Wearing the Cape: Team-Ups & Crossovers

by DaveB on November 3, 2016 at 12:34 am
Posted In: Blog

Wearing the Cape 6Eee! I’m so excited! So Wearing the Cape is one of my favorite superhero novel series. I’ve mentioned it before, usually when a new volume comes out, and guess what?

<—— Hmm. One of those gals looks familiar.

A while ago, Marion G. Harmon, the author of WtC (and as it turns out, reader of Grrl Power) contacted me and asked if I’d be interested in co-writing a cross over story with him. Naturally I said yes, even though I’ve never really written much in the way of prose before. The basic premise of the book is, as the “Team-Ups & Crossovers” subtitle suggests, Astra (the WtC protagonist) goes tumbling across dimensions and bumps into various other realities including a few people you might recognize if you’re a voracious consumer of all things superhero.  Now keep in mind, the chapter in the Grrl-verse is just one section of the book, but this is a canon story for Sydney and co. It takes place just a bit in the future of the comic. Sydney is a private, but there’s nothing that spoils anything between then and now. Here’s a link to the kindle version. The paperback will be available in the coming weeks.

I mostly wrote Sydney’s sections and Marion mostly wrote Astra’s, but there was a lot of back and forth and editing and I think it came out really good. (Though you can safely assume any dip in the quality of the prose is one of my sections. :)

Please feel free to comment on the book here, especially Sydney’s adventure with Astra. Remember, you can put spoiler tags over text by putting [spoiler] stuff you want to spoil [/spoiler] in your comment. Don’t forget the “/” on the closing tag or it won’t work properly.

I have some kittens that need a home (Updated: maybe not)

by DaveB on August 15, 2016 at 8:33 am
Posted In: Blog

kittensThe short version of this story is that some strays came around and like dummies me and the wife started feeding them, and they eventually had some kittens. The strays are gone now, but of course we’ve been taking care of the kittens. They were living in an enclosed porch we have attached to the house, with the door open just enough for them to come and go, but not wide enough for tomcats or possums and what have you to get in. It’s been so hot lately that we moved them indoor, and have even started getting them their shots. They’re currently parasite free, and quite domesticated. They figured out the litterbox while they were still on the porch in less than a day. They were born on Memorial Day weekend, so that puts then at about 11 weeks now. They haven’t been fixed yet, as they need to be 12 weeks old at least. There’s 5 of them, 4 girls, one boy. They’re all black except for one girl. The boy also has a little white patch on his chest. The problem is we already have 2 adult cats and besides not wanting a territory spraying war inside the house, we’re fairly certain that one or the other cats would probably murder the kittens before too long. The kittens are, well, rambunctious, as kittens are wont to be, and our cats would get tired of that real fast I think.

We’ve contacted all the no kill shelters in the area, but apparently they’re flush with kittens right now. We’ve hit up friends on facbook, the wife has asked around at work, so now I’m asking around at my work. Here’s some badly framed video of them. I’m not looking to sell them, I just want to find good homes for them, so if you’re in the DFW area or know someone who is, please email me at grrlpowercomic at gmail.

Update: We’ve adopted out two of the kittens. With all 5 they were too much to handle, but three? We’ve become kind of attached and we’re thinking about keeping them, assuming we can integrate them with the two cats we already have. A 5 cat household is a lot though, so we’ll see how it goes.

mideval-tAnvil: (to shopkeep) Hmm, I don’t know, do you have anything bigger?

Shopkeep: M’lady that’s made of dwarven deep iron, I don’t really understand how you’re lifting it, but I do have a petrified tree trunk out back.

Sydney: Hey Seabiscuit, do you have any 10 foot poles?

Shopkeep: I have quarterstaves, but I don’t know how long a “foot” is.

Sydney: Dabbler your translation spell is broken!

Dabbler: It doesn’t automatically do units. I never bothered including that in my spell cause I can to the conversions in my head.

Maxima: If you’re so smart, they why are you trying to get me to dress like a Boris Vallejo painting?

Dabbler: Until we figure out how to get home, we should try to blend in.

Maxima: There’s little chance of that happening. That elder dragon thought I was a golem made out of solid gold, it tried to add me to it’s hoard!

Dabbler: And thanks to you knocking out 7 of its teeth, we can practically afford to buy this whole town!

Maxima: I knocked out 8 teeth.

Dabbler: Well I’m keeping one for myself, obviously. I’m going to make it into a kitchen knife that can cut through an engine block and still julienne a tomato!

Edit: Updated to point at the DA page. Color version coming eventually.

VDSD16-Heatwave-tClick through to the DeviantArt page to see it, since I at least think of the children. Actually I’m mostly thinking of people at work. (Or just click here to see it since you have to be signed up at DA to see mature stuff.)

For a SFW version, click here to vote for Grrl Power over at TWC.

 

 

 

 


If you’re not familiar with the VDSD, it’s basically an excuse for webcomicers to draw one or more of their characters in the nip. Most of these links just go to their page, which should have a link on it to the good stuff, but just to be safe, consider each link potentially NSFW.

Vote incentive for November posted

by DaveB on November 1, 2015 at 1:46 am
Posted In: Blog

artbrosean-tInstead of drawing my own vote incentive this month, I decided to hire out the job, primarily so I can spend the time I would have spent on it putting the book together*. Anyone who has read Spying with Lana, a funny and very sexy comic I have in my recommendation list (under the NSFW heading) should immediately recognize the artist I got to do this slightly compromising picture of Maxima. I marked it NSFW for some underboob. It’s not actually explicit, but a little moreso than I usually post.

Immediately after this scene, it’s possible that this happened. Or this, this, or this. You get the idea. There’s an outside chance that all that happened was this, depending very much on the situation and who it was who walked in on her.

*If anyone’s wondering, I’ve made all the corrections, and I’m building it in InDesign. It went slow at first because for the first 50 pages or so I didn’t have print ready PDFs. I just exported web ready versions out of photoshop, but now I’m past that and I should be able to finish that the next time I sit down to do it. Still have to scan some stuff and do a cover but it’s getting closer.

What's all this then?

Grrl Power is a comic about a crazy nerdette that becomes a superheroine. Humor, action, cheesecake, beefcake, 'splosions, and maybe some drama. Possibly ninjas.

Updates Mondays and Thursdays.

Rated PG-13 for violence and gratuitous cheesecake (and beefcake)
Rated R for language. Seriously, Sydney has a filthy mouth.

Who’s Who?

I wrote a book!

Tamer: Enhancer
It's called Tamer: Enhancer, and has nothing to do with Grrl Power. It's actually Tamer fanfic, and it's free! Enjoy!

I wrote another book!

Tamer: Enhancer
Tamer: Enhancer 2. It's a sequel! It's still a Tamer fanfic, and it's also free! 210K words of weapon building, dinosaur fighting, harem satisfying, lumberjacking, moderate diplomacing, bad guy chopping action. Also some humor. Enjoy!

Sydney's First Crossover!


Wearing the Cape: Team-Ups & Crossovers is Sydney's first Crossover adventure. (Also her first appearance in prose!) I've made a dedicated blog post for it, please comment there.
