Heheh... This has a good chance of being my favorite page in the chapter. I really love the script and the result. ^^ This feels like the climax of the Grant-Ivy fight, with the pair trading blows and strikes directly.
You'll notice that when Grant uses an Aikido throw on Ivy this time, it takes out a lot of his hair since that's what she was holding him by. My favorite bit is that even Ivy is sort of taken aback and maybe even impressed by him doing that even though it ripped out part of his scalp. The way he immediately goes into fly-by strikes after that and gets a smack in the face... Very simple page but really digging this leg of the fight.
I like how in drawing this I had to think back on times I've had some of my own hair ripped out. ^^
It's funny, I pretty much wrote most of this fight all in one go, came pretty naturally once I got a rhythm going for it, but generally speaking is hard to actually comment on.
Need to do more scripts later on that note, only a couple pages written of the next chapter. Though do have a pretty clear idea of what it'll be like.
Either way though, yeah, am happy with this one. Was kind of trying to have Grant really demonstrate a fighting spirit here and show he can create an opening, but still put over that Ivy is a veteran and can create an opening in an instant. Hopefully everyone enjoys.
