Description
Although the kick to her groin was not as hard as it could have been, Blue reacts as Green expected her to: she instinctively turns away and covers up to prevent further abuse of her nether regions. Green follows with the second and third 'dirty moves' that she owes her young opponent. First she strikes her on the back of the head and neck with her forearm. Like the kick, it isn't delivered with malice, but with precision. The intent isn't to injure but to goad her into a reaction. Blue flinches, jerking her head down and to her left and pitches forward slightly, attempting to roll with the blow.

Now Green moves with a quickness and agility that Blue didn't think she still had in her. She reaches across Blue's face and grabs her left ear, using it to turn her opponent's head. This move is also done with some care, because she knows that Blue will react to the sudden sensation and move towards it in order to keep Green from tearing her ear off. Green isn't pulling hard enough to do any damage, but by gripping the ear tightly she makes Blue feel pain. So she doesn't have to pull very hard because her panicked opponent will do most of the work. She grabs Blue's swimsuit strap to gain some leverage and complete the action, which will result in Blue dropping to the mat on her back. She will be unhurt, but the speed and viciousness of the assault will leave her stunned and confused long enough for Green to begin the next phase of her plan.

Technical Notes: Since November I've been drawing almost every day for at least an hour, and often two or three (and sometimes a few more). I think I'm finally seeing some benefit from that, as both of these drawings came together fairly quickly. I am sure that I'll find things wrong with them over time, but being able to get the poses I want with less effort feels great, especially since I did these without using references.

I continue to experiment with color, and I tried using it to make 'Blue' the focus of the images. Her shading has more contrast and more saturated colors so that she really jumps to the front of the drawings. 'Green' is dulled and almost colorless, like the background. I want the viewer to feel Blue's confusion as her worldview suddenly becomes a whirlwind of dull colors and shifting lights and shadows. In a matter of seconds she has had control of the match (and of her opponent) jerked out from under her feet, and her mind is in that auto-pilot that happens when there's too much new information to process in one instant. If I had a bit more confidence I might have blurred the background and her opponent's lines a bit to complete the effect.
