Thumbnails vs final pages



I've been sharing these thumbnail vs final page comparisions on social media, and I thought it could be interesting to gather some of them here. I do the thumbnails while I write the script or just after writing it, and it's in this phase where I decide how the page is going to look. After that, I "just" have to draw it!

Comic page, done in blue ink. It shows a journalist asking a scientist, named Zhōu Chih-Tang, what the acronym PAIN means. He answers showing a diagram in a screen, which explains that it means pluripotent artificial intelligence nucleus.

Comic page, done in blue ink. Most of the page shows a screen full of triangles, all of them except three indicate that the AI they refer to is deactivated. A hand holding a BIC pen and a closeup of a face are also shown. They belong to a scientist which says that the development of the activated AIs resembles that of human children, but sped up, and that they behave as siblings.

Comic page, done in blue ink. There are three panels, the first two showing a zoom-in into a neuron, and the third one showing an eye with the iris in the same place the neuron was. The text talks about the difficulty of knowing how self-awareness arises in the human brain.
