knew the whole team was coming (the female portion anyway) she stocked up on some sub-D sizes as well.
