- Here's the original sketches for pages eight and nine. What I wanted at the time was the female character to finish her burger and talk to the other guy about stuff, then she pulled up the disk with a crack in it (the same disk from a previous issue). Originally I wanted this to be a plot heavy issue but after a while I thought I should have an issue of people just chilling. <...

- This was the original idea for pages six and seven. What I wanted was a somewhat of a flashback, the girl from the previous issue is safe and now eating a burger in a bar with the person who helped her up.
- While sketching I thought I would cut some time by using some 3D objects to create a background. At that moment in time I wanted to try and create backdrops using 3D objects and ele...

- Here's a rough mock up of the last page. What I wanted was this new character to show off her A-star Hero costume, while the two main villains look shocked. For designing the page I reused a pose as a reference while reusing the background from a previous page I've worked on before.

- Here's the original idea I had for page thirty-two. Instead of sketching the poses using my pen tool I decided to use a certain 3D model to pose and move around to get the right angles and see how it would look in the panels. This was my original idea but I ended up changing it due to lack of inspiration. What I wanted for this page was a transformation sequence.

- Here's the original mock up of page thirty. What I wanted was her to show off her morpher which is a cassette tape and a cassette player. I decided to sketch the top panel and use 3D for the bottom two panels so that I could have an idea of what I wanted for the poses and so I can see how far I can push the perspective.

For these pages I wanted the two heroes to spring into action and save another student who's being bullied by one of the bully characters. While sketching I decided to reuse the pose for the top panel of page twenty one so that I would have a rough idea of what I wanted. Then I decided to work on the backgrounds for the middle panel, th...
