Ok all, got a question. In updating the data base, letterer, inker, etc, most are pretty easy, but I came a cross an issue that has a "breakdowns" and a "finishes".

Finishes: I am going to guess is maybe the inker?
Breakdowns: Possibly the artist?

Anybody know?

Thanks,
Ben

You're essentially correct. The difference between pencils and breakdowns is that breakdowns usually do not have any detail (figures may not everything drawn, including faces). This makes it more work for the inker, as they have to add everything in (therefore, the 'embellisher'). Some well known examples of this would be Frank Miller's Daredevil after the death of Elektra where Klaus Janson was effectively the artist, but going over FM's breakdowns. I believe the same is true of the Wolverine ltd series (with Rubinstein doing the bulk of the work).
