I didn't draw the whole thing - it was an art challenge project I ran which lots of others contributed to. If you look in my Gallery you'll see the other bits I did, and I collected all the pages in a series of journals, although it was so long ago I think a few of the artists have since deactivated their accounts so there are a few gaps.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the recent s - very much appreciated!

Yeah - well spotted! If you come back you'll have to draw him maskless at the start!

OooOOOoo. Glowy. Of course Slaughter Grey is at the controls of the probe machine, lol. That jerk. Nice touch with Jamaican Spider's mask.

It wasn't really intended as a probe machine - but it ended up that way! The idea to put the brain on the screen had to be done as soon as it occurred to me! Thanks for the !

at last, alien probing that doesn't involve stucking something in the butt. (humans have to wonder why do little green men find our assholes so damn interesting? )

LOL! Who can say? To be fair though, we can't actually see what's going on behind her - having fought Slaughter Gray in AFL II I wouldn't put anything past him...

Enough gasping, onto the real challenge!
As several others probably have mentioned, the detail in this is exquisite.
And my hyper-sensitive vision almost missed that Jamaican Spider mask trophy! Good work on incorporating some plot devices into the intro for Chapter 3!
Out of curioisty... Did you paste that brain diagram onto Slaughter Gray's monitor, or...?

Thanks for the kind words on this page! As ever, you've spotted lots of the little details which some of the others might not have spotted! Steppenwolf brought back the Spider's mask to Zerkov at the end of Chapter Two - and I thought he seemed like the sort of person to want trophies! Maybe that's what they have in mind for Redd's brain too! You're definitely the first to spot that! It's a photograph lifted from a quick google search and then inverted and coloured and spun around a bit - I can't take the credit for drawing it - but I thought it was a nice touch!
Thanks for the !

Another brain in a jar... YEWCH!... Well, who knows? XD After all, I'm sure Beyonder can fix that later.
And a nice touch indeed. That's artistic freedom for you. XD

Loving the detail in tis one mate. Great lighting, and Zerkov looks positively evil here.

I really like this page. It's not exactly her finest hour, but I absolutely love drawing Redd Rocket and the red and green works so well here I think. Thanks for posting!

Yeah, that was one of those happy photoshop moments - I hadn't planned that when I drew the pic but the red and green looked so good together.

Jamibug [2009-04-09 22:10:08 +0000 UTC]
Darn! I was wondering if they'd take her belt.
Nice lighting and use of complimentary colors and neutrals.
Looks like Redd's in trouble. I wonder how the rest of the hostages are fairing... and what has happened to the spider? The plot thickens.

I don't know about her belt, but her Force Field generator and Rocketpack are at the technological curiosity of The Silver Scarab

Kostmeyer In reply to Jamibug [2009-04-09 22:47:00 +0000 UTC]
LOL - as has already been noticed, the villains have stripped the heroes of anything which makes them more difficult to draw!
As for the Spider - it looked like he was killed by Steppenwolf in the previous chapter - at least, that's what Steppe claimed when he handed over the bloodstained mask to Zerkov...

Jamibug In reply to Kostmeyer [2009-04-10 10:32:19 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I did see that but I didn't take that as a definite death. We'll see. This isn't my first comic story y'know

Kostmeyer In reply to Jamibug [2009-04-10 10:35:16 +0000 UTC]
LOL! What? A comic book death that wasn't permanent? Sounds hard to believe! In all seriousness of course, Omer pulled out, so we came up with a way of writing his character out of the story but leaving an element of mystery in case he wants to come back.

Jamibug In reply to Kostmeyer [2009-04-10 11:31:14 +0000 UTC]
Oh okay... I kinda figured as much. If he is actually dead I think that's kinda cool as far as showing how ruthless these villains are.

Kostmeyer In reply to Jamibug [2009-04-10 11:38:22 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I wanted to make sure that the character was definitely 'written out' as opposed to just vanishing - so if he does leave it serves the story in some way. That's what is important here after all - the story - not winning or losing. Of course if he doesn't come back we'll find some way of making sure the Spider is returned to his rightful place and time at the end of the war!

It's her EM watch forcefield I think he'd be more interested in. I wonder if it's compatible with his own EM tech?

That's just the sort of thing you can look into in this chapter! Either personal upgrades for his suit, or something else the villains can use? Who knows?
