Conner did modeling/art reference work for the Marvel miniseries
Elektra
: Assassin in the 1980s, and for artist Joe Jusko
's Punisher
/ Painkiller Jane
in 2000. Conner was in the wedding party for writer Kurt Busiek
.
Conner, Palmiotti, and writer Justin Gray work together via their multimedia entertainment company PaperFilms. They collaborated on the Terra
miniseries, which premiered in November 2009, and the first 12 issues of the Power Girl
ongoing series
, which were published between 2009 and 2010, both of which Conner penciled. Following her departure from Power Girl, Conner wrote and pencilled a story published in Wonder Woman
#600, which featured a team-up between Power Girl, Wonder Woman, and Batgirl.
While reading each page of a script, Conner does tiny thumbnail sketches with stick figures corresponding to the story indicated on each page, in order to help her design the page's layout. She then does a tighter, more elaborate sketch, though still fairly small compared with the finished artwork, and then blows that up on a photocopier
to the proper original comic art size, which is 10 inches x 15 inches. She then uses "very tight pencils" to light-box it onto Bristol board
, if she intends to have it inked by her husband and collaborator, Jimmy Palmiotti
, but will do the pencils "lighter and looser" if she intends to ink it herself, as she already knows how she wants the artwork rendered. When working on one of her own projects, such as The Pro, she prefers to letter the art herself, before the inking stage, as she appreciates the handmade, organic look and feel of hand lettering, in contrast to the computer lettering with which most books are currently produced. As her artwork is open and lacks much shading, Conner feels that Paul Mounts
is a compatible colorist for her work, as he achieves "the right amount of bounciness or moodiness, depending on what's needed." Conner has stated that her favorite things to draw are facial expressions and body language.
, Jacksonville, Florida
, and Connecticut
. Today she and her husband and frequent collaborator Jimmy Palmiotti
live in Brooklyn, New York.
