Concept Comic Art

Page 2Page 3Page 6Page 7Wow! entire day of colouring and after starting at 11:30am I have finally finished at 1:00am

this is my entire story. if your read it in order it sort of makes sense but its really not.

Page 1 : Man goes to front door, unlocks door with a Click, and goes up the stairs to his apartment.

Page 2 : He he washes his hands.

Page 3 : As he washes his hands his hands deform and an explosion from the sink pushes him away.

Page 4 : The explosion from the sink trashes his apartment leaving him in an empty room in shock.

Page 5 : A broom falls over notifying Man that there is a giant set of pure white curtains.

Page 6 : He investigates the curtain.

Page 7 : He opens the curtain and dark red liquid pushes him.

Page 8 : He falls to the floor and he drops a bottle of pills and a gun.

Page 9 : he takes the gun and puts it to his head alone in the empty room, Click.

More Comic Work

Have whizzed through 5 of the 9 pages of this comic book brief. unfortunately the next 4 pages are a set of 2 double page spreads so i can't imagine them being the easiest... hence being last to be done. this is the first time i have properly used photoshop to colour work and so far I'm impressed at myself (I had imagined a far worse turn out)

This has been a very influential brief and I have been enjoying it and can only see it opening new doors to explore for my late work. I shall most defiantly be using photoshop more, and getting a better graphics tablet.

Back to work on these double page spreads...

Comic Art Last Page

This is page nine of my comic/ concept art.

to be honest its a very simple page and didn't take me very long to do for obvious reasons the hardest decision with this page was background colour, my brief did not allow dark atmosphere limiting my use of black. this lead me to take a leaf out of my sisters work for kronos city and work with dark reds.
If possible I will post the rest of my pages along with some rough work (if my A4 scanner works for a change that is)

Pen Work

Considering this is the first time I've used a brush pen I think that it turned out quite well this is the first and last pages of a 9 page comic.

Concept/ Comic Ideas

I have not been able to post any updates in a while due to having so much work to do at uni. But the work is paying off and by next week I shall have roughs scanned and ready to post.

Currently the brief I am focusing the majority of my efforts on is my narrative brief.

it started as soon as the summer holidays were over, so its been a lot of work, at the start we were told to chose a genre of book/film/comic and being the horror buff, you can imagine what i chose. we were told to point out just ten cliches and essentials in our genre.

for horror mine were as follows :

• Dark atmosphere
• Entices emotions of fear, terror and horror
• Involves themes of death, supernatural and/or mental illness
• Plays on insecurities
• Fast vivid shots (film)
• Suspense driven
• Contains subtle yonic and phallic imagery
• Violence
• Causes tension
• Artistically creepy

Of course i later found my characteristics of a horror was very detailed perhaps too detailed, especially when i found that the later majority of the brief was to create a set of images or comic book that still falls within our chosen genre but doesn't follow any of our ten characteristics.

However through loopholes and knit picking at what I might have meant rather than what i did mean i have managed to write my story. initially a comic but its slowly progressed to more of conceptual art. although still in the roughs stages, which are particularly scratchy, work nonetheless is very much on the way. I'm looking forward to what i churn out as to be honest where I'm at surprises myself!

Life Drawing

This is some life drawing sketches I did last year. Its nothing special but the start of my posts of old work I'm proud of.

Another Karl

This is another drawing I did for the Kronos City blog. Unfortunately it will have to stay as a line drawing as I am swamped with uni work, some of which I will post soon.
