CC4 Probability Game
#1
Heeeey, so I'm jumping in on the action a bit late, but I might be able to finish something for CC4. I have zero experience with sequential art - I'm finding this really hard! I'll show you what I've got so far.

Story: Romance, starring two characters that feature in an ongoing project that I'm currently writing and illustrating. RUTH is a bit of a player. She likes the ladies, and she's very charismatic. She's an army doctor and physician to the king and she likes to test her combat skills in the ring, usually against massive bulky men. ARGRET is pious and prudish, exceptionally amiable, strong-willed, and compassionate. She's the figurehead of a provincial cult that visits the king's court. The two women clash at first because they have very different opinions on pretty much everything. But when RUTH ends up showing ARGRET her more vulnerable side (and vice versa, actually) they begin to admit that they're attracted to each other. 

[Side note: this all takes place in a kind of fantasy medieval setting in which being gay isn't considered an issue or a big deal- if it's an issue to you, as a reader, then please keep your thoughts to yourself, no need to start the drama :) ]


TL;DR: Ruth is a player. But she and Argret get together when Ruth shows her vulnerable side.

Script:

PANEL ONE: [Narration, ARGRET] 'She played women like a probability game - ' - Panel shows RUTH and A WOMAN backed against a wall, both with lustful expressions.

PANEL TWO: [Narration, ARGRET] 'knew how to double her chances with a winning smile,' - Panel shows RUTH smiling

PANEL THREE: [Narration, ARGRET] 'excelled at medicine, and never forgot to remind the ladies of her 'intimate knowledge' of the human body,' - Panel shows RUTH working on a patient

PANEL FOUR: [Narration, ARGRET] 'and knew that conquests in the ring led to a winning streak in romance.' Panel shows RUTH with a COMBATANT, and she has him in a headlock. If possible, show that they are in a ring and that there is an audience spectating, including women.

PANEL FIVE: [Narration, ARGRET] 'But one night she showed me her vulnerability, the doubts she showed nobody else...' [new section] 'and we realised the one thing we hadn't counted on...' Panel shows RUTH, in a bath, her wounds being tended to by ARGRET. RUTH has pained expression, possibly from wounds, but with the suggestion that she is also confessing her doubts about herself.

PANEL SIX: [Narration, ARGRET] 'Inevitability.' Panel shows RUTH and ARGRET about to kiss.



Photo Studies, in preparation for ARGRET:



From imagination, trying to nailing down RUTH's look and expressions:



Rough Layout:



Slightly More Refined:



Note to self: Probably need to give the last two panels more space - penultimate panel needs to convey a few things, has lots of text, and at the moment doesn't look like it has enough room to do what it needs to do.
