Bad ideas in Invincible

Description

Ok so I want you guys to know that while I draw Invincible I have ideas from time to time to put into Invincible, sometimes I call up Robert and let him know and he says yes or no, or other times I just go ahead and draw something in. And of course sometimes he likes them, and sometimes he dislikes them. Here are three examples from some newer issues where he wasn’t too fond of them and asked them to be changed. And I’m fine with it, it’s great working with Robert and I’m glad he puts up with me even though I do this kind of stuff.

1. First off is the designing of the Evil invincibles for issue 58. He said just go to town on them. Due to time constraints trying to get the books out on time I was just designing as I drew the panels.

The first one is household items Mark, his first costume. I thought it was a cool idea kinda like Flaxan mark, or the burned Mark from the Viltrum prison, it just shows the reader there is a back story without telling them the story. I thought Mark stuck in his first ever made costume would be interesting. Like maybe Nolan left much earlier than he did in our dimension therefore he hasn’t met Art the Taylor yet.
And now we have Prophet mask Invincible with swords. Yeah I agree with Robert, dumb idea. heh.

Mark with a baseball hat on I thought was cool, like he’s still working at burger mart and wants to advertise a bit, heh, ok dumb idea. BUT Robert did say in the script to draw an evil Invincible with a “cap” on his head. He meant have the costume cover his hair, not an actual cap. I’ve never heard the term cap for how he wanted it so I drew it how I pictured it.

And the last one I still think is a good idea, Zombie Mark! Robert wasn’t too into it because he’s done quite a lot with Zombies and he really doesn’t want them overused in his other books. I can see his point. But it still woulda been fun to draw him fighting.

2. Now below the Evil Invincibles is a panel where I broke the panel border with a butt squeeze! Revolutionary I say! Robert’s problem with it was it looked like the panel border was riding up Eve’s backside. I can see how that could be a problem, a papercut there would be super painful.

3. And now the last one, this one made it all the way to colors before it was cut. I love the mohawk evil Invincible, I think he’s nuts, just completely crazy and totally punk rock. He not only demolishes everything in his path like the other evil Invincibles but he also desacrates when he can, and I think he’d hate the world so much that he WOULD jam the torch up lady liberties bum. Robert thought it ruined the scene, just too distracting.

And that’s my most recent bad ideas. More coming soon, probably. ;)
