EMPOWERED & SISTAH SPOOKY #5 thumbnails, pt.2
🕑 Added 2019-10-08 13:01:00 +0000 UTCWhoops, forgot to post these in September!
Above are my thumbnails for issue #5 of 2018's Empowered and Sistah Spooky's High School Hell, a six-part miniseries written by me, drawn by Carla Speed McNeil, and colored by Jenn Manley Lee. Previous roughs from issue #5 are here; and more info on the overall project here.
Now, with the previous issues, such as #3, I posted the thumbnails only in their original "quad" format, as seen above. Howeva, it's occurred to me that the roughs might be more appealing if I cropped 'em to show a single page at a time, as seen below.
A new thing I'm doing is to tack on Carla's art for the pages afterward, as seen below. Last time I attached the inks; this time, I'll try the pencils.
Whoops, the memory size for this text section's gonna be huge, so I'll mostly just stick to my (cropped-off) thumbnails, okay?
Wait, Carla's art for this Infernal Service Provider "sneering rant" page is delightful; I'll attach the inks below. The panel with cartoony Spooky running against the herd cracks me up.
This closing scene for the issue's brutally cold-blooded, gotta say.
The mass murder of the other magical blondes by Queen Bee Ashley and second-in-command Ashlee (to acquire the others' magic for themselves) is Willy-Pete-worthy brutality, save for the fact that ol' WP would never be quite so cold-blooded and calculating.
Next month, we (finally) wrap these roughs up. Huzzah!

This was a really good book!

The artist usually makes such changes on her own; unless the alterations are truly jarring (which has never happened, as far as I can recall), I don't object.

Carla's take on page fifteen is amazing! When it comes to changing your layouts, how does the communication work for that between you and the artist?
