Shandora Ward- Why Pittsburgh has no cheerleaders.

Well, was talking to a local artist about CoH and thoughts on a "pittsburgh" fan get-together and he came up with an idea that combined City of Heroes (well, Shandora Ward, my spokesheroine for the Comic guide(s)) and Pittsburgh. He sketched it out and it became my first piece ever to commission...

The original was too (*&()*& large for any scanner I had. I spliced it together, but you can see the shadowing caused by it all. Hopefully, I can clean it up more in the future.

That is sweet! Tell your friend to keep doing what ever it is he's doing.

One thing I got a kick out of was seeing how someone else "saw" shandora.

She's made an appearance in all four of my screenshot comics- been the focus of three of them. There's a personality I "see" there but everyone's going to have his or her own interpretation.

Vinson honed in on the "cheerleader" from my I11 teaser. Another guy at the comic shop (not an artist) suggested an "annoyed pin-up girl" of her in the I10 guide's "bunny suit."

It's made me curious as to how others would portray her, given no guidance from me save the comic stories as reference... a project for a later day, perhaps.

Y'know you can buy an A3 size scanner (11x17) for around 150 bucks on ebay. Requires some fiddling with the program to get b/w scans to not be very chunky, but works pretty well if you're gonna go in and clean up in another program anyway.
