Author Notes:
Jenny's blur is absent here, mainly since in this position it would obscure the action a little. That and I forgot that as well and never went back to add it. Did like that skidding effect when she stops, though. Looks awesome.
I will say; I do have one really major regret for this street in the fight scene; it should be snow-covered. I add snow on the sidewalk in later pages, but how much better would it look if the street hadn't been plowed and there was just a thick blanket of the stuff they were fighting over? Would look cool and be a great visual nod to the whole theme of the chapter. Almost really seems like a waste without it. Bugs the heck out of me. Hindsight, I guess.
Love Orion, though. He's always been my favorite constellation, even since I was a little kid, and moreso then Canis Major, got to design what he looked like as a person before Martin put that awesome star-filter on. Just looks great. Based his outfit off Russel Crowe's get-up in Gladiator which makes no sense as that was set in Rome and Orion is a Greek figure but... It was a good movie. Shut up.

Right off the bat with the constellation summoning, Martina's not fooling around and is Franklin going to join in this fight?

Anyway, not sure how much I have to say here. This whole sequence tended to take awhile to color, but I'm happy with how it all came out. The shading starts showing up in a week, hopefully everyone will like how that's looking, though since it was the first page we actually did it on before it started up on WaR and BP, it's a little more shaky to begin with.
Will get into that when we come back to it, though. We'll get some insight into that star guy in the next page - how that was done was I just gave him normal colors and then put a blue filter over that, and Adam added the stars to him. There's a reason we took that approach to it that will become apparent soon.
