Combat Faeries linework

I started this illustration in 2006, and got as far as inking 75% of it, but hadn't finalised the faces and hadn't drawn the background. of course right after finishing it I found an old sheet of zipatone small forest leaves I could have used, but I'm glad I did it all by hand instead. this idea popped into my head as a spoof of the old war comics which it occurred to me recently, no longer exist, Marvel and DC both used to publish war comics until I'm not sure when, the 80's? just as well they've fallen out of favour. anyway I thought, this was a terrible idea for a comic, so in that sense it's a spoof. I also thought I certainly shouldn't draw an actual story, but when I mentioned it to one of my models, she said I ought to, I said I didn't have any ideas, and then immediately got one, so I will be drawing it eventually. considering it took 9 years to finish page one, ... stay tuned. I am back to drawing finished work regularly though, so it'll probably be less than that long.
