Here's a new piece.




Hey Ladies and gents! I just wanted to post this new piece here before I disappear for a few days. I gotta work on my comic book project and I have a radio show this week. It's been a productive week of practice, now it's time do so the other stuff.
OK...
Background on this particular piece that I call...

"ONE PAGE MYSTERIES - Starring Nina Fragen, Mystery-Detektiv, in The Case Of The Face That Needed Punching."

It's all self-explanatory. The idea came to me this morning when, for some inexplicable reason, the name "Nina Fragen" popped into my head. Of course, my character is based somewhat on the German Punk music Icon, Nina Hagen. But unlike the diminutive musical legend, Nina Fragen - Mystery Detectiv (whose last name means 'questions' is German, hence the question mark she's sporting there) is a six foot, two inch tall private investigator who has a singular talent for punching Neo-Nazis in the their Gawd damned faces. One punch, and ,wham, she lays them out like a tasty charcuterie.

My Nina, who also hails from Berlin, as does Nina Hagen, has very little time for paying gig, because she's usually punching Neo-Nazis in their Gawd Damned FACES. But who knows, her next one page mystery may not be Neo-Nazi face punching adjacent. We'll see. Anyway, I just decided to do this one in pencils and inks and both are pictured below. As always, I appreciate any feedback and see y'all in a couple.

Nina definitely shows the zero tolerance she feels punching the punchable face! Your drawing of facial expressions is something I particularly like and it seems to be your own style. The mixture of thin lined ink with felt pen works very well. Your physical angles and portrayal of body movements Are well balanced and believable, albeit exaggerated and stylized which is in keeping with the genre.

I like Nina’s attitude! I think I may have her inside me somewhere because I identify a bit with her. She sure is serious about her mission in life!
