Hi all!

I should have updated ages ago! I'll do a new sketch post soon, but at least for now, I can upload some pages from the wordless narrative I completed for my thesis! It is a book about a boy who needs to rescue his sister from her 'pet'/guardian tiger who is stealing her vitality and her light. It's mostly a surreal trip, and was a ton of fun to work on! This is the first half of the book:

Not Dead

I promise I'm not dead! I've been working on a wordless book, I will post concept/finished pieces when it's all done! Don't go anywhere!! In the meantime, have this.

Comic!

Hello all!

After my wonderful trip from Japan (of which the massive update from the trip is still in my drafts), we had a not-so-wonderful project looming over all of our heads! After a couple of all-nighters and a lot of willpower, I finished my first ever original mini-comic! I hope you all like it, I worked really hard! I'm going to tone it and submit it to the SEQA travel anthology; I hope it gets in!

The comic is about two children in the Tokyo Museum: Aoki and Aiden. Aoki finds a hard time relating to her fellow students; she doesn't speak much, so she has trouble making friends. Aiden is an American boy that traveled with his mom for one of her business trips. He doesn't know anyone, but he is very outgoing and adventurous. However, because he can't actually speak any Japanese, he can't make any friends either. The two eventually run into each other and together, with the help from their toys, Mr. Claw and Saba-kun, they communicate and play with one another...without needing to say a word.

Oops again

Just got home back to JER Z and kinda miserable. Anyway, here is some art for you because I kind of lost my will to live and pretty much everything else

Final proj from Seqa Art....IT TOOK FOREVER

We had to make a 4 page long comic from a professional script instead of doing our last sketchbook assignments, and I proceeded to freak out, as I have never done any pages before EVER (Original script here...first 6 actual pages here [Lienel Yu owned me so hard])

Opening city panel, my word, did it take long. This was my first time ever doing actual Sequential pages, let alone a massive future Tokyo cityscape, so yeah. There are tons of errors in these panels, many of which I didn't have time to fix, but now I know for next time (especially after seeing the actual comic pages). Also, I had the choice whether to do a city scape or a MASSIVE 30-FT TALL SAMURAI WAR DROID ERUPTING OUT OF THE FLOOR needless to say I was very sad because they figured the city would be more of a challenge for me :[

Big character reveal- which happens to be my fav page, this also took forever, and he's not quite standing on that floor, but boy was drawing all those bodies both daunting and fun. My prof liked this page as well (one of my classmates actually noticed the slumped [albeit small] body in the b/g over the couch). Good times. Yay for blood covering up perspective lines I don't wish to draw/figure out! :D

"Oh noes stereotypically named Japanese man, please don't kill me!" Hahaha I hate this page, that levitation sequence was painful to do. The class didn't really like Leinel's interpretation of it either, although that could have been only to make me feel a bit better about the SUCK

Prof like the emotion in panel 4 which made me happy. Up and down extreme perspective=not easy

Onward to stuff I actually care about (lol not really [actually I don't mean that at all])

Final from Illo Markets, Hotels.com and the Norovirus book cover (homage to Kenneth unintentionally here)
