Description BotSA = "Battle of the Space Amazons!"

Here's a peek at some of the preliminary and design art I did in preparation for drawing BotSA. I envisioned a Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon-style leotard/jumpsuit for the space travelers, and as you can see the final design stayed pretty close to this idea (simplified of course). For some reason I chose not to illustrate an actual sequence from the comic (it may be that I hadn't received the script yet, just a brief description of the possible story elements), and just drew a heroic blonde with a blaster, in the battle of her life! (And no, that's not intended to be one of the characters from BotSA.)

You might also note that this idea - a heroine defeating a giant robot only to hear another one approaching - was recycled in this pic. Hey, when you've only had five good ideas in your life, you gotta get as much mileage out of them as possible!

(And yes, I started BotSA in 2002 and only finished it last November. This is why I don't want to take commissions for multi-page comics stories anymore.)

Quite fascinating!
I'd wish to suggest you to read a short tale I wrote some years ago featuring a space girl: [link]

Call me vengeful, but when I read Battle of the Space Amazons, I don't think the bad amazon was punished enough. I would've liked to see her reach that pillar of power, have her wounds heal, and rejoice at becoming twice as big and strong as before - only to discover she was too big to move!

Meantime, let's see some more of the good amazon. Please?

Great work!

Will we ever be fortunate enough to see the return of Starburst?
