Quote form Inktober posting :
.... from '90 something taking the "sort of Liefield" style Marvel was using on a few books at the time and and giving it a dose of Barry Smith mixed with Alex Nino to make it psychedelic.
And i was so busy being smart i fergot she had a tail...
i wuz already doing a fancy computer colour version before i remembered that this character had a tail.
And i sketched out the pose i wanted her absurdly long thin tail to be in .... but i never got around to doing the digital inking fix.
This Inktober i was set to do it - and i put it off - it was a crazy inking style i did ages ago - how could i match it ? - well ..... i did what i could just now... the shadow on the tail behind her back matches the sort of psycho style of the original ... hmmm... i might edit some bits later.
Also added the zen chill retro panel behind her. Very '90's comics trope.
digi tail etc in Krita
Feral is owned by Marvel
And so here is the colour version from 2016-2017 with new added tail and background stuff. (Tail and frame added for Inktober version - both coloured just now in Krita).
This isn't a homage as such - i wanted to see if i could do something a bit different with his style - bringing in Smith etc influences.

Many commercial comics in the '90s were all about trying to catch the next fad - and the next fad became loud flashy in-your-face cartoony splash-page art - so who needs a story or real characters ? At the same time independent comics were striking out into new territories ... At the time i was thinking of leaving the animation biz cuz as a kid i had wanted to be a comic book artist ... so i was keeping up on current styles - Lee, McFarlane, Liefield, etc - thinking i might have to get my foot in the door as an inker - but the animation biz projects remained more interesting than that stuff. All commercial comix in the '90's could have used some better stories. i stopped following commercial comics around the late '90s.
i haven't seen any other versions of her than the early Liefield versions (never consistent) - i just wanted to see if i could take his inking tropes and make them more consistant - like Barry Windsor-Smith's "Red Nails" style on Conan - or ink line echoing Leyandekker's brush strokes ( a style i used in my early commissions ).
Definately one of the more striking and appealing characters that Rob Liefield did back in the day-sometimes I can really miss those Image comics-they were and still are a great source of inspiration!
This is a fantastic rendetion of said character-you have done a top notch job of bringing her to life in true to form style!!!!!
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i thought Liefield was trying to get the classic Marvel vibe - but his art was too two-dimensional and rather sloppy. For sheer "In Your Face" forced dynamics Kirby and Steranko were far better with precise styles of rendering. Still, there was something of Liefield's style that i thought was interesting - worth exploring to see what might be refined and mutated.
King Kirby was by far the superior artist and much more influencial ,Steranko always solid.
If anything Liefield rid the popularist wave -being at the right place at the right time helps!LOL
Still,...the character designs that Image churned out were fun to look at!!!

i didn't mean to imply Liefield was on the same level as Kirby or Streranko - just that he was trying to recapture that bold splash-page excitement - but without the writing or characterization to warrant such drama - his contemporaries McFarlane, Lee, and Kieth (etc) were much better artists, bur still struggled with pretty lame scripts.
