Crow: I love this page. So much. Not just because it's all the dangerous, smoky, noiry, sex that Miss Pixie has proven to be almost frighteningly adept at - seriously? Look at the smoke! Look at it! - but because Niko ends an argument by ashing his cigarette on Delilah's head. Because she is a shorty short shortypants. Haw haw!

Pix: AND WE STRIKE PLOT. Delilah's so creepy. Go love on the writer, she has mad talent.
And this was all very serious up until the last panel, where i decided to play silly buggers.

What no end?

Or did you finish it but print the rest or what? D8

I was greatly enjoying this. I mean Crows writing itself is awesome but combined with your art... there are no words to properly describe how amazing it is!

There is an end planned - we've posted up to page 10, but there's some more work being done on the larger parts of this story. Keep an eye on my journal for updates.

You know, given that the man's been living with Hunter all this time without cracking, she really should have seen that coming.

Ahahahha XD No seriously, you two are geniuses!

I love it when I'm reading a page and go all D: and then bang! the mood changes! That last panel is hilarious.

Round of applause! I'm taking all the hats I have off.

The genius is all Crow. My art gets better when i'm around her - I drew this page on her apartment floor, and the idea just slunk up on me.

....and suddenly, things got violent.


Ahem, in all seriousness-osity, HOLY YES. Great page of a great comic. Great script ('Layla' is giving me serious chills) and great art (fourth panel: ).

And I love love love how the two of you always have this perfect way to pack in the perfect kick of humor in the middle of it all. Seriously. "WHAT" face Delilah cracks me up.

Grade-A Job~

Delilah is absolutely chilling - the best written villainess I've ever worked with. I love it.
We can never stay serious for long.

The expression on Delilah's face is brilliant and loving the new shading style, it really does look more professional. I am filled with equal parts envy and admiration.

He is happy surprisingly often - but he REALLY enjoys the chance to pick on a self-assured, arrogant bitch. It's the inner queen in him, i'm sure.

So how does Niko transition from smoky noirbeast to marginally sublethal smarm in a matter of seconds?

Magic.

(Besides, if anything in the world says "magical" to me, it's that last panel. I want to take all those rubbishy words out of it and just hang it on my wall. Because it cracks me the hell up every single time.)
