PANLESSS

We have decided for the cut scenes in the game to have them as comic book/graphic novel pages/strips and thats what i have been working on! We have decided to do a practice cut scene to see if this will work out.  Here i have written the cut scene and done rough panels for it.  At a later time i may alter the script and panels.  The colours represent the person talking and the numbers represent the units of action (this is just how i work and keep things organized!)  I am using a book to help me with this, How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way by Stan Lee and Josh Buscema.  Its a really good and helpful book!  I am also looking at ImagineFX Presents Comic Art, again very helpful!

SCRIPT

the two are in their car, a red Austin Metro 1993, The Brit is driving and the Yank in the passengers seat.

Yank : 1 Man, I'm so tired. My head's killing me, 2 Can feel it rattle against my skull.  Eeeeurghhh....

Brit : 3 See, shoulda gone easier on the drinks last night. It's your own fault.

Yank : 4 Hey! I was doin' just fine last night!  Going onto my new record of how many pints i can drink in a         minute-

Brit : 5 Except you didn't.  You choked on your second pink and almost vomited everywhere.

Yank : 6 Well it's your fault! You were staring me out!

Brit : 7 I was just watching you drink! And fail miserably.

Yank : 8 What ever man! I woulda had that in the bag...

*pause* *looks at watch*

9 8am? -sigh- 10 Man why can't people die at 1pm on a Wednesday or something?  Not having to be called out at 8am on a Sunday morning.

Brit : 11 Heh, yeah but what can you do? It's work. 12 Can't exactly tell murderers"Hey! Kill in the middle of the day, not early in the morning or on a weekend!"

Yank : 13 Haha! "or on Mondays or Friday night! As i wanna be getting every whore that comes through my door~!"

ROUGH PANELS

NEATER PANELS

here are the panel frames that are much neater.  these maybe adjusted before i start drawing.  When i do the final, i want to do it by hand with ink and then colour it on Painter 12.  I want this comic scene to look like it was from the 80s with the classic paneling layout and style, but jazzed up a little bit to fit the comedy and quirkyness of the story and characters.
