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.

That is how it's done. It's why I asked if you were so dead against Postwork (which I understand. Speed counts) The advantage of a simple informational render is that it's fast. Consider this. I did the first one hundred fifty pages or so as simple renders then I corrected, inked and don't forget you have to add dialogue and compose the page. I don't know what you're using for the final comic. I use Comic Life 3.
