8 page comic! "Moon Seed"

The past three weeks we have had 3 different teachers all helping us out in the process of making an 8 page comic. (a4 size)

1 week we worked with "world creation" supported by Thomas Thorhauge (http://sacre-bleu.dk/)
We all spend one day developing a setting as a sketch; A place, a time, and maybe some characters, witch could be a foundation for a story. Everything should be open for further work.
This was My result:

"A communist bathhouse for Chinese soldiers - somewhere in china.

 

At the end of the school day it was then revealed, that we were not suppose to work on our own setting, but the setting of our neighbor student.

 

My NEW setting, which I would have to work with the following two weeks was then : "Russian village in the age 900 - invade by Vikings ".

 

We then started to build up ideas for stories, making sketches and character design. In the end of the week we had to make a PITCH to the rest of the class - "selling" our idea. For this we had to be clear about our story line, our characters and the title.

 

 

The second week of the 8 page comic project went with making thumbnails, page layouts and a final pencil version of the comic supported by Johan F. Krarup (http://jfkra.dk/)

We had ONE day to make our thumbnails (: miniature quick sketches of the whole comic including the story line and a bit of layout - only for us to read)

 

This was then my final 8 page pencil version.

In the third week of the project we had to work with INKING styles supported by Lars Horneman (http://larshorneman.blogspot.dk/)

Before inking our comic we spend two days on trying out different inking styles/finished product styles.
Day one we had to work with a panel from our own comic making it in 3 different styles. Here is two of them.

 

Day two we had to ink a page from another persons comic.  This was my page:

 

 

In the end we had three days of inking our own 8 page comic.

My plan was to have mine made in black, white and then a yellow tone (as the styles above)

But time past quick and in the end I only finished it in black an white. For the inking I used an old type of brush and a dip pen - correcting things in Photoshop.

 

So this was my result!

I call the comic:

MOON SEED
