Perfectly executed

Thanks much, this is one of my favorites.

~BlakPlague Jan 16, 2013 Filmographer

Your welcome. Well it does seem like you put a lot of time and effort into this drawing. Perhaps you should do something for the Death of the Family story arc. Maybe a piece that emphasizes the inner struggles that Cain, or another character, is going through. Just a thought, considering how good you are.

Maybe; I'm (luckily) swamped with freelance work, so it may be a while. : )

Ahh I seem, well hopefully you'll get some time to work on such a project. Moreover its good that you've got some work, its hard to find that these days.

For the time being (and the foreseeable future), pics like this seem to be the only factor keeping this character in circulation. A pity, that: Cassandra was part of the story arc that rekindled my interest in the Bat-franchise, and what I read of her subsequent title balanced action and personal struggle in an uncommonly adroit fashion. Of course, once said title's initial writer & artist (Kelley Puckett & Damion Scott, respectively) moved on, things plateaued for a little while...then seemed to get crazier with each plot-twist for its own sake (Cass is retired! No, wait, she's EEEE-VIL! No, wait, she's mind-control-drugged...you get the idea, right?). And now this reboot, in which every single dude who's ever been a Robin gets their own series in some form, whilst the "secondary" Batgirls get next to bupkus. Go figure.

Bitter rants aside, I could give or take the costume updates Cass underwent as Black Bat, but you make 'em work shockingly well here, Mr. Sizer. That two-tone cape really pops against the gritty background, and those splashes of beatdown residue definitely lend Mme. Cain her accustomed edge. Even the noir title font's properly worn-something all too many modern comic-text layers neglect upon tombstones, newsstand titles & other in-panel elements. Honestly, I'm sorry this analysis hasn't included any points that might warrant improvement, but it's just that damn good.

On the contrary; you are most thorough, so thanks for all of the good words!

~geekspace Jun 8, 2012

Hell, you've earned them. Incidentally, I just recalled your work from an indie sci-fi series I perused a while back: Little White Mouse. Talk about degrees of spunky Asian heroines!

*PaulSizer Jun 8, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Yup; that was me. My first comic series. I always have dug the spunky girl hero, hence why I love Cass so much.

~geekspace Jun 8, 2012

Damn straight. And for a first, that series was quite readable. Nice stereotype subversion with that mechanic dude Loo befriends, by the by.
