My way-too-tight layouts for "Unnamed Robot Comic" issue #2, pt.3!
🕑 Added 2021-10-13 13:01:03 +0000 UTC(UPDATE: Here's a link to our previous installment, posted rather a while ago.)
Behold, pages 11-14 of my layouts for issue #1 of 2004's Marvel mecha-team miniseries Livewires, titled here as "Unnamed Robot Comic" as I'm more than a tad dubious about identifying this series of posts publicly. Keep this to yourselves, won't you? (The joke of using the title "Unnamed Robot Comic", by the way, is that Livewires' mecha protagonists consider the term "robot" to be an offensive slur.)
The final art on the series was done by my old bud Rick Mays, but as you can see I cranked out insanely tight, fully dialogued, Sharpie-and-pencils layout pages for the series ahead of time; not only was this approach a faaaar from cost-effective use of my worktime, but in retrospect I feel that these layouts constricted Rick from drawing the beautiful faces and figure work he produced for other books. (Oh, well.)
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: Who knows what might go up next? At the moment, not even me, thanks to the semi-randomized "M/W/F+" posting schedule! Golly!

Yep, still just a cleanup and color-layer away from being ready to publish. Way too tight indeed. OTOH, the result was still a very enjoyable comic.
