6 X 6
Momentum
“Supersonic
Free-Falling In Love”
By Ken Henningsen
PAGE 1 (6 PANELS)
Six panel page 1. Panel one is a large vertical panel on the
left side of the page. Panels 2-6 are smaller horizontal panels running down
the right side of the page. A man is taking a space dive from an extremely high
orbit, almost space. The first panel should be him stepping out of a high orbit
capsule, reference for this can be found online. Panels 2-6 should show him
falling, his figure is very large in the second panel and very small by panel
6. North America should be shown in the distance.

PAGE 2 (5 PANELS)
Five horizontal panels starting in the upper left hand
corner and descending like a staircase until the last panel is in the bottom
right hand corner. There will be background negative space not filled with
panels on this page, those should be lightly detailed with sky and clouds.
Beautiful blue azure coloring. Each panel should be a 45 degree head down side
profile shot of the space diver as he rockets towards the earth.

PAGE 3 (SPLASH PAGE)
Downward shot of the space diver as he falls towards the
earth. He’s getting closer so there should be details of distant fields and
houses on the ground, lots of greens and tans. No captions on this page, just a
beautiful expansive shot of the dive.
PAGE 4 (5 PANELS)
Five horizontal panels stacked on top of each other
descending down the page. Each panel should show the space diver getting closer
and closer to the earth, artist’s full
discretion on how to portray this.

and rustic in all of the panels.
