The 2nd pinup of 202 is by Nicole Roberts, a good friend and Super Art Fight colleague.  This pinup is also of Morgan but takes her on in a different way by showing her towering behemoth hauntingly standing over her.  The drawing is beautiful however the color work is moody and amazing.  Overall I think it does a perfect job of showing the insane culmination of Morgan’s dark determination.  

Nicole sent along this statement with her pinup “Morgan is an absolutely terrifyingly powerful villain and I wanted to capture that with one of her most powerful creations. She's a villain you love to hate!”

Follow Nicole on instagram at @readysetcreate and check out her portfolio site, ready-set-create.com and see her amazing artwork.  Everything she does is adorable and whimsical but with moody and textural ink and color work that really gives it a unique and powerful style.

So this chapter ends on a high note as we see our new friends make their way to a welcoming country after so long being on the run. Come back next week to start chapter 16 and see where the story takes us!

So for the rest of the chapter, which has been a long one (get used to that), we get to spend it with Charlie, Colby, and their family as they attempt to cross the border into Canada. One of my favorite things to do is find real places to include in the book, like Saulte Sainte Marie in Michigan. go look it up. It's beautiful and would make for a perfect place to help these needy refugees

I love that these are so used to creation and all the creepiness that can come with it that they are fine with going into this giant monstrous thing. I'm sure it will all turn out okay

So I just want to call out that there is a typo on this page in the 3rd panel where I give Peter the wrong last name! There is a bit of an anecdote behind the spelling here but since it involves a real person, I'll save it til you ask me in person. Don't worry. I fixed it for the print version

This character is just oozing with creative energy, so much so that he can sense a lot about each member of the crew. I'll tell you right now, I had a lot of fun designing his outfits to be like J Crew science nerdcore

Peter Mabyn is one of the 3 original Creators, along with Morgan and Adwin. I don't think I have really mentioned him since the 2nd chapter of the first volume, way back in 2014 when he ran away and disappeared, but, we found him!

Hooray for a cheerful reunion. It's fun to think back to when Ben was kind of a scary and vengeful villain and the character he has become.

When the crew arrived at the Flesh and bone city and saw the eyes and teeth, perhaps they should have seen this moment coming? I know I would have.

Wait...what? These devices were shown in the first panel of the first page of this volume and I've been thinking about them coming to life every day since. designing them to being secret beings was aweird but fun challence.

We have returned to the flesh and stone city as our crew gets a bit closer. Oh and in case you forgot about their weird little wrist gadgets...something is going very wrong with them,

Adwin has been building this group up for some time now and it is finally time to dig in and have them explain their plans. It's great to see these kids talking excitedly about their potential as creators.

I have had students like Michael many times throughout my career as a middle school art teacher and the only way to get through to them is through the relationship of trust you build with them. It was interesting to write the conversations between Adwin and Michael because they mirror conversations that I have had so many times with students resistant to letting go of their anger.

This group has changed so much for the better. The care about each other, their development as creators, and how they can collaborate to use their abilities for good. And then there's Michael, who is just so angry and therefore resistant to "giving in" to the community that is waiting and there for him.

After the big reveal from last week's page, it's time to go back to the Creator Academy to find out what the rest of the students are up to now that they are being asked to create with nothing but good intentions. What good do you think they can accomplish with their only limits being their combined imaginations

And here it is, the giant mega creation city. In the wilderness of Northern Michigan there is a giant purple city of flesh and stone. This was the image that popped in my head that made me want to write this 3rd and final volume.
