Comics 101 for 11/06/2003
Crimson Dynamo #3 - Thumbnails, layouts, and finished pencils

Crimson Dynamo #3 Here's a look at my process of creating the sequential art for Crimson Dynamo #3 from thumbnail drawings to full size layouts and then final pencils.

Crimson Dynamo #3 is in comic book stores now, if you like what you see below please pick up a copy! Here's a little background on this book:
The Crimson Dynamo is an old Iron Man foe who was introduced way back in TALES OF SUSPENSE #46 published in 1963. The original inventor of the Dynamo armor, Anton Vanko, left a secret legacy - a weapon of mass destruction in the shape of a robotic super-suit that neither the Kremlin nor Russian government ever knew existed. The Crimson Dynamo is out there and he's dangerous and now... someone has found it.

Taking its cue from history - both the real history of the former Soviet Union, and the largely unexplored history of Russian superheroes in the Marvel Universe -CRIMSON DYNAMO is a new ongoing series from Marvel Comics.
Below are thumbnails, layout, and finished pencils for Crimson Dynamo #3, page 11.

In addition, take a look at Bill Baker's World Famous Comics interview with John Jackson Miller on Writing Crimson Dynamo and Iron Man.

And as a treat, here's a preview page from the upcoming issue #4 of Crimson Dynamo colored by the talented Thomas Mason of Mental Studios.
