I really like your new character, CJ. At first, I was afraid that it was just a mechanical Banshee; but I see now that, though vaguely similar, it's a whole new character and direction. I'm lovin' it.

I was really worried that everyone would compare Banshee to Bellatrix. Seriously -- they both have wings, their names begin with 'B', and they're both victims of scientific experimentation. Having said that, I'd like to think they're pretty different in personality. Bellatrix has a very masculine personality, something like Ridley from Alien (which I still haven't seen, I just know the writers made a very tough-as-nails character and then casted a woman as an afterthought) or Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell (who not only has a masculine personality, but is masculine).

The SM girl in me always likes seeing my characters get beat up (poor Brianna and Lykopis were constantly getting bruised), probably because I always like seeing the character's weakness. But the weakness has always been physical. I'm doing something a little different with Bellatrix. She's stronger than Lykopis, and a lot hardier than Brianna. Her faults aren't physical (unless you count her battery power). I'd like to think her personality is her weakness instead. She's not a coward -- but she doesn't stick her neck out for anyone either. I'm still not sure how I want to approach this, though.

I'm actually almost done with a two page spread of Bellatrix. It's a pretty little couple of comic pages -- my first attempt, so don't laugh when I post it here. If you value your life.

And, as always, I love you my little sugar bosoms. (Don't worry, Pro. You're still my little butter nipples. *tee hee*)
