Only took you 55 pages to make your introduction, Harry.

Just to state again, this story's coming to an end next week, and I could do with some help from some of my art bros! I'd like to run guest strips for a week or two while I buffer up the next story, so if anyone could send me something I'd appreciate it! Email me at kojiro_muyo@hotmail.com :)

Cast: Harriet Barber, Sidney Malik, Thomas Macavity

    So who else noticed Harry turned her blade around to hit Macavity with the dull side in panel 5? Very nice touch--as a fencer myself, I really appreciate little details like this rather than, say, a melodramatic anime-esque bit where the hero really obviously turns the blade backwards.

      Oh yay, I'm glad that worked! I was kinda winging it, I know next to nothing about fencing which is something I should really change!

        Well, if you ever have a swordfight again: especially with relatively light weapons like these would be, quick and understated moves typically work best (they're faster and so harder to catch) but are less dramatic. For a good balance, see if you can find some movie swordfights coreographed by the late Bob Anderson (Princess Bride, Mask of Zorro, etc.) or an old Errol Flynn movie to use for ideas. My only real criticism (and only if I really look hard at the page) is that the swords seem a little short--most duelling sabres would be longer, probably around 3 feet long or just a bit longer, although this is highly variable. It kind of looks like they're fighting with skinny machetes :)

    Oh my, I wouldn't want to ever kiss Harry. Her mouth breath completely shocked Macavity!

    Very nice conclusion to the fight- as a fencer, I have to agree with rgelok30 on the quick flip around. Can't wait to see the finish of this arc and to see the next arc on this one. You've come quite a long ways from the start of your first webcomic- keep it coming, Kate!

    I think this somehow made Harry even more badass, gonna be sad she's not in the next chapter.

    • Garrett_cw 14 years ago archived

      What!!!!!!!!! She's not in the next chapter. "Say it isn't so, Joe."

      • Kate A 14 years ago archived

        'fraid not, Harry and Sid will be out for one story! They'll be back though :)

        • Garrett_cw 14 years ago archived

          Glad to hear they're coming back. BIG Smiley.

    As rfor my own comment. And they say smoking is bad for you. :P


    I'm having trouble seeing how she hit him with the blade, rather than the pummel.

    • TrueWolves 14 years ago archived

      From the looks and the conversation, she used the dull edge of the blade for the smack, as a saber it's only sharp on one edge.

    Nicely done, Harry. ^^ ... I really do hope they didn't just give Greed the freedom to move about and manifest at will, thouh.

  • Tatzel 14 years ago archived

    So much love for Harry. :)

  • SoItBegins 14 years ago archived

    I'd say she's smoking hot right now :D

  • Sam T Godfrey 14 years ago archived
