Back-alley heroines

Two superheroines decide to have it out in a back alley battle. One suddenly realizes the other has a bit more in mind than a fight.

This was drawn in 2003 and circulated on Yahoo! groups shortly after.

At this point, I was trying to get more acclimated to a 'painterly' approach to my art. I had already lost the pen and ink technique (and by 'lost', I mean found myself suddenly unable to recreate it), and I was doing a bunch of one-panel illustrations to try to work out some issues in my then-new artistic direction.

I was still working at 800 by 600 at this point; eventually I realized the direction I was going would require much larger canvas sizes.

This one is very rough and sketchy, and I think it's actually the narration that 'sells' it.

The work I was doing at this point is not, in my opinion, as good as what I had been doing ten years earlier.

    I think the art sells itselfm but the first sentence of the narration really spices it up.
