Violet Van Vyle in Opposite Day Page 17 (Patreon)

It's a very dialogue light entry today, but it's no less significant as Violet bursts into acrobatic action: sprinting towards the food court and leaping high into the air to land gracefully on someone's lunch. Even without the armour she's a force to be reckoned with, as this display of athletic prowess truly showcases.

It's also showcasing one or two other things, but let's just keep that to ourselves for now. Let the villainess have her moment.

The first and third panels on this page were done, as the French say, avec reference. I have accumulated a rather large collection of "reference material" for these stories. (There are some who would say that it's just a big folder full of "Ts" and "As", but they just don't know about the creative process) I usually don't use them that much, so when I have a page where I can use a reference I feel like collecting all the images has been justified. Sort of.

The second and fourth panels kind of use reference, but only in an indirect way. I was having trouble getting Violet's mouth right in panel two, so I hit up Pinterest for some 3/4 face action. The position and angle of the right leg for the superhero landing there has always been one that I struggle with, but this time I found a leg reference that worked pretty well with only some minor adjustment. I think it turned out pretty okay, all things considered.
