The latest "Body Crime" uploads. Only a few of them are new or newish.
The "Body Crime" catalog finally hits the 1980s in force. Juicy, word-balloony covers are out. Hard-boiled images with "story slugs" are in.
"Triple Cross in High Heels": Good luck following those pronouns. This was the first cover I ever made in this style, and I hadn't quite figured out how I wanted to handle those slugs. When I returned to it, I decided to leave the byzantine grammar unchanged because ... Well, let's just see what people say.
"The Honeymoon Killers": This was the first of a pattern you'll start to see over the next few updates: covers that reprise stories from earlier modcovers. I went for this kind of thing in two situations: First (as in this case) where I thought the revision would clarify an obscure original.
"Trouble in Paradise": I've nothing to say about this one, except that it is either my bestest favorite of the batch or my leastest favorite.
"A Crook in Curves": The original cover is from the 1950s, and one of my favorites.
"The Bloods and the Bobbysoxers": It's for you to tell me if you can figure out what is going on.
"A Gun in the Oven": The other "retelling" in this batch. The original was pretty explicit, so this is a "retelling" I wanted to do just because I thought the cover was such an awesome alternate take on a story I'd already done.
"The Face that Launched 1000 Capers": I think this one strains after its TG theme. I'm not sure how to improve it without tripling the size of that wall of words, which IMO is NOT a price worth paying.
"Falling Star": I think it was AndiJF who asked, when I first posted this one: "Is the guy with the laser gun from the not-too-distant future?" To which I can only reply: I didn't draw that really funky artwork. I mean, look at her right leg, and the whole way her torso is twisted at the waist. This is a woman who is running in about three different directions at once. We might even put this situation down to a mercy killing.
