Some fan-art(-ish) page roughs revisiting an old property!

So!

I'm srsly short on time today, so lemme just say that the following pair of recent Clip Studio Paint page roughs were mainly a test of a possible work process for future writing-oriented pitches; even though most of my upcoming proposals are fantasy-genre-adjacent, I decided to briefly get away from sword 'n' sorcery imagery by instead sketching out a few generic pages of the team from Gen13, a title which I worked on intermittently from 1997-2001 for Wildstorm/DC.

First off, an action-y page:

...and a similarly generic "convo" page, taking place at the old Gen13 series' La Jolla beach house HQ based on Frank Lloyd Wright's famous Fallingwater house (hence the inserted photo):

And here's a randomly "blue-penciled" jpeg variation, because why not:

...and a "work in progress" jpeg from the same page:

Also lurking in my old hard drive's notably underpopulated Gen13 folder is this random scan from 1997's Gen13 Bootleg arc, Grunge! the Movie:

No idea why the hell this cropped jpeg was lurking in said folder, but what the heck.

Anyhoo, this workflow test was a nice change-of-pace break from struggling with depicting fantasy costumes (such as the Paladin's get-up from The Chaste and the Chained, which I've grown to intensely dislike drawing), but I can't say that I'm all that much more enthused about drawing contemporary clothes, either. In any event, as you might expect, this Gen13 test of a page-rough approach proved to take way too much time to produce, so I'd likely be pursuing something akin to those Streetfighter: Juri tight thumbnails if I'm gonna screw around with relatively finished layouts going forward. (Which I might not, TBH.)

Crap, I just blew half a g-d hour on this post, dagnabbit! I'm outta here, folks.

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea, TBH, but something should be coming up in the next M/W/F slot. Let's find out together, shall we?
