Jake and Max, The Outsiders Comic Book

In the very beginning we both came up with character designs (what each character would look like). We did not use what the characters in the movie looked like at all. We came up with what the characters looked like on our own. We had this idea that something written on their shirt would represent there name or their personality. For example Soda had CocaCola written on shirt and Two-bit had LoL written on his shirt. We did some shirt designs that required going back into the book. We had to check Dally's description in order to come up with the idea of the I skull New York shirt (opposite of and I heart New York shirt). We split up the work equally, Max did the drawings and I went over it in pen and thought what parts of the story we should include what not to. We together came up with Ideas for what should go on which page/panel. We went over to each others houses sometimes and we always got a lot done then. We really worked on making our panels different sizes. We even decided to do a panel the size of an entire page for a birds eye view of the rumble. We also decided to add lots of detail we showed a bruise mark on Soda's face for a few panels after he got punched, and when Tim first appeared his hair cast shadows on his face and the moon was reflected in his eyes. We made his scar stand out a lot as well. We had a lot of fun making this comic book.
