NUMBER 19
I really enjoyed working on this page. I know there isn't anything new going on here, but it's back to life as usual for the girls and their demonic friends. For now...
FORESHADOWING/cough

DON'T YOU LIKE MY CLEVER BULLET HOLE ELLIPSIS?!

Yep.

NUMBER 18
JUST FIND HIM! >C

Kitties like to sit on paper, don'tcha know? People who like to talk about their cats also like to talk about how kitties sit on a tiny scrap of paper in the middle of the floor because it's so cute and weird. "HOW COME THEY SIT ON THE TINIEST SCRAP OF PAPER, AMIRITE? LOLOLOL"

Boss doesn't mess around. He gets a big stack of paper. I have no idea what his accent sounds like...could be Australian, could be UK, iunno yet.
Also, the Doc's scanner does, like, everything. See how the little dimensional particle waves look like snakes? Yeah. B3

Sorry the composition of this page is so weird. I couldn't figure out how to fit the dialogue on there and have it not cover up too much of the paper stack so you could still tell what it is. :| Hrm.
Also, sorry this page is like 24 hours late. My life is eating my comic right now.

NO. 17


NUMBER 17
Fishbones continues his little trip down into the lair, passes more robots and some long cats. Reports to the Boss.
Bosscat ain't pleased. Kitty growl.

The last panel has a kind of "sugary sweet Dr. Seuss" feel to it that I kind of like.
Sometimes I feel like I go a little overboard with the halftone gradients. Then I'm like "LOL NO SUCH THING :D"

I probably won't be doing a lot of close-ups of these cats except in the same way I've been doing them for Lox. Significant head/face features are important, like a brain bowler hat jar or sharp teeth or interesting eyeballs, but the cats just aren't built for detail.
Gods, they're barely built for more than two dimensions (Do you know how hard it was to figure out how these Powerpuff-legged cats walk? I got some good suggestions though *BAHAHA*)

NUMBER 16
GIANT ROBOT CATS <3
Inspired by Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, one of my favorite movies. I'm particularly proud of their labels (they are a group of robots known as the S.C.R.O.D. Squad - Super Clanky Robot Overdrive Drones.) *Icameupwiththatwhileinking*
The middle one's name is Johnny.

Also note the Kitty Radar. :3

FISHBONES! WHAT DOES THE SCANNER SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL?! >O

NUMBER 15
Introducing S.T.A.N.K.!
I think Cat Pliskin is my favorite. I'm a sucker for weapons experts. In truth, I don't know if I'm even allowed to call him "Pliskin" but it's a parody so... Not sure.
Fishbones is a close second - having been inspired by my own cat also (whose full name is "Dr." Archibald "Spaz Modine" Jekyll...)

The sketch was way awesome. For some reason the final page is less exciting. :C Needs more explosions?

NO. 14


NUMBER 14
Introducing Fishbones, AKA Dr. McRib! He's my favorite evil kitty because he looks like my real life kitty, on whom his creations are also based. Plus he wears little latex finger gloves as paw gloves. C:
Also introducing the S.T.A.N.K. headquarters, which is inspired by the Hall of Justice/Cincinnati Union Terminal but minus the reflecting-pool-thing (most cats hate water.)

Sidenote: Why do evil groups and villains always settle in the city? If they don't, they're in some ridiculous lair in a volcano or the deep ocean or outer space or a canyon.

I like my new trees technique and non-outlined speech bubs. I hesitated on writing Lox's first line because I was a little worried no one would understand what Lox was saying. Such is the nature of country accents.
P.S. I wonder what Z's taste like.

NUMBER 13
Astaroth really shows her stuff. Who knew trans-dimensional teleportation could seem so lazy? I guess Lox got what she wanted, anyway.

I wanted to see how it would go if I just used one of the final sketches as line art and colored it in. This is the result.
A fun experiment and a tiny bit of a time saver but I'm not thrilled with it, and it's not something I will do again unless I'm in a huge rush. It's energetic and nervous to be sure, but with some of the "fiddly bits" on characters (like how many angles Reat's hair has, for example) it gets confusing and hard to understand visually. As nice as my sketches are, they look sloppy in a digital format.

Might one day re-do.
