Unfinished Pencils from a Different Deja Vu 1-Shot (Patreon)

     First off, this page is very unfinished. I went in and darkened the lines that were already there, and that's it; I didn't add anything, or correct anything. That's why the face of the woman in the insets is barely there; just enough information to indicate what I needed to do when I got to penciling her (which obviously never happened). There's also a note next to the second inset, reading "Bella closes eyes, grimacing"--so apparently her name was Bella.

     I recall virtually nothing about this story. It was called Deja Vu: "Exposed" (clever, huh?), and all I remember is that the woman sitting and trying not to look while Deja rummages through her wardrobe and poses as she tries things on is not actually a woman. She's some sort of shape-shifting supernatural entity, and Deja knows that the flagrant teasing will drive it crazy and (hopefully) force it to reveal itself. I don't know what the thing is or how she knows it; I suspect it was all an excuse for me to draw Deja posing nearly nude for 20 pages. Oh, and for those who don't know, that kind of flaming circle thing in panel one is the opening to a pocket portal in which Deja keeps her stuff (since she's homeless), which basically means her laundry. And before anyone asks, no, I don't know what those lines in the background of the first panel are, aside from indications of what I was going to draw there. And I'm not going to hunt down the script to find out it was. Let's face it, no one would've been looking at the background anyway.
