Far Out There

Not gonna lie, I ALMOST went ahead and posted the line art for this a few hours ago, just so I could go back to bed for a bit. The only reason I didn’t was, well, the whole “blinding explosion of pyro” thing really only works when the color’s all in place. But yeah, I didn’t even START penciling this page until, like, 4am. Wheee.

So, I’d LIKE to give credit where credit is due on this page… but I honestly don’t remember to whom that would be. The joke here is sort of an exagerated version of a bit I heard somebody do about how sorry he felt for Brett Hart having such a straighforward persona at a time when WWF was so full of extra wacky career gimmicks (So, what’s your character? “I’m a crazed barber who cuts the hair of anyone I beat!” What about you? “I’m an undead gravedigging zombie who’s controlled by a magic urn.” And you? “I’m a facepaint-wearing barbarian who draws his power from the spirits of warriors across history!” And what’s your character, Brett? “I’M THE BEST WRESTLER.”) But, for the life of me, I can’t remember where I heard it! I dunno… let’s just say it’s actually a reference to John Johnson from Southpaw Regional Wrestling. Or, you know, the fact that it’s what Skye would do in this situation anyway. Some people just aren’t naturally disposed to making a big deal about themselves, ya know?

Oh, and I finally got a fresh Voting Incentive finished! Go me!
