Re-meet Tonya Harding and the new series

Throughout this long break in the writings I've changed the stories around significantly and more importantly I've made a drastic change to the Sentinels. Well, actually the change is that there IS no more Sentinels, not yet anyway. I felt that the whole prison setup really barred off alotta possibilities in story telling and branching and that the bond between these characters would be temporary as they go their separate ways and most likely never talk to each other again. Evelyn wanted to be left alone, So did Nick, so did Chris, etc. So the whole idea of this superhero prison task force assembled under the nose of the government under the supervision of the Prison supervisor herself sounded way too ludicrous for me, personally. I want it to feel less forced and more open.

Tonya Harding has undergone quite the transformation background wise. She doesn't recall many years of her life outside her brief stint in the army as part of a meta-human task force to which she did some deeds she's not particularly proud of. But now, because her use has been exhausted she was discharged and throw back to the states and was pretty much forced to try and make it on her own. This proved to be a far greater tragedy as she suffered the shock of returning to a different, uncaring world and she ends up homeless.

Her new journey starts when she is discovered by a wealthy couple in New Jersey and is able to stay with them for a while. No desire to become some sort of hero or anti-hero, but the will to become something greater.

The transformation from a position of power to a completely powerless role is a drastic change. But it allows for the build up of her character. And she'll certainly have a more relate-able story this time around.

I've been Challenged!!

I never thought I would actually see the day someone wanted to go head to head with me in writing. My friend wants to race to create a Manga first. I've never done a manga nor Manga art but I've been training up my art and I say I'm up to the challenge. So in addition to Shuja, you'll also see pages from a Manga I'll be putting together. Mind, this is a massive leap for me so mistakes are bound to happen. For me though it's a perfect writing and drawing exercise, I can use it to keep my skills sharp. The series will be called Vain and it's about a cocky Vampire lord who oversteps his bounds a bit. I have no planning going into this and it's a play it by ear thing. I wanna see how I can perform in a week to week setting. Here are some scratch shots I sketched up in 10 mins or less The Protagonist, Vayne Intended First Cover Vayne has some ... weird... abilities

The Sentinels #7 - Broken Mirror

The crime rate is up. Only a miniscule five percent. I expected much more after Rufio's destruction of Santa Maya and subsequent release of dozens of dangerous criminals back on to the streets. The police got hand of the situation fairly quick with even helicopter support but some were crafty enough to use their knowledge of the land to slip capture. Police Commissioner Warren Bassett released a statement during a television interview claiming that he has his best men on the hunt for them as well doubling security patrols of the inner city. Bassett was a man of his word, he had a lid on the situation before it boiled over but for God knows how long. Among those who escaped Santa Maya was Brimstone, the stone man, the former big man on campus before Rufio came into power. He was known for being the immovable relic of a bygone age of civilized gangsters and true organized crime, a tried and true gangster. He was put away during a large bust over a decade ago (it took an entire squad ...
