| Blue Crash Kit-- Webcomic of champions. We love you more than cheese! | In keeping with our tradition of doing special treats on Friday whenever possible, and to keep a promise to some fans who specifically requested this, today we present to you -- Crash From Start To Finish! / [[sketches of Crash]]
/ This is the first ever character sketch of Crash. As you can see, this was a case of getting it mostly right the first time around. Crash has changed less than any of our three main characters. / One notable difference between the Crash that was and the Crash that is now is her legs. At first, all the characters had very animal-like legs. In fact, we had several talks on just how animal-like the characters should be. / Initially we even debated how, and if, we should do shoes in the strip. This was of course related to the leg issue. Obviously we elected to do away with footwear in the strip. / Crash being the character with most frequently-exposed legs (since she usually wears a skirt), she was also the most important character in our discussions of anatomy. In this drawing from day two of the strip, you can see that we were still going with fairly animal-like legs. / By month two of the strip, we'd started making the legs more human-like. / In recent shots of Crash you can see that we finally went to an almost completely human leg, while keeping the animal-looking foot. / You can also see that the only real changes to Crash's face were a few line refinements. / Even though Crash has changed the least of our main characters, she was the most influential in determining the body type style of the entire strip. The leg issues was the final one in a series of talks about just how animal-like they should look. Part of the advantage of giving them human bodies is to make them more "superheroey," not to mention that it is much easier to find drawing references for clothing on human-looking forms. / We amost didn't have to deal with these issues. Despite having gotten the idea for doing a webcomic from looking at animal versions of us that Shan had drawn for her own amusement, using those designs in the strip wasn't the original plan. I had initially envisioned the characters as humans, and then as humans who could turn into werecreature-like superheroes. Shan pointed out, though, that we could launch much sooner if we used the characters she'd already designed. I resisted, but she won, and I think we're all pretty happy about that. http://bluecrashkit.com/index.php?date=2006-01-20 |

/ Stacy [[narrating flashback]]: "I knew I was a goner before the crash. There was this white flash, and then..."
/ "It was the weirdest experience, man. I was just floating in this... nothing." / Stacy [[narrating flashback]]: "I could feel myself going farther and farther away..."
/ "So yeah. I figured that was it, and I'd died a good death." / [[Stacy with a skeletal hand on his shoulder.]]
/ Stacy [[narrating flashback]]: "I dunno what I expected. I know I wasn't expecting what happened next."
/ Stacy [[in scene]]: I, uh... I'm dead, right?
/ Death: That depends. I have a proposition for you. http://bluecrashkit.com/index.php?date=2006-01-25 |
| Blue Crash Kit-- Webcomic of champions. We love you more than cheese! | Blue: So you're...
/ Stacy: Assistant Death. And yes, his horse IS named Binky. / Stacy: Hey, I gotta tie up some loose ends and get to orientation, but I'll be seeing you soon, bro.
/ Blue: Uh, yeah. See you... / Blue: Soon? Hey! Whaddaya mean by that? Stacy? Hey! C'mon, man!

| Blue Crash Kit-- Webcomic of champions. We love you more than cheese! | This week's Friday Extra -- All About Sarah / Doctor Sarah M'Bonoto has turned into one of the most popular characters in the strip. Gee-- I wonder why... / Sarah first appeared standing in line behind Seth at Bestwaymart in the January 6, 2005 strip, but did not return or get a speaking role until February 8th, when she and Seth moved in next door to our heroes. / With Sarah and Seth, we wanted an incongruous mix -- the nerdy, snarky inventor type with the totally hot bombshell babe. You know those couples you look at and say to yourself, "How did a geek like that end up with such a total hottie?" That was the idea here. / To complete the effect, of course, we wanted to give her not just beauty, but brains, as well. (While a great face and body are nice, as Cat says, "Sexy is between the ears.") / Of course, as much as we studiously avoid anything to do with realism here (Come on-- this is a comic about talking anthropomorphic animal superheroes who fight giant zombie turkeys -- If you expect realism here you're definitely at the wrong drive-through), I am somewhat obsessive about internal consistency, so I can't write in a character without giving her some backstory. / And now you get to read Sarah's backstory. Isn't this kind of like being cornered at a convention and forced to listen to some unshowered guy who lives in his mother's basement talk about his 47th level vampiric plumber who also happens to be half-dragon and own his own galaxy? / Sarah had a love-hate relationship with her looks growing up. She loved looking good, but hated that most people couldn't seem to see past her appearance. She developed her intellect partly as a way to prove there was more to her than people assumed. / This didn't prevent her from taking advantage of her looks, however. She actually worked her way through med school as a swimsuit model, and learned to enjoy putting the men and women who made assumptions about her in their places. / Having grown up with four brothers, Sarah had been something of a tomboy. She learned to hunt (but didn't like it), fish, and hold her own in rough-housing at an early age. This upbringing helped when she discovered martial arts in her freshman year at university. / Most of those who had been initially interested in Sarah ended up getting scared off. They weren't expecting brains and the ability to kick their asses to be wrapped up in a package like this. / When Sarah and Seth became neighbors, Sarah finally met someone more interested in her intellect than her cleavage, and who wasn't threatened by her. The two shared many late-night conversations about literature, cinema, science, politics, and philosophy. / When they thought there were about to die during the Turkzilla attack, both confessed to deeper feelings and moved in together before Seth had even recovered from his turkey-inflicted injuries. http://bluecrashkit.com/index.php?date=2006-01-27 |

/ Kit: Got it in one! http://bluecrashkit.com/index.php?date=2006-01-31 |
| Blue Crash Kit-- Webcomic of champions. We love you more than cheese! | Blue: There's a lot to be said for being a superhero. There's the action, the adventure, the fame... / Blue: But there are times when it can be a real pain in the ass. F'rinstance... / Blue: It's hard to feel macho while yer trying to convince the sales clerk that all that powder blue spandex you're buying really IS just for costume repair.
/ Sarah: Aw, poor baby. Does hissums feel wike a girly man?
/ Blue: You're not helping.

| Blue Crash Kit-- Webcomic of champions. We love you more than cheese! | Blue: Look, everybody in this house has been dogging me all week! Enough's enough an' I wanna clear the air before Tizzy gets here for the interview! / Blue: I mean, it's just one thing after another! First you guys--
/ Crash [[off-screen]]: You're right, Blue. We've been hard on you all week, and we're sorry. / Blue: Huh?
/ Crash: I guess we thought you knew we were just teasing and didn't mean anything by it. We're sorry we took it too far.
/ Kit: Yeah, we didn't mean ta hurt your feelings.
/ Crash: But... / Crash: Since Tizzy's already on her way, why don't you take a few minutes to have a beer, listen to music or something and get calmed down. Kit and I can start the interview and make some excuse about why you're late. After the interview, we'll talk. And I promise we'll make it up to you. / Crash: Hi, Tizzy! Come on in! Blue's gonna be a little late. He's in the other room sulking and listening to Abba.
/ Blue: You're not earning any make-up points here, you know! http://bluecrashkit.com/index.php?date=2006-02-05 |
| Blue Crash Kit-- Webcomic of champions. We love you more than cheese! | Tizzy: Let's start with how you first met.
/ Crash: I was already a big Talon fan, so I was at a convention where Blue, as Talon, was a guest.
/ Tizzy: Didn't you already have your powers then? / Crash: Yes, but I still had a crush. Plus back then I was crimefighting in a little 1,500 person town, and--
/ Tizzy [[off-screen]]: What kind of crime WAS there in a town that small?
/ Crash: Well, uh... / Blue [[patting Crash's head]]: Somebody hadda' put a stop to all that cow-tipping.
/ Crash: Lay off! I had to start somewhere! And they were cute cows, too. http://bluecrashkit.com/index.php?date=2006-02-06 |
| Blue Crash Kit-- Webcomic of champions. We love you more than cheese! | Crash [[narrating]]: "Anyway, Talon was on a panel with this pretentious jerk..."
/ Mental-Man: ...So to answer your question, subtlety and psychological intimidation are much more important than brute strength.
/ Blue: I couldn't agree with ya more, Mental-Man. / Mental-Man: What are you talking about, Talon? You're everything that's wrong with this business! Bouncing bullets off your chest and throwing cars all over the place! You couldn't be subtle if you-- / Blue: I SAID I was sorry! If I'd known it was your "Mental-Man-Mobile," I'da thrown something else. 'Specially if I'd known you were still in it!
/ Mental-Man: Why do I try?
/ Blue: And hey -- maybe not subtle, but ya gotta admit it was intimidating, huh? Are you crying?
/ Mental-Man: I loved that car. http://bluecrashkit.com/index.php?date=2006-02-07 |
| Blue Crash Kit-- Webcomic of champions. We love you more than cheese! | Blue: She tracked me down for an autograph afterward, and then we just started running into each other all over--
/ Crash: Oh, please, Blue! / Crash: We weren't just "running into each other." I was stalking him. The big doofus was just too clueless to notice.
/ Blue: Huh? / Blue: Did I mention she and Kit are the brains here?
/ Crash: Heh! He's a little slow sometimes, but he has his uses. http://bluecrashkit.com/index.php?date=2006-02-08 |
| Blue Crash Kit-- Webcomic of champions. We love you more than cheese! | Crash [[narrating]]: Anyway, we started writing to each other...
/ Blue: Cool! Another letter from that hot redheaded chick! / Crash [[letter]]: ...And I can't wait until we can get together and indulge in hot, lush, steamy, decadent --
/ Blue: Ooh, this is hot! / Crash [[narrating]]: Of course there were the occasional disappointments.
