Graphic Novel underway...

Playing with the text.
Trying to figure out the right font, colour, that works well with the piece...
Here are some examples...
Sorry I forgot to add the drool in some of the close up silhouettes.

CONCRETE


So I based this assignment on this illustration I did earlier and kind of took
another turn with it. The illustration is pasted here, followed by the storyboard. This is the kind of aesthetics I'd go for with the final piece and it would be something like that of MTV logo animations.




I've been kind of toying with another concept and I have a rough storyboard of that pasted here. It's a campaign against pharmaceutical companies and their prescription drug ads that make people THINK they have problems in order to provoke them to spend money on medication they don't even need. My favourites from these are the ads about "lack of eyelashes" and how it's a treatable medical condition and "social anxiety disorders" because we all know how shyness and feeling a little awkward in public are serious psychological problems -- the youtube links for these commercials are posted below. I hate how these companies take insignificant little things that EVERYONE goes through (I guess that's the catch - addressing everyone's problems so everyone feels an inclination towards the purchase?) and turn them into big problem like it's cancer or aids or something...

repercussions of sin storyboard








i tried to make this as detailed as i possibly could within the time-frame, but I do feel like it needs more work.

Week 3 : 4/5 part narrative - STORYBOARD

I did not draw my character(s) to detail as that would take a loooong time (I haven't completely developed how I want it to look).  So this is just the basic storyboard

Later when I looked at this again, I started rethinking two things:
1) Perhaps the depiction of the "houses making dark clouds" in panel 14 shouldn't be so literal.
2) Also the last panel may be something more subtle than something literal - although that was the original image that I based the whole poem on, perhaps it's a better ending to not have it so literally when it's put together as a story.
