"And that's our super-hot sauce. You probably don't want to try more than a drop of that, though."
"Pff. Don't tell me what I can and can't d--"
"...Jolene, we're gonna need the garden hose again."

wow.. intense

She's a sweetheart? Wow how about that.

aww yes!

Nice work mate, gotta be said ^^

*Barry lights cigarette.* " Thanks."

I like it! Gives her kinda a Ghost Ridery kinda feel.

That's one SERIOUS case of heartburn... XD

Neat to know she's a sweetheart, too. It makes her feel a lot more approachable, as soon as one can look past the ability to spontaneously combust.

Dave's Ultimate Insanity probably doesn't even faze her, I bet.. :)

I'd make a joke about a hot vixen, but I will restrain myself.

And great work on this picture! She looks truly demonic.

cool! is there a version in big+colour? (pster/print to buy )

FLAME ON!

Lovin' it. Just awesome.

"Miss? Oh, Miss! Didn't you read the damn signs! This is the Non-smoking section! I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to self-immolate somewhere else!"

Seriously, just a beautiful and powerful piece, man.

very slick, nice effects :)

If she has sex, do her fires go supernocva?

I dunno. She's 14 or 15, so there's not gonna be any sex going on with her for awhile (besides, she's not that kinda girl!)

Oh, those pages where all the carnage is occuring were just jokes. That was why I drew her acting completely out-of-character. Then again, since it's been over 10 years since the issue of Caterwaul Inc. came out that actually shows her using her abilities (and the books are quite hard to find), it's understandable folks wouldn't know she was acting oddly.

Actually, I've been working on the comic "Caterwaul", and hope to have it out around Spring of 2010. The character above (or any of the other "super" characters) won't actually appear until the second story.

I'm sure as I get colored images completed of the characters, I'll post them here and on the Yahoo group.

The first story covers what is essentially the Caterwaul team's 15th or 16th mission. They are hired by the police to go after a fugitive who is off-planet, and they have to bring the guy back in mostly one piece to stand trial. But there are some people on the inside of the legal system working for this guy, so it's a nasty tangled web the team will have to work through.

Caterwaul is a group of bounty hunters-for-hire. The kids from the whole "Lot Six" storyline are technically Caterwaul's target after getting hired by a suspicious government agency, and the group finds out the kids are the ones who need saving.

Each story arc will run about 3 issues. They will be drawn in the same style as the "Penance is about to open a can of ass-kick" picture.

Yeah, the standard team has no super-powers of any sort. And even the folks from Lot Six have major drawbacks to their abilities. I never liked the old "super-powered character is unstoppable" kinda treatment that you see in so many comics nowadays. And I also redesigned the Lot Six characters so their "powered" forms looked rather grotesque.

The first story arc is a lot of action, with some science fiction thrown in. The second arc has action, sci-fi, and super-powered stuff going on. The third story arc has a LOT of science fiction (alternate realities, alien critters, ancient "gods"). The fourth story arc has action, but there's actually a lot of paranormal and horror stuff going on in that story.

I'm trying to include elements from various genres into each story, though some may focus on certain aspects more than others.

so what is she like normally

Not extra-crispy? Actually, I thought I had posted a sketch of her up here, but apparently I did not. If I can dig one up, I'll post it here (she's a red fox).

That'd be nice but I meant more in personality, where does she work, what are her personality traits, likes and dislikes etc

Ah, okay. Well, she's still a high school kid. Either 14 or 15, I can't remember which right off the top of my head. Her dad is Scottish and her mom is American. Her dad is a bit of an asshole, though. Seems once he found out about her abilities he had some serious issues with it (her mom was the one involved in the original study years earlier).

Personality-wise, she's gentle and unassuming. Doesn't really want this unusual ability and would probably trade it in a heartbeat for some normalcy. Tends to be quiet and reserved and maybe a bit shy. Not sure if that is due to her upbringing or environment, though.

Likes a lot of the same crap most teens like: music, rollerskating, reading, hanging out with a few close friends, stuff like that. Smart but not geeky.
