Free-For-All: First Rough

At first glance, this is an extremely confusing rough, but it also includes my adjustments with not too much erasing of the elements I decided against.
At the top of the sketch you can see I scrawled “undertaker,” “katie” and “kenny.” Under each I wrote down a short list of items each is to use as a weapon. Undertaker gets a chair (of course,) Katie can wield a deadly cooking utensil (like a ladle — cause a knife is too violent and too obvious.) As I researched Kenny Chesney, I found out he had injured his foot in a stage accident at the beginning of the tour, so I’m putting a cast on him and letting him swing his guitar.
Now, in this compact composition, I’ll need to gain a little breathing room, as I want these character’s faces to be the main attraction. Note that I’ve included in the image, gray arrows that show where I want each combatant to move — away from center. I’ll work this til I’m satisfied the composition can work visually and it’s logical to the action. Then I’ll do a tighter rough, fleshing out the particulars and post it Wednesday.

Enjoy this now and hear me later!
