This week’s writer’s challenge is Pinky TA. Go to the forums and write a short fanfic on Pinky TA. Those entries are pretty good, check them out! ^_^
Page description:
Part 5… That’s Cc there in her sexy swimming gear, her breathing mask in one hand and her pack in the other. It’s not a literal cover, it’s a story cover ^_^
Commentary:
The image is reversed deliberately, it’s a joke on the writing in the corner there: Reversing it makes it look Cyrillic (Russian/Slavic), (Pinky and Cc are from the Crimean empire, the real Crimea is part of Russia, located in the Ukraine). Cc is reversed there as well, as part of the joke; her nose stud and her gun holster has switched sides, (you can only barely see the top of the holster). This is a pose I’ve redrawn Cc in many times over the years… She looks very much like Angelina Jolie here, I don’t really like Angelina Jolie.
I made a joke about this cover in Pink Skin.
Writer's challenge!
Do the writer’s challenge It’s a fun way to practise your writing ^_^
(Next challenge is on Wednesday the 15th)
A note:
Go to my main site for the latest work (10th February, 2006). I’m uploading one page a day with commentary and explanations here.
Yo your style is very clean, I like it. I love everything about this from the powerful "moonlit" looking color scale to the violence build up, and characterization of these pages. Nice work.
Swimmers are bulky, especially female ones. I know that ^^ But Cc is bony and thin... She's not quite as skinny as she seems though, the full extent of her black gear is hard to see in the low light.
Heh Nick, that's a woman in the full Burkha/Abaya/chador get-up, with Hijab and Niqaab.
Ruka, you can read Cyrillic? Wow! All those strange letters for "ch" and stuff really confuse me, not to mention the ones that look like the Latin equivalent, but are totally different sounds.
I dunno Iago, you could be right, but I don't see it. Thanx for the analyses though. I’ll probably look at it again in 2 years time and go “Oh yeahhhhh… So that’s what she meant!”
^_^ You know, I'm not sure Cc's heart is in the right place... I think she needs a naughty nurse to give her a check-up and make sure!
Good God is she skinny! I really like the pose and design of the story cover, but I think she's a bit too skinny. I'm guessing she's pretty much in shape, for at least swimming as far as she did, and I don't believe she would be THAT skinny. As a swimmer myself, I know that swimming makes you skinnier, but you still get stomach and core muscles. Or she could just have really pointy hip bones.
I know why this picture bugs me! (I get really excited when I can pinpoint material like this)
I think it's the way her neck/base of her skull lines up with her hips. It seems her neck should be positioned a little more foreword- but I could be smoking crack. (Figuratively) It could be the general skinniness of her waist- or the way to fabric of her waist mimics that of her neck... I DUNNO! GAH! I give up. Going to bed.
