S'more digital page roughs!

Note: I'm more than a tad dubious about posting very much recent Marvel content on this Patreon, hence my choice to avoid mentioning in public what project these roughs are from.

Anyhoo!

Since I posted the first few pages of my Procreate digital roughs for the Marvel one-shot Venom: The End a while back, I decided, "Why not post a few more?" And lo, here are my Procreate-app thumbnails for pp.4-9 of the 30-page, eons-spanning, SF-infused epic.

I swear that I'm not fond of of doing such insanely tight and restrictive page roughs, given how little "play" they give an artist to work with. But as Venom: The End's sprawling narrative was rife with abstract concepts and montages—and even abstract montages!—I felt I had no choice but to roll with such very, very specific layouts. Along those same lines, the script for this 30-pager was a ginormous 92 pages(!) long, due to having to explain all the g-d novel concepts and settings appearing with each new page.

In fact, the grueling experience of scripting, laying out, and shepherding this single one-shot to its complication-heavy conclusion changed my mind about a long-planned future SF-comic pitch (that is, Project X); more on that subject later.

I'll likely post more of these digital page roughs from the one-shot from time to time, if y'all wanna see more of 'em.

Tomorrow: Another DiD Wednesday post for the $5 tiers continues the cocktail-dress distress of a familiar damsel!
