My turn to play hero PART 1

WARNING! BIG FUCKING FILE. I THINK YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD TO VIEW IT. THE ONLY REASON I'M EVEN UPLOADING THIS RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE SAI SAID IT WAS EXACTLY 100,000 PIXELS IN HEIGHT AND CAN'T USE ANY MORE.

Anywho, prequel comic PART 1 for *Cherrie-Keane's

Jess made this comic, alright, and I decided to fill in the blank about the bet Richie was talking about. However, on the same night, we had a discussion about how Richie is so under-minded by Virgil, and how Virgil is constantly the hero, and is always saving Richie. Jess had told me she wanted, for once, Richie to be the hero.

WELL, DARLING! HERE IS PART ONE OF THAT WISH!

By the way: I AM SO SORRY HOW FUCKING LATE THIS IS; HOW I HAVEN'T BEEN ANSWERING MANY OF YOUR REPLIES, AND HAVEN'T COMMENTED ON ANY OF YOUR DEVIATIONS IN FOREVER. I HAVE YOUR FOLDER CONSTANTLY IN MY INBOX, AND IT. WILL. HAPPEN. I LOOK AT EVERYTHING YOU POST THE DAY YOU POST IT, AND I WANT TO COMIC, BUT I'M DAMN BUSY AND EVERYTHING! _{Also, your shirt has not arrived.} AND YOU AND *silvanoir WILL GET YOUR FLASH! I PROMISE!!

I cannot tell you how much you have inspired me, Jess. This FUCKING GINORMOUS project is all for you!

NOW! ONTO COMMENTS ABOUT THE PICTURE:

EDIT

Alright. We're going to walkthrough this. I'm receiving questions:

It's a week before Halloween, and Virgil states that he's bored. Richie is in a pissy mood, messing with his Zap-Traps, and tells Virg to watch TV. So he pouts and turns on Pokemon. Richie runs over and turns off the TV, and, in Virgil's ear, tells him quite nicely "why".

Then theres a call on the police scanner to head to Dakota Park. They done their superhero gettups, but Gear holds back, examining his newly fixed Zap-Traps, and Static knocks him from his stupor.

They head for the skys, making their bet, and Static hears something from below as they get to the park, and, from below, a blast of fire hits him straight on. Gear only takes a few burns, but sees that Static received it in full. He falls off his disk in pain, and Gear dives for him, grabbing him, and they plummet into the lake.

This is where we see our mystery attacker. NOT AN OC. YOU'LL SEE HIM SOOON!!!

Ahem. Anyways, with our villain's smirk, it's a to-be-continued ending.

END EDIT

40 layers later, and you have THIS! I used ONLY photos as references, and used a different photo for each pose. _{Nearly each pose.}

I tried as many different poses, too. Trying to get in some damn practice with anatomy. I KNOW I FAIL SO HARD AT ANATOMY BUT HEATHUS KNOWS I TRIIIIED!!

I have only managed one or two panels in the last three weeks, but TODAY! TODAY I HAD TIIIIIME!! _{No internet and I'm not at my house, so what did I do?}

I WILL BE STARTING ON PART 2 TONIGHT, SO NO PANICKING, PLEASE!!!

And yes, I'd LOVE critique on this!
