This just in: "Tarrine" is a tricky name to work into a title.

Nina taking on 's snow leopard, Tarrine. As we can see, Nina's learned an important lesson since her last guest match: make sure you're on the defensive in the first few panels, that way you get to be on the attack at the end. The Blizzard is one of Tarrine's finishers; I understand that it's not good form in RP to make unbelievable comebacks from powerful finishers...but I don't RP. Actually, it's a pretty fair representation of how Nina manages to face-off with stronger, swifter foes like Tarrine without getting curb-stomped; Nina may not be very strong or fast for her species, but she's got resilience in spades.

So, this...took longer than I wanted, no denying that, and I apologize to zerry for that. A lot of that was procrastination time, of course, and a lot was a busy schedule. First comic with cel-shading though, and equally significant, although probably less obvious, first time I've really cared about consistency with markings. You may have noticed, but I rarely worried too much on adjusting Nina's arm markings in different positions in the past, but I'm going to pay attention from here on out. The main impetus for this, of course, was the fact that I needed to do the same for Tarrine here. Didn't copy and paste any spots, but hopefully it doesn't look like spots are migrating across her fur as she moves around.
