Spiral Harley Lineart

Introducing Amalgam Comic's Spiral Harley! As you probably can guess from the name, it's an amalgamation of DC's Harley Quinn and Marvel's Spiral. I couldn't believe it when I first stumbled upon this character. It was like a dream come true for me! They practically combined two of my favourite characters from each rival company and merged them into this super awesome babe (why didn't I think of that before )!

Sadly, as far as I understood it, Amalgam Comic was more of a novelty exploration than a serious venture into new territories, and only a handful of stories got published. In any case, Spiral Harley was part of the Dark Claws'(a Batman/Wolverine character drawn and done in a pastiche of Bruce Timm's style) Rogue's Gallery and clashed with him regularly, but all that was shown of her was just her Spiral-inspired-helmeted-face... in a flashback... so that's that. With only a written description of her attributes, I rendered her in my own way, with a lot more Harley Quinn design going than Spiral. I actually did want to do the Spiral-Samurai helmet design as an alternate costume, but I'm kinda too attached to the classic jester design to have the inspiration for that... oh well!

Coloured version to come up around two months' time because I have to make a trip abroad for a function and I haven't packed for it yet! I'll also add a lot of flavour text together with the coloured version because building up a fictional backstory to an existing character that doesn't not have one has helped with my creative process.
