WORK STAGES on my UNNAMED ROBOT COMIC pages, pt.10!
🕑 Added 2022-09-05 13:01:04 +0000 UTCBehold, following up on an earlier post of layout pages from Unnamed Robot Comic (better known as 2004's mecha-team miniseries Livewires), here are the work stages on a lengthy stretch of issue #6, the climax of the series, that I wound up almost entirely penciling myself, as opposed to leaving the work to series penciler Rick Mays; I did so either for deadline reasons or because the pages in question were heavily technical.
So, in the image gallery above, you'll see my initial layout pages again, then my finished pencils for the page (or panel), then inker Jason Martin's inks for the pages. (Alas, this time around, I don't have jpegs for coloring studio Guru eFX's final colors on this issue.) Yay?
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: As I continue to roll with the M/W/F posting schedule, I've no idea at present as to what's coming up next, but something should be going up on those weekdays, okay?

Yeahp, this was from an era when Marvel's RUNAWAYS was apparently achieving some degree of crossover popularity with manga readers via this wee format. Needless to say, LIVEWIRES emphatically did NOT garner such popularity.

Holy cow, 5X8"? I guess they were hoping to sneak this onto the manga shelves of the bookstores!

Not that much more expensive on the secondary market, honestly. I'll take a look when it comes in and let you know! Digital might be the right answer tho.

Alas, brace for disappointment, as LIVEWIRES was (AFAIK) collected only in a compact TPB format with crappy paper stock that makes for a bit of a challenge to read. I recommend the digital comic if possible, or maaaaybe the individual "floppy" issues, which might be tricky to find but probably wouldn't be all that expensive.

Having seen all the behind the scenes stuff. a copy of the GN is winging it's way here now. because this is a darn good story I missed out on previously!
