Clara Comics: Concepts and wordlbuilding with John Kenn Mortensen.

John Kenn Mortensen is an old student form The Animation workshop and is now a well known Danish illustrator and cartoonist.

WHat a lot of people know him for is his "post it monsters" creating an absurd and dark world full of cute kids and monsters..

Unfortunate I could only be a part of this class the last two days and didn't have time to do more than one of the assignments.

The concept was to "Steal" a High concept, made from one of the other students - by stealing it means take a part of this high concept idea and create something new - it could be the story, a character, a detail or a design - from this High concept we should create a low concept idea (for a comic) and pitch it the following day.

I stole my high concept from my Student friend Jam - making a story about a magic world where wizards creates a magic drug. This drug accidently ends up in the hands of a human - and they turn crazy and gets the powers of a wizard.

This is some character concepts for a minor school assignment -
"Low" concept is more character based than High concept.

This is my character Draskó
- A Human in space - living “in the past”. For the fun of it - He likes to transport himself around in his wooden boat or and renewed bike, even though he has to use more powers.
He dresses very colorfully and mixes different kind of old, native uniforms.
He works as a professor and teaches both humans and aliens about the plants and flowers from earth.
Even thought he already turned 60 - every female student has a crush on him.

He is bright and sharp - calm and serious - spiritual and peaceful - He would never use violence in any form. Still he has no real family and never opens up to any one.

This is the space girl/alien girl - Niin - She is the main character and the up server. She wants to escape but has a passion and a need of knowing everything around her - SHe hates secrets. But she can be pretty naïve. He parents are in the alien Force and they have let her down, by overprotecting her and lying to her. By underestimating her, they end up not noticing her getting out In trouble.
