Bareknuckle Notes (Patreon)

There's been a lot of bareknuckle test images that I haven't posted yet, and since I've been tied up with experiments and commissions today, I thought I'd post them all with some thoughts about how I'd see things going down the road.

At the top is the final version of page 1. I like the idea of Brooke writing a diary about her fights, and I think you guys will like it when I reveal who the diary's for. I expect this current fight to run about ten more pages or so, making it around 30 total. Once this first story's done, I plan on taking a break from it to finish some other projects, and come back to do the next fight after the first of the year.

I like the concept of a shadowy "organization" that moves from place to place, throwing up the ring and the lights in whatever space they can find. I tested using an empty warehouse I'd picked up a few weeks back, and I'll probably save it to use on something else in the future:

SPOILERS (kinda) BEYOND THIS POINT:

I intend for part 2 to take place in this barn. Brooke's opponent will be Bobbie Fitzgibbons, a veteran fighter in her mid-40's wanting one last fight:

Part 2 will have two fights, the second will introduce Suzie Sullivan, the queen of the bareknuckle fights:

She'll show of her skills against Donna "Diamond" Cutter, Brooke's opponent in The House of Pain, my prison boxing story:

 

Brooke and Suzie stare each other down at the end of part 2:
