No. We have no idea what the symbols on Carus’ forehead mean.
Missa really likes to keep her dresses clean.
Ah the Draconis. Cross like’s drawing dragons, though technically this one SHOULD be an ‘energy dragon.’
This was the first time I looked at a finished piece and thought ‘wow that looks actually kinda pretty.’ ~ Cross
Had no idea how to do a Nebula, and wanted to throttle Kris for writing it, but it came out pretty good. Also the glow in the pool, a photoshop addition. ~ Cross
Really started to actually enjoy coloring nebula’s here. ~ Cross
Maris’ first appearance, was really fun to do. Though the last panel is still my favorite of the scene. ~ Cross
There was actually more body to Jake at the bottom. But it got cropped out because it looked lame. ~ Cross
FIGHT! FIGHT! All those spells swirling around Missa? Photoshop additions. The only part of her powers done by hand and paint are the red swirls. ~ Cross
Apparently, according to Kris I nailed the mood/feel this conversation was supposed to have. ~ Cross
Nate there on the bottom. Making fun of the helmet. Priceless.
Nope, still no idea exactly what they got hurt or how during the fight. ~Cross I know. ~K
Another instance of me finally liking backgrounds. ~ Cross

Probably the one Royalty strip that gave me the most problems. It never felt like it gelled to me while I was making it. Fortunately in the end it somehow worked. ~ Cross
Really really enjoyed this background. Actually switched solely to watercolors here. ~ Cross

Was happy with the Presidents office when it was in the pencil phase then quickly began to dislike it as I painted it. Came out too pasty for my tastes, but it still works ~Cross

Originally this was supposed to be part of the previous strip. But since I had another project to do alongside it, we split it to allow me more time. ~Cross

Actually super happy about how that beam being fired at Nate came out. And that running from one hole through the hall into another room too. ~Cross

had a lot of fun with this one, especially when it came to body language. And that jaw drop. SO proud of that. Actually squeezed in another panel there just to prolong it. ~Cross
When I draw a strip I usually easily find a section I’ll want to take a picture of for a sneak peek. This one proved hard because I kept landing on images I would want to share but couldn’t without[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Man SO much stuff in this one. I always get apprehensive when it comes to special effects and the ability to execute them. But this strip actually pleasantly surprised me. Especially with the red energy snake on Missa, and the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
