I haven't done much art for a bit. But that's because I've been busy writing another story and doing prelim sketches. It's still a while from being ready, but as with "The Return of Zorpox", I've done a teaser poster..... "Back To Kwitcherbeliakin" is meant to answer a question I keep getting about Team Probable - what power does Rhonda Fatigable have to match Ron's Mystical Monkey Power? In the story, Rhonda goes back to her old camp, the place where she spent the worst summer of her life, as part of a mission and finds the risks of being a mercenary catching up with her. This story will be risky since Kim and Ron will only be in one scene, and then only briefly. Beyond that, it focuses on Rhonda and Grimm. I won't be able to sponge off the KP community's adoration of Kim and Ron to make the story interesting, instead I'll have to rely on such skill and characterization as I can muster. I'll be walking on eggshells until I see how the KP forums and fanfiction.net react to chapter1. In the meatime, at least enjoy the artwork. Slyrr

Sounds pretty cool. Looking forward to it. I think you can count on people who are fans of your other fics, and like your characters.
Also, the picture is really cool. I love the effect with the ghost-like Native American people. Looks like Rhonda's power will be related to that somehow, I'm guessing.

Hey, give that back! If he lacks his imagination, then the story will never be written, and we'll just be left with two anti-heroes, a ferret, and a bunch of native american ghosts. And a bear, aparently.

Actually he is - but he's also going to be the antagonist of the story Oh, and Rueful is a weasel - not a ferret - though in terms of body structure, weasels and ferrets both look and are drawn pretty similar.....

It's probably something shamanistic/spirit channeling sort of thing. If you've ever read Shaman King, you've seen several levels of power this sort of thing can reach. At it's most basic, she could see and talk to spirits, more advanced would let her temperarily merge with a spirit and let it use it's skills through her body, and the highest level of power would allow her to grant a spirit physical presence in the living world. What's more, if she has no ability to control the spirits she's working with, it would not only help keep her power as off and on as Ron's, it would also allow the situation where swapping inclinations amp's her power by a huge margin

Also thinking of Ron and Kim, will there be a scene where Kim and Grim are fighting, then look over and see Ron and Rhonda sitting down swaping 'It was the worst summer of my life" stories?

That'll be in the 'All Things Probable 3' story which will take place AFTER this one... And they kinda did already in "All Things Probable".... 'This is freaking me out!' said Ron, 'Next she'll be saying she spent one horrible childhood summer at camp!' 'What?' Rhonda said, her face blanching. 'Who... who told you that?' Beside her, Grimm sighed and shook his head. Ron's mouth fell open. 'Was it... Camp Wannaweep?' 'No! Kamp Kwitcherbeliakin.' said Rhonda, her face falling. Grimm covered his face with a hand. 'Oh man,' he said, 'do not get her started on Kamp Kwitcherbeliakin....' 'Worst summer of my life!' Rhonda wailed, a faraway look in her eyes. 'And yet you won't stop talking about it....' Grimm muttered.

True indeed - from the glory that is 'wikipedia'.....
Originally, the name "weasel" was applied to one species of the genus, the European form of the Least Weasel (Mustela nivalis) ... In technical discourse, however, as in American usage, the term "weasel" can refer to any member of the genus, or to the genus as a whole. Of the 16 extant species currently classified in the genus Mustela, 10 have "weasel" in their common name. Among those that do not are the stoat, the two species of mink, and the polecats or ferrets....
