Wow... Mrs. Dr. P brandishing a giant syringe is oddly arousing...

I've enjoyed your artwork so far. It's quite well done.
I just find that last shot of Kim's and Grim's fight too be a little off. It seems like a really awkward pose that Kim is in there while she's punching Grim. And the angle of the punch seems really off. It looks beautiful, technique wise, just work a bit on the staging.

Hmm - you might be fooled by slight foreshortening and perspective. Kim is punching with her right hand, and there's a lot of follow-through to convey the strength she put into it. Her upper torso is mostly rotated with the left shoulder backwards behind her 'neck' so to speak, and her left arm cocked and ready to throw another punch - so the left elbow 'shows' behind her hair. It may seem awkward since it seems like the left and right arms are 'connected' by the colors of her suit when there's actually still the back and shoulders between them. It's just the way she's twisted, the back and shoulders aren't fully visible. I used one of those little wooden puppets for the poses, so they SHOULD have been accurate. Anyone else feel that way? I take pride in being as accurate as I can and if it doesn't seem 'real', then it's back to the drawing board....

With the shading and the use of lines.. Your reminding me more of Aeon Flux than Kim Possible.. You might wanna make the art a tad.. less dramatic?

But... with her right leg up like that, I think she'd be dangerously off balance. And, the way that the punch is connecting with Grim is what seems the most awkward about it. I don't know that that would be the most effective way to hit someone...

Yeah - conveying movement in a still drawing isn't easy. Especially when you're trying to showcase both characters as much as possible. In reality, Grimm would be facing much more forward and you'd only be able to see his back, and you probably would'nt be able to see Kim's fist at all as it would be blocked by the view of Grimm's head. In that instance, I did sacrifice 'realism' for 'drama'.
Aeon Flux... there's a name I haven't heard in a while. They still showing that?

Did you post this on fanfiction . net, because there's an exact copy of this story up, and I want to make sure you're not being copied.

In that instance, I did sacrifice 'realism' for 'drama'. I understand. But, I think you may be able to get that effect with Kim delivering a powerful left hook. Kim would still be positioned similarly, just sides switched. And you could still get that shot of Grim's face with the impact. Just my thought.

Yeah - don't worry. Though I'd consider it a form of flattery if people on fanfiction started writing stuff based on some of my characters. It's not like I've got legal rights to team Probable, as they were inspired by KP, which is copyrighted by Disney.... The only thing I can lay claim to is I made them up and drew them first Fanfiction doesn't allow pictures though, so I make alerts for the illustrated versions here.... Slyrr

Whose Kung-fu will prove best? home.comcast.net/~gregfisk/zorpox7.htmKim has to face off against Ron's Mystical Monkey Power for the first time. At least he didn't use a spoon.... And Ron unleashes another evil invention - the Mega-bots! Things come full circle with the original teaser postors for the story - all the elements are in place for the final battle! Kim can do anything - but can she defeat Ron? Slyrr

It looks bleak for Kim, but I see a ray of hope for her... and it sounds like "Rappin'".

Wow. Just wow.
Being new here and all that, I might as well reveal at once I'm not a big fan of fanfics - I usually read just a few paragraphs and then lose interest.
This one kept me reading. The combination of KA artwork and the way the text lodged itself in my head as images kept me reading. It put my imagination into high-gear. I loved it!
This fan-fic is great, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter!
edit; Forgot to say, fourth picture in third chapter is by far my favourite!

slyrr, your art is AMAZING All the action poses, the lighting...the shading! Can I ask what your technique is? Do you use a tablet, or sketch and scan, or what programs? I have yet to finish reading the chapters (which by the way are also amazing ...and everytime I see your work it gets me more and more excited!

Thanks for the kind words - it's compliments that fuel fanfictions I think. It may be a vanity thing, but as long as it inspires quality. Your guyses artwork is certainly nothing to sneeze at, and it's partly that which fuels my efforts. If you feel motivated, drop by the fanfiction.net version and leave a review. The more reviews a story gets, the more the author feels like he's accomplished something. You don't need to register to leave a review. www.fanfiction.net/s/3314310/7/My technique is basically this: I'll pencil out a (very) rough sketch to get the action/pose/perspective the way I like it. (This can take some time and a lot of retooling) Then I'll scan it in with my scanner and pull it into photoshop and use the sketch as the foundation. I have a small wacom tablet which suits my needs. I'll have one layer for the 100% black final lines, and another 50% layer for 'guides', which I use to flesh out the sketch or make alterations if it isn't going the way I like. Once I have a final layer in black, I duplicate it and use the fill tool for colorization. Then another mostly transparent layer for the shading, then another for highlights. If the background needs different shading I'll make additional layers for that....
