Got the cover art finished for an upcoming story called "[i]The Seven -Darke- Adventures of Christopher the Pizza Guy[/i]". If you haven't seen the individual drawings of the ladies pictured with Chris, you can see them here (https://www.sofurry.com/browse/folder/art?by=221847&folder=53410).

No ETA as of yet on the story as I have other projects to finish, but I will get this one eventually.

[b]Basic plot:[/b]
Christopher works at a pizza joint -- one night the delivery guy unexpectedly quits and walks off, leaving the manager in a lurch. Christopher gets tapped to make the last delivery run of the night to an out-of-the-way business. Christopher carefully stacks the pizzas on the back of his scooter and heads off to make the delivery. On the way, while listening to an oldies station on the radio, he hears the song "[i]On the Dark Side[/i]"--when he arrives at the address, somewhere in his mind he starts putting two and two together, as the building is old and dark looking, flanked by new buildings on either side. When he gets up to the front door, there's no sign, only a doorbell button with a plaque that reads, "AFTER HOURS PUSH BUTTON". There is no sign of what the hours might be, so he reaches for the button and...the door unlatches on its own and opens a little with an ominous creak. Christopher pushes the door open and enters a foyer with another door, this time with frosted glass and the company logo painted on. The company is called "The Darke Angelz Personal Security Agency", and the logo is not exactly a happy looking one. A nice female voice calls out, "Come on in!" so Christopher opens the door and walks into an open office area...with several very hungry-looking predators all looking at him and smiling. He gulps, not quite sure if the smiles are for the pizzas that he's carrying, or because he just might be "fresh meat".

After the initial delivery, Christopher becomes the ladies' new favorite pizza delivery guy (they specifically request him). As time goes along, he ends up meeting each gal individually out on the town, and has something of an "adventure" with each. Each episode after the opening will be about Christopher and one of the gals.

Part-1: "She's a Beast!" -- starring Arlene Crusher, the wolverine;
Part-2: "The Princess" -- starring Anuktata, the jackal;
Part-3: "Let's Do the Bristol Stomp" -- starring Corina Cloudstrike, the secretary bird;
Part-4: "Bonding" -- starring Dominique Bonesnapper, the striped hyena;
Part-5: "A Hell of a Good Time" -- staring Sheila Diabolous, the Tasmanian devil;
Part-6: "The Darkest Angel" -- starring Angel Nightclaw, the ocelot;
Part-7: "A Slice of Heaven" -- starring Mikayla Novbrenski, the human secretary;
Part-8: "Shakedown" -- starring the Darke Angelz, who go on a mission to free Christopher from thugs.

Now, I have theme songs for most of the gals so far:

Angel Nightclaw -- "[i]You Give Love a Bad Name[/i]"
Anuktata -- "[i]Walk Like an Egyptian[/i]" (tentative)
Corina Cloudstrike -- "[i]Thunderstruck[/i]"
Arlene Crusher -- (?)
Dominique Bonesnapper -- "[i]Tained Love[/i]"
Sheila Diabolous -- "[i]Devil Woman[/i]"
Mikayla Novbrenski -- "[i]Stand by You[/i]" (tentative)

For the last part, the song, "[i]Shakedown[/i]" by Bob Sieger.

Enjoy the art and the info...I'll get to writing the story as soon as I can get to it. It's going to be full of Darke humor. ;)
