A Rakes Progress - Its a secret to everybody.

I've been thinking what to do for my outcome piece for this Project, and what I'd be developing over the next few weeks and the Christmas holiday.
I've decided to draw key scenes from my version of A Rakes Progress, each scene acting like a storybook page and telling the story as it goes on, which ties nicely into illustration and also will tell the story I've been incredibly eager to tell.

SCENE 1 - Tom explains his game whilst a screenshot of his game is in the background.
SCENE 2 - A disgruntled Tom is confronted by Nicola Shadow.
SCENE 3 - Nicola Shadow shows Tom his hidden wealth, and gives him it before fading away.
SCENE 4 - Tom leaves his game and heads to town, bidding farewell to his game.
SCENE 5 - Tom buys his hideous suit, buys pointless crap and spends his unlimited money.
SCENE 6 - A partying drunk Tom is confronted by Sarah and Major Oak, but he dismisses the two.
SCENE 7 - After staggering into the street, Tom starts a drunken fight with a heroine from another game, but Nicola Shadow corrupts the heroine and nearly kills Tom.
SCENE 8 - After the fight, Tom is cornered by Bug Hunters, virus hunters in the game world who threaten to strip Tom's hero status and wealth and reduce him to a glitched piece of code. Sarah Young stops them but the Bug Hunters already strip Tom of all his money and leave him broke.
SCENE 9 - Tom strikes a deal with a villain called Babaturk, in which Babaturk falsely attacks hubville, Tom stops her and they divide the income.
SCENE 10 - An overly greedy and gambling Tom refuses to give Babaturk her share, resulting in Babaturk showing her true form, Nicola Shadow, the mysterious virus that had started the mess.
SCENE 11 - Shadow explains her backstory. She was a fifth Pacman ghost who was supposed to show up on the final level of Pacman, but due to a problem, she created the infamous Pacman 'Kill Screen'.
She managed to escape the game, but her influence still exists int he game.
Because Tom was ungrateful for what he already had and all Shadow wanted all her life was to have a game to call her own (But could not due to her virus status), she targeted Tom for this reason.
SCENE 12 - Nicola infects Tom with her virus, completley destroying his mind and code through torturous images of pleading NPCs and overpowering responsibility, reducing him to a bumbling glitch, and soon he was taken away by the Bug Hunters, as Nicola Shadow fades away, her work done.
SCENE 13 - A glitched Tom is locked in a glitch vault, Sarah approaches to see him but told that contact with him would glitch her, so teary-eyed, she bids her former suitor farewell and leaves.
SCENE 14 - Years later, a new game called Rakeman 3 is released with a new hero. Sarah and Major Oak were given salvation into the new game, but as the game starts, Sarah looks to the hill and see's a re-purposed Tom, now the penultimate villain of the game and completely oblivious to his past life.
