So that was my original Red Dahlia. I hope you enjoyed it. For my senior project in college, I changed a lot about the story and set it in a sci-fi setting instead of a modern one like this story. Consider this a “sketch,” of the character.

I like the fake-out here where you think they’re going to fight but don’t.

Her face shifts so much on this page from panel to panel.

Very simple backgrounds here to catch up on the deadline.

And like a good soap opera you have characters come out of nowhere with revelations.

Kind of a weird angle in panel 2. I would probably draw it tilted up more now.

Happy Birthday, AJ.

Dutch angles. So many Dutch angles.

This has a good back-and-forth between the two of them.

I admit I used a lot of Kung Fu movies for this fight scene coming up.

I had to explain where she got the Samurai sword from, so why not Police evidence for some other crime? Because the morgue is attached to the police station I guess.
