Description
This piece was done for a writer friend, 
, who crafted a superb action-drama series about Gum Belle, a rubbery crime-fighter in an unforgiving 1930's backdrop, that has kept me glued from one chapter to the next. It's got a great balance of everything: gritty action, heartfelt drama, and a light touch of comedy that can either be subtle or laugh-out-loud hilarious. I can't say enough about his entertaining and creative storywriting, the man has a natural gift.
I posted a stand-alone piece with Belle months ago: [link] It was one of the first pieces I made after joining Deviantart and I always wanted to follow it up with a little more from his story. This series is begging to be published in some form or another! And my aim was to lend my skills to Stretch in any way I could, and perhaps help provide some visuals (not that Stretch-Ink is a bad artist himself!
)
Gum Belle is a powerhouse of resilient elasticity and adaptability who tends to want things her own way, is determined to do the right thing no-matter-what!, and has an inclination to jump in first and use her head later. She's a really endearing and human personality.
Okay, so I have a mildly unhealthy attraction to Gum Belle.
>_>
But it goes without saying that crimefighters are defined by their opponents, and in order to give Belle due credit and underscore the dangers she goes up against, I wanted to render a visual piece to reflect the type of super-goons she encounters in her adventures. Presenting the Board of Crime and their master-mind Phantom Skull, with Stretch-Ink's permission, of course. Since these are all his characters, and because Stretch-Ink is a better handler of words anyway, I suggest you read more about the characters and the setting at this mirrored posting: He also has a better hi-rez copy for download.
I hope, if you haven't already begun, that you take the opportunity to start reading Belle's adventures right now, because it's a wonderful slice of Awesome. [link]
