A comic page. Scar and Mumbo in superhero outfits slam into the side of their car, bringing it upright. There are skid marks on the road and their tires are smoking. They are surrounded by nondescript black cars on the highway.
Something offscreen shouts, "Assets Hawkeye and Redstoner, this is your final warning."
Scar grins halfheartedly and says, "Well, we had a good run. We could've escaped sooner, that would have been nice. We might have been at Disneyland by now."
Mumbo returns the smile and says, "It was pleasant while it lasted, minus the hostage situation."

Scar closes his eyes and exhales as Grian stares out the window in vague shock. His eyes are unnaturally blue. Scar turns to him and says, "Okay. Grian, you're in luck. The bad guys lost. These nice police officers are gonna arrest us and let you go."
Grian copies, "...Let me go." His eyes are a darker colour than before.
Scar says, "You're a hostage, so your safe."
Grian replies, "They attempted a pit maneuver. On a civilian." He looks angry, eyes now dark brown. "They just tried to kill me! You aren't even holding the gun to my head anymore. And you're running from them to Hermitopolis."

Mumbo looks worried as he scans Grian. The cut-off screen mentions hypnosis, a current percentage, vitals, and an incoming message. Him and Scar flinch when the voice offscreen shouts again. "Assets Hawkeye and Redstoner, we will drag you out kicking and screaming."
Grian looks down to click something on the side of the car and says, "Right, hold on."
Scar looks to him panicked and says, "Grian, I'm very sorry we hypnotised and kidnapped you but now is not the time for—" Grian yanks the wheel to his left and the goes flying, bullets breaking his side of the windows. "—revenge aaah!" Mumbo falls from where he was leaning.

"They think I’m the least dangerous person in this car, do they? Well, they’re about to learn very differently."

Decided to redraw a moment from On the Getaway Mile by Odaigahara on AO3/ @droidofmay !

This may have taken a ridiculous amount of hours condensed into a few days and I went through it drawing cars and car interiors, but this was an absolute blast to do :D I hope I've done the fic sort of justice.

Process shots and long comparison rambles under the cut!

Welcome to my secret lair!!

I spent roughly... 18 hours working on this, the majority during this week and over the past three days, so I need to share my toils with people <3

"They Think I’m The Least Dangerous Person In This Car, Do They? Well, They’re About To Learn Very

Character/car references and page thumbnails! Featuring an incorrect scene placement and bad camera position. I reread the scene and placed it properly in the actual page. I hate drawing cars!! I was actually the most worried about panel placement when I started this— I was a guy who only did non narrative/illustrative panel pages and layout-less comics, but it wasn't that bad with a script! I could separate beats into panels, note which panels should be emphasised/larger, and assembled that into a page.

If you compare the fic with this comic, you can see how much dialogue I edited and moments I cut out. I couldn't fit it all on without having to draw even more pages, I wish I could though! Poor Mumbo only gets one line here. I'm so sorry my darling man <3 I also gave him a slight cyborg design because his implants are really important for his character and I needed some way to visually show that, even if it's not canon/mentioned.

The colouring method for this was really fun! It's similar to my aggie rainbow painting method but with less steps, hence narrow value range. It looks pretty and gets the vibe across well though.

Rapid fire points!

I was planning to do 3 different fic comics! Not anymore!!!

This is absolutely for the hotguy comic zine applications. <3 "Can I try rizzing you up // PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" /ref

I drew page 2 first, then 3, then 1. I think you can tell!

Mumbo is sitting on the wrong side and should have his seatbelt on. He's also not carrying the stolen laptop as described.

It's explicitly noted that Mumbo cannot scan Grian like he can with Scar. Whoops!

Transmissions from the Foundation are via Mumbo and Scar's implants, but I couldn't think of a good way to portray that.

Despite guns and weapons being mentioned, I somehow didn't get the opportunity to draw a single one.

I love hand lettering. I also hate it! I will continue to do it.

Here are the no colour pages as a thank you for scrolling <3
