I feel ya! I don't hate postwork but I could without it. You want to automate as much of the process as you can. Working 40 hours a week, the MOST I could hope to churn out was 3 pages a week. That was it. If I could eliminate Postwork or Rendering, that would be wondrous but there is no easy art button. So...

Well, I don't know what I don't know yet, but I'm getting the feeling that the faster way to do stuff that still has some artistic merit is going to be to go with 'informational' renders that just provide enough info for a 100% paint-over. That way I don't even need to worry much about costume, just get in the ball-park. After all, I've invented that stuff from scratch for years, but it's a lot faster the more accurate the reference material is. If I go that route, Firefly seems adequate, since the actual renders will be invisible in the finished product.
