Pencils

Simon tells me he's almost done inking episode three, so I thought I'd share the pencils of page six and then in a later post compare the finished inks. As you can see Simon puts a lot of work into his pencils.

The script for this page was as follows ...

PAGE SIX
6/1
[ JUSTICE IS DONE. ]
SN standing over the knocked out hoods.
(off-panel) Cop: "You there ... !"

6/2
Undercover cop car, with the cheesy removable red light thing on the roof that they always bring out. A stereo-typical undercover cop in full action pose, gun in both hands, using the open driver's side car door as cover as he points his gun at SN.
Cop: "Freeze, Police!"
[ WAIT ... ONE MORE CRIMINAL!?! ]

6/3
SN leaps so his foot goes through the side window of the car door that the cop is using to shelter behind, kicking the cop squarely in the chest (and as we find out later embedding shards of safety glass in the lining of the cops heart). This can be quite a large frame as long as the next one is inset in the bottom right corner. If you want you can have the cop's gun going off, but missing.

6/4
[ NONE SHALL ESCAPE THE LAW. ]
SN running off, leaving the cop lying on the ground.

NEXT: THE FLAT FOOT
the next episode is from the cop's partner's point of view.
