Angel & Faith

Rebekah Isaacs - "Angel & Faith" Comic Book - Issue 4 - Slayalive.com Q&A

Thursday 22 December 2011, by Webmaster

1. Bamph: Your art on Angel & Faith has been great. I really love it. Here’s my first question.

In the last issue of Buffy, we learned about the new species of vampires created by the loss of magic called zompires, as named by Xander. It’s been confirmed that we’ll also be seeing zompires in Angel & Faith. Have you drawn any yet and if you haven’t, are you looking forward to putting a distinct look on them when you do?

Rebekah: You can’t really tell, but I was asked to put one in the background of the street fight scene at the beginning of issue 2, but at that point the idea of how to make them look and act was pretty unclear.. I was asked to make them big and brutish. He’s the tall one with the slayer trying to strangle him from behind but mostly succeeding in taking a piggyback ride. I’m guessing the idea for how they would look and act changed a bit because Georges drew something far more vicious and feral, which I like. I wasn’t asked to draw them again until issue 8, I believe, which I just finished. I followed Georges’ lead on that one. I really liked what he did with the design and we need to keep them consistent.

2. Morphia: Hi Rebekah

Your work is great. I really hope you get to draw Spike some day. I’d love to see your take on him. Now I’ve read the issue, I understand Angel’s weird fashion choices in the previous issue a little better.

My question is: you drew a really cool red-faced demon lady in issue 2. She hit Angel over the head with a barstool in the fight scene. I liked her a lot. Any chance you might use the character again?

Rebekah: Haha! You’re not the first I’ve heard say they enjoy seeing Angel getting the crap kicked out of him! Poor guy... You will enjoy the hell out of #7 then. Your wish is my command; I will put her in the next scene she could feasibly make an appearance in. Won’t have a chance in issue 9 but but possibly in the third arc. Keep your eyes peeled!

3. FangedFourLover: What is your favorite aspect about Drusilla’s character and what’s your favorite aspect on drawing her?

Rebekah: I love how regal she is, even when she’s acting totally insane. That’s been my favorite part of drawing her, all her floaty, fairy-queen hand gestures and postures.

4. spuffyspangellover: What episodes do you use in reference to draw Drusilla from? Amazing art by the way. I would cry if you ever drew Spike haha.

Rebekah: They ran the gamut. Time was of the essence so I didn’t have a chance to rewatch many episodes, and mostly had to rely on screencaps, but one that I watched a particular scene from over and over was ’Dear Boy’. Most of the screencaps were from Buffy episodes.

5. Moscow Watcher: Hey, Rebekah,

Amazing work, as usual! You’re spoiling us, getting us used to your brilliance!

Question: Was it in the script that on the panel where Angel asks Faith who he reminds of, there is a familiar photo of young!Giles? And - that there should be exactly one half of his body visible?

Rebekah: It wasn’t in the script, but putting the photo in view was a conscious decision on my part. The half-body thing was a coincidence, but possibly a happy one...
