thir0 of 'hich shoul0 be a splash panel1:

Panel 1: We see an aerial ie' of a cliff2si0e at 0usk. !n the

cliff2si0e there is a roa0 going from si0e2to2si0e an0 top2to2

bottom. !n this roa0 2some'here in2bet'een the bottom an0 top 2

there is one person. We can see that this person is on a

motorc%cle3 ho'eer 'e cannot see his features. $e is little more

than a sha0o'. Along the e0ge of the roa0 'e can see metal

guar0rails. We see that it is a barren place 'ith little or no

The roa01 is a blur. We can also see a foot 'hich is reste0 on a

black, metal bar. We can see that the foot is 'earing generic

black boots. We can see the boots in their entiret%, until the%

We can also see that in2bet'een the en0 of the boot an0 the

misse0 b% the casual rea0er.

Panel 3: We can no' see the left si0e of E6ekiel an0 his bike as

it 0ries 0o'n the cliff2si0e roa0. We see it as though 'e are

looking from the groun0 up. E6ekiel is a man 'ho looks to be in

his mi02thirties, although he coul0 2technicall%2 be much, much

ol0er. $e is a er% muscle0 man 2 'hich is something that is er%

clear in this panel 2 'ith 0eep purple skin an0 er%

0istinguishe0 blue eins at arious points. $e 'ears a tarnishe0black leather 4acket 2 'hich is the e7act same sha0e of black as

'hich protru0es out be%on0 his e%es leaing a sha0o' oer them

an0 giing him a more m%sterious 2 an0 ferocious 2 look to him.

We see that his hea0 is leaning for'ar0 an0 his e%es 2 'hich are

black 'ith %ello' pupils 2 seem to be looking to'ar0s the sk%. We

can see that his nostrils are flare0 an0 his lips are in a sortof snarl. !erall 'e see that he looks 0etermine0, an0 tire0 2 as

there are obious 0rops of perspiration on his forehea0. The bike

that E6ekiel ri0es is t%pical chopper 'hich can be 0ra'n at

artist5s preference, as long as it is ei0ent that there is no

secon0 space behin0 E6ekiel for another passenger, an0 that the

gas tank is 0ra'n is such a 'a% that someone coul0 lean for'ar0

PAGE #ie Panels1:

Panel 1: We see a close2up of E6ekiel5s left han0 grasping thebar of his bike. We see thick, 0istinguishe0 knuckles that gie

us the assumption that E6ekiel has been in a fair fe' scuffles in

his time, all of 'hich he most likel% 'on. We also see a ring on

his little finger 2 something 'hich 'as not seen in the preious

panels. It is a small gol0 ring 'ith a re0 gem embosse0 into it

an0 small black 0ot 'ithin the re0 gem. We are gien the

impression that it is e7pensie, e.g. glimmering90a66ling.

)o *ialogue

Panel 2: We no' see a close2up of E6ekiel5s face. We see multiple

scars, an0 rough fie o5clock sha0o'. We see the 0rops of

perspiration much clearer on his bro'. We no' also see a glimpse

of his teeth, 'hich are a strange mi7 of molars an0 canines.

There are also slight chips in some of them.

Panel 5: We no' see from the point2of2ie' of the guar0rail as

E6ekiel ski0s aroun0 the ben0. We see him leaning a'a% from the

guar0rail as he turns, all the 'hile making sure that 'e onl% see

the left si0e of him an0 the bike. We also see a signpost before

the ben0 that rea0s: <+areful *angerous Ben0=. We also see the

ski0 mark on the roa0.

Panel 5: We see E6ekiel an0 his bike5s left si0e as though 'e are

behin0 them has lo'ere0 an0 that sk% can be seen. We can see a

bolt of lightning that comes 0o'n half'a% bet'een E6ekiel an0 his

bike. We see that half of him is lit up 'hile the other half is

0ark. We can see 0etermination on E6ekiel5s face.

Panel 6: We see E6ekiel from the same angle as last time, e7cept

the fence bor0ering the fiel0. We still see the look of

0etermination on E6ekiel5s face.

+AP:

PAGE / panels1

Panel 1: We see a back2left ie' of the bike going up on it back

'heel. We can also see a scarecro' on a pole in the fiel0 behin0,

it is small in the backgroun0. The scarecro' is not an oerl%

important aspect of the shot or of the 'ork in its entiret%, I4ust put it in because I 'ante0 it to be a piece of s%mbolism in

the backgroun0. It 'as a tribute to The Wrestler b% Bruce

(pringsteen as the l%rics feature a scarecro' fille0 'ith nothing

but 0ust an0 'heat, an0 I 'as hoping to use all of the images

Panel 2: We no' see a close2up of the space bet'een the gas tank

an0 E6ekiel5s torso so that there is a clearer shot of the

scarecro' in the backgroun0, ho'eer if the artist feels the nee0

to remoe the scarecro' from the preious panel then the% coul0

back up a bit an0 hae us look up at E6ekiel5s 0etermination an0

Panel 1: We are no' looking at the sk%, a sk% 'hich is no' ma0e

Panel 2: We are no' at the top of a hill, oerlooking the barren

place belo'. In this other'ise barren place 'e can see Paulie5s

Bar. It is a plain2looking, ol02fashione0 buil0ing 'ith a 'oo0en

eran0a at the front. We can also see a reasonable2si6e0 parking
