This trade is a biggie, because it features none other than Cheshire Cat!
The unholy doctorate alliance
Ol' Cheesy really needs no introduction. If you don't know who he is, you're REALLY out of the loop, and quite frankly I pity you. I will mention how we became long time friends i this here community. Back when I had my Yahoo! Group many moons ago, he posted a fan art on it way back in 2002, and the rest was history! Many different pics were made between us involving his and my characters after that, and we even got kahoshiden involved to form a power trio of sorts.
Cheshire Cat has MANY original characters, with Cali and Friends being the most popular and centric in his art. Among that group, the sultry Mab Malvanado became a HUGE favourite of mine. A true ensemble darkhorse like Khali's Kelyn or my very own Selis, she's adored by the fanbase despite not being a lead character. Going way beyond looking like the moody goth archetype, Mab has a wonderfully layered personality with contrasting quirks, is incredibly sexy with that smoldering grown-up attractiveness, and by "Word of God" it was confirmed last year that out of all of Cheshire Cat's cast, she has the most ticklish feet, shown
here, which really is saying something.
So, no real suprises that I chose her to be in this trade. Along with old favourite and ex Bey, both are captured and in stocks by Dr. Wolfgang Darang and Cheshire's OC villain Doctor Zelda Insaniac, and with these two working together, these poor girls have absolutely no chance. While Insaniac finally gets to torture Bey's feet with a couple of brutal tickle tools, Darang does three things to Mab: He plays on her morbid cynophobia, has his Alsatian go for her feet (as mentioned her most ticklish area), and even rubs it in by calling her Mabel. That filthy swine! The evil doctors Darang and Insaniac are a true unholy alliance that will be feared, no doubt.
Tales of the Bizarre 2
If you have photographic, even anally retentive memory like I have, you may remember a fanart Cheshire Cat did for me on my old and long-gone Yahoo! Group's 2nd anniversary. It was a mock-up comic cover called Tales of the Bizarre, and it was very funny and highly creative. In a shout out to that previous piece (I do love continuity to any media), here's the sequel to that, and it's even better than the last one!
Here, Darang and Insaniac are a team here as well. They've already made Cali and Katsuima (kahoshiden's OC) their slaves, and have just added poor Robi to their collection. The Chimp and the Cat look like they are ready to dish out pwnage on those two villains. I just love this piece for so many reasons, like Darang's insane look, Robi looking like the perfect damsel in distress, and just the sheer badassery of it is just made of win!
I'll be taking a break in the schedule for the trades, and will post more again after Christmas, provided if they're ready of course!
