Comic
Some reference images we took and downloaded for this task
I helped our graphic designer with coming up with cover designs for the comic book. she wasn't able to get photoshop to work that day so I got an opportunity to play around with it and mix in the graphic work she did with other colors and some photographs I took.
In the end she actually preferred the fully black and white version I edited. So I'm pretty happy that I was able to help out.

Me and the team sat around in a circle in the kitchen and began coming up with wild and whacky ideas to do with the 'three blind mice' poem. we decided in the end it'd be an analogy for three greasers being butchered and murdered by an old lady, the conflict begins as self defense but soon becomes a bloodbath of an old lady with a katana and near super-human ability with the blade. And three young men who are immensely out of their depths.
this is one of the planning papers where we came up with agreed upon characteristics of the characters which we could then draw in our own styles. that way even though the style changes it's clearly still about the same topic and it's clearly the same story due to the continuity of the objects and how the characters look the same.

Guy sees his dead friend, has a mental breakdown and a fight or flight response, drops his knife in a panic. has the lady lunge at him with a katana.
then he turns away to start running, worries about his fate and makes a plan in his mind to try to run away into the forest, or maybe to run home.

the guy with glasses is stabbed through his chest and as he looks around to face his attacker says "Rats" which is meant to be like "Drat" except it's changed to be more of a pun considering the comic is called three blind mice, and mice are similar to rats. Then he dies and we see gravestones.
