I guess if you're fighting a giant snake woman you do whatever you have to!

Ah, one of Kost's commissioned works. The second best thing to round off a Sunday evening. ^^

As always, there's not much to say about your sense of detail and patience crafting these pieces. Particulary the water droplets, any other slightly less of a perfectionist would have merely used a photoshop brush to dot the water droplets around. (Guilty, lol) But not you, you have to do everything down to the tiniest detail in the sketching/inking stage. And that is why we admire you. FOREVER!

Well, it would fit Marcia's character.

I was originally thinking of making her my OC for the SECRET WARS. But I took Yenna because Marcia is "to normal" and would've looked bad between all these superpowered heroes.
( Good for Virtus )

Speedslide In reply to Branded-Curse [2010-03-02 15:14:50 +0000 UTC]

Too normal? Honestly, she's not the only one without superpowers... I think. XD
Good for Virtus? Why? XD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Branded-Curse In reply to Speedslide [2010-03-02 19:19:53 +0000 UTC]

Maybe not ... but she's all human! Not even super agile or something like Blaze. She would've looked like one of the weakest "heroes" of all, having only martial arts and some guns.
Not to mention she HATES dealing with superpowered beings. She's jealous

Why? Well, because Yenna will become attracted to him and who knows what will happen in the end
Marcia would've not! She's still bitter over the death of her boyfriend. Also a lil' brash - even arrogant sometimes

So you see? Yenna is the better choice here

Speedslide In reply to Branded-Curse [2010-03-03 13:11:03 +0000 UTC]

Whoa, whoa, hold your horses, I haven't considered Yenna a bad choice, EVER! XD

Well, if she hates superpowered beings, I think it's more or less better for HER that she wasn't called to Battleworld. I mean, you saw what Virtus did to the Hunter for what he considers "racial bigotry."

Branded-Curse In reply to Speedslide [2010-03-03 16:03:13 +0000 UTC]

Better for you not to enrage her
Nah, kidding! I just ment Yenna is a better choice to stay on one level with the others. She still isn't the best there is and should avoid some of the villains but Marcia wouldn't have stand any chance whatsoever!

Oh, not like that! Marcia would not badmouth the other as "freaks of nature" or something. She would just feel weak and useless, something she can't stand, go to a corner and grumble.

Speedslide In reply to Branded-Curse [2010-03-03 16:24:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, and now if only Chapter 9 could come so we can see how things develop for her. ^^

Virtus: And I think I'm beginning to like her...

No shit, dude. XD

Ah, that clears it up a little better. Virtus would actually feel sad for her then, and try to assure her that he does not look down on her for being "a normal human", but rather admire her for having honed her natural talents.

Branded-Curse In reply to Speedslide [2010-03-03 16:39:55 +0000 UTC]

and yours truly are already working on a lil' scenario as you've might seen by now

Aella: "Then take her! She needs it bad!"
Yenna:

So very nice of him! But I'm afraid she would not be very grateful. More like rolling her eyes and saying "Yeah sure! Whatever!" She's quite a loner. Even tho she and Yenna are partners, they're far away from being friends. Yenna trusts her but vise versa not so much. Marcia can't get it out of her head that Yenna left her flat on her back when she was a pirat. The only thing Marcia cares about is chasing Rufus and eliminate him one day. There's a scenario ( I still need to draw it tho ) where she even collides with Blaze over him! It's at the end of a story I talked about with *thedude255 in which Rufus joins forces with Blaze to defeat the Shadow Ghoul and almost sacrifices himself to do so. After that Marcia is trying to pick up the peaces and send him to hell. Blaze steps in because he saved many lifes this day ( not because she's attracted to him in any way or something ). However, that's what Marcia thinks. She even made herself the promise to shoot everyone Rufus cares about. She's so blinded by her own pain and hate that she basically is her own worst enemy

Speedslide In reply to Branded-Curse [2010-03-03 18:03:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I saw it. Can't wait to see what you two make of it. Still can't wait for next chapter to start for real though. XD

Virtus: *holds Yenna from leaping at Aella* Please, she's not worth it.

He's not that fond of cynics either, so good riddance to her. XD

That's a rather interesting story, even if I don't know what grudge she holds against Rufus.
If she plans to shoot everyone just cause they're Rufus friends, then she's not a hero. That's a villain. So good that she wasn't picked, for Blaze's sake. ^^

Branded-Curse In reply to Speedslide [2010-03-03 18:38:28 +0000 UTC]

Me neither

Aella: "Party Pooper!"
Yenna: "You're right! I should do it like evolution: Trying to ignore her!"

It's in their references.
To put it short for ya:
They once were best friends. Partners in arms on the battlefield. Their adviser was a scientist that Marcia fell in love with, Dr. Benin Ike. But while she became lucky Rufus fought a inner struggle with the spirit of the monster who's poison turned him into a Shadow Stalker. Marcia didn't realised it until it was to late. One day he lost this fight and snapped, killing all the other Shadow Stalkers and scientist - also Benin Ike. Marcia was send after him to eliminate him. She's torn apart inside from the pain that came with the loss. But as well deep down feeling guilty for not realising her friend needed help. However, she tries to avoid those feelings.
Since Rufus usually cares about nobody, there IS nobody to shoot for her. However, his human side cares about Blaze because she reminds him of his wife. Even tho he doesn't even remember he was married. It's just a feeling he can't explain. Blaze however once saved Marcia from Rufus, so she's safe from her grudge.
It's a lil' bit of a tricky story.

If this already makes him stiff I wonder what would have happened if he'd got what she was up to

I didn't mean that kind of stiff, you pervert. XD I meant more that he was stiff from surprise. XD

Yeah, let's hope we can work something of that into Chapter 9. ^^

By jove! And she was just ment to be a queenpin of crime pulling the strings from the dark. Someone so evil to justify Rufus teaming with Blaze instead of fighting her on one or two occasions.
She never was planned to become my most famous and beloved character!
But I get a feeling she is
