Real B*tches 040

# The Real Superheroines of Hive Valley
## a webcomic, by Matt S. Law

![bitches 40.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sidekickmatt/AKVWX2xm1WLhUSQSceQ6sXC47V2BmbtA6asumvie4kUPyNm4LUZVPFTgEqDFx8w.png)

Every time Phantom Lady uses her powers it's like having to draw two separate panels. I have to render Phantom Lady on a layer by herself, then cut out all of her background with the lasso tool and delete it so I can throw her onto Huntress's layer Then just play around with the opacity until she looks just transparent enough to see the background through her but not so transparent that all her details are lost.

I finished this panel on Sunday, then forgot to upload it. Right now it is Monday morning and I'm uploading it now from a Panera in Pasadena, California. Now, I just finished uploading Java Jaguar and scheduled it for release on Thursday, and noticed, hey I never uploaded The Real Superheroines panel for tomorrow. So I'm doing it now. I took the time to explain all this, because when I uploaded Java I wrote a whole bunch of stuff, including how I found a last-minute pet sit in Pasadena, so as soon as I finish typing this I'm going to head over to the house. Yay! Not homeless for the rest of the week.

So in three days when you read Java Jaguar and it says, "Yay! I'm not homeless for the week" just remember that these were uploaded non-chronologically. Hope that helps to quash any confusion.

**Boilerplate:**
[*The Real Superheroines of Hive Valley*](http://realsuperheroines.com) is a webcomic about a reality television show following the lives of seven public domain superheroines that all live together in the same mansion in the elite community of Hive Valley.

You should be thankful for all those digital tools!  Else you could go back to putting dashed lines in a slightly female shape!

I guess the digital tools make things like transparency easier. It's not something I have looked deeply at.

Good to hear you got some more work as I am sure Hive is not paying the bills yet. Some people did live from the blockchain in the boom times, but they had to live somewhere cheap.

Oh, definitely easier. I guess the only way to do that with traditional media would be with light watercolor washes and that would be a nightmare. Or the old-school, Golden Age, white = invisible trick...
