While I was in New Mexico, I created a 3-page comic (above) that
depicted my inner thoughts and feelings while I was in my last relationship, as
I was going through it. For my final project, I want to create another comic
also dealing with inner thoughts using abstract symbolism, but on a broader
sense (not just a relationship theme) and obviously longer than 3 pages. I really enjoyed playing with the panels
and multiple personas interacting with each other. I haven’t decided what theme
to focus on, but it’ll have to be something that induces strong emotion to keep
it entertaining and keep me passionate about the project.
My timeline would be conceptualizing the story, completing
page-by-page thumbnails of the story, pencils, and finally inks. Usually the
story and thumbnails take me the longest to do, because once I know what I’m
doing and have a clear map, I can just jump in. The inking, however, took quite
a bit of time for the 3-page comic, because it was so precise.
A goal of my art in general is to evoke a sense of beauty
and disgust for the viewer and I will carry that into this class. For the
purpose of comics, I would like to tell a story that people can generally
follow, despite it being pretty abstract. With this final project, I want to compel
people to look at themselves and how their mind works.
