I'm definitely on a roll now. Well, either that or doing a sequence that took place entirely in mid-air makes the backgrounds easy. Either way, here's page eighteen. I'm officially 75% done now. Not counting the alternate cover I have to do yet, of course.
As I mentioned in my last post, here's where my Iron Man analog, Steel Worker, makes his appearance. Essentially it's the joke that I did on the cover with a little more texture. For a concept I came up with in three hours or so, it's actually pretty slick, I think.
I gave Steel Worker a jet pack that, although we never see it do so, folds in to the backpack part of the armor. Just warning you in case we ever see him again.
Yeah, it may be cheap to do the Iron Man joke, but it helps tie the book into the movie and, more importantly, Free Comic Book Day. Cross-promotion and synergy, baby, that's what it's all about.
