So, somewhere between watching "Das Boot" and "Star Trek: The Original Series," I've created a new action comic character. She's tall, spry, and pear-shaped. She's also an incredible pilot. I'm talking Sky Captain meets Han Solo meets Baloo (from Tailspin) "incredible." Above are some of my doodles of her face and costume.
Haha! Yes, Kelly, she's as badass as those Star Trek ladies, only fully-dressed. But don't worry... I'm imagining some of her adventures will involve nudity. Growl!
And thanks, Senor Groff. Recently, my friend Mike Huddleston was wondering what my stuff would look like inked differently, so I've been employing a new approach here and there. I think that's where some of the European influence is coming in.

Just like those Star Trek chicks, she is sexy and dangerous looking. Unlike them, she's wearing pants! Hot stuff all around.
