Sonya Crimson and the Lineup of Doom

After a difficult day of cosplaying, there’s nothing like a double shot of caffeine right when you need it the most. Unfortunately, sometimes there are roadblocks in the way that force you to delay your gratification. But once you hold that aromatic brew in your hand, it makes it all worthwhile. Conan fans might recognize the inspiration for that first panel of Sonya fighting zombies. I unabashedly swiped it from one of Gerald Parel’s awesome covers from Dark Horses adaptation of Robert E. Howard’s story, The Hour of the Dragon. If you haven’t seen his work, you should go out and get yourself a copy…now!
Have a good week folks! See you next Monday! – Jim
<3 this… All that and 6 bucks a cup … Lill..la … Lei..la…Lay…la..Lee…la … your coffee is ready 😉
Oh hell..just go with it! 😉
They can get my name wrong… as long as they get my coffee right.
You can call me anything you’d like, just don’t call me late for dinner 😉
This is going to be me in about a month and a half, only I’m in for worse, as I’m mildly allergic to coffee and can’t drink the stuff.
That’s too bad, balthazar. I’d be pretty upset if I couldn’t enjoy a coffee everyday. I could do without it, but it’s one of those things I look forward to on a daily basis.
I’ve lived with it all my life, so I’m used to it. Besides, it has its advantages. It makes getting out of things real easy.
Have a set, kick yer boots off an’ stay a’while. Wish the local landscape at my neighborhood JavaBucks looked like panel #4. I’d spend a lot of time & money and be caffeinated to an unhealthy & dangerous degree.
Really love panel #2 in particular. Feels sort of like Peru. I could get behind an entire wallpaper along that theme. Would be very pleasant to look at all day long. I think the shadow-darkened shade of red to her hair & lips really sets off against the greenery for a fantastic contrast & compliment.
Thank very much, 3X! I like panel #1 better, but I can’t take credit for that one. Panel #2 isn’t quite how I envisioned it in my mind, but I like the way it turned out. I’ll post a high res version of panel 2 here on the website, if you’d like.
Yay! The artwork’s really sizzling in this strip.
Thanks, Khelatar!
I saw your “shameless plug” on LoB and came right over to check it out. Congratulations, Jim, “Oddly Aroused” looks like a winner.
Thanks very much White Carabao! Thank you for coming over to check out the site. It’s good to see you and I hope you stick around for awhile 🙂
Love the second panel.
Thank you, Elderac! Good to see you!
