Closer...

The blood witch and the angel share an intimate moment: 

Guess what happens next.

Anatomical Anomalies

So I was looking at this sketch and I realized that I gave the angel an extra set of abdominal muscles.  The odd thing is that, looking back at issue three, apparently I did this about half of the times that I drew him, and the other half I guess I remembered enough human anatomy to not add extras.

Also, here's a panel from another new page.

She is rapidly becoming one of my favorite characters.

When I was initially coming up with things to run in the first issue of Delirium, I had this concept for a series of one page gags called Sex and Violence (alternative titles included Naked Death and Death Slut), with the basic premise being a sexy woman and a monster inciting murder and mayhem in their wake.  The blood witch is essentially who the female lead would have been in that strip.

I think I might revisit that idea at a later point.

I'm not dead, I'm just sleeping....

"I will try to post a new page or panel two to three times a week."

Or take over a month and a half.  Whatever.

Well I have been busier than I would have liked to be doing things that are not related to Delirium.  But I have a bit of free time for the next week or so here so I'm going to try and make some progress on Delirium number 4.

One thing that I wanted to include in the fourth issue was some character profiles to give some information that might not get presented in the story otherwise.

Here's the art for Tehra's profile:

The book in her hand makes her a positive role model, right? Because she likes to read and is intellectual.  Right?  Is that how it works?

That first damn step...

For some reason getting the first page of issue four finished was an absolute chore.

The dialogue is cut off, but, really, were you really looking at that anyway?

My schedule has changed a bit so updates will probably not be posted quite as regularly.  I will try to post a new page or panel two to three times a week.

Delirium Issue 3 is on Sale Now!

The third issue of Delirium is on sale now!  Click HERE to BUY it!

Here's the description:

Shotgun wielding cultists worshiping an altar to the dark lord Tchernobog underneath a public library? An arcane ritual involving a grimoire and a naked blonde that will summon up a blood witch? A genetically engineered angel fighting a robotic monstrosity armed with a drill hand and chemical weapons? These are just a few of the exciting scenes that await as you enter the world of Delirium.

Issue three features the continuation of the ongoing stories "Kingdom of Monsters" and "G.E.R.L."

In "Kingdom of Monsters," Tehra finds herself the captive of a cult that plans to use her as a "vessel" in a summoning ritual that is the first step in bringing about the end of humanity.

Meanwhile, "G.E.R.L.'s" story continues as she faces off against a giant security cyborg as she tries to protect her bunny monster companion and find a way out of the Tyrus' sect's grisly laboratory.

If that's not enough to get you excited, there's also an exclusive preview of the first seven pages on Newgrounds:

Grindcutter

I am not sure how many people will recognize this, but the Grindcutter is actually a device shown in the manga Battle Angel Alita.  In the first volume of that manga, Alita fights a cyborg who is able to shoot tentacles out from his hand at supersonic speeds.  That weapon is called a Grindcutter.

And this is the same type of weaponry that GERL uses to rip her own cybernetic enemies to shreds.  So that's a fun little thing that only people who read this blog will likely be aware of.

Krash!

Onomatopoeia is a tough one for me.  There's seemingly only so many ways to express certain sounds in writing.

Okay, well I guess in that cropped pic it actually says "RASH."  But in the full pic it makes sense.
