Behold, 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 mostly 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? 

UPDATE: Also tacked on layouts for pages 20 & 23 to make the sequence easier to follow, even though Rick penciled those final pages, not me.

Going forward, not sure what I might serialize in comic Work Stages next. I'm extra-dubious about doing this kinda thing with 2005's follow-up miniseries Iron Man: Hypervelocity, as that's a property Marvel actually would care about. I could safely do comic-based Work Stages posts based on the various Empowered Guest Artist one-shots, come to think of it, so I might try something along those lines next.

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?

Would love to see a sequel to this. Any chance of getting the rights? I guess it would be hard to interface with Marvel characters though.

Damn... that ending just begged for a sequel. But it doesn't fit in with Marvel's universe at large, I suppose. :/

Believe me, if the miniseries had sold well enough, the characters would've continued as part of the ol' MU (in a slightly more major role than their fleeting cameos, at least); it didn't, so they didn't.
