Hello Everybody! How are you all doing?
Today I want to talk about another class project I made not so long ago. After so much exploration into the artist’s inner psyche AKA “me”. The professor decided to assign us to make our own comic book story. I liked my story. I wished for it to turn out the way I envisioned it. But it didn’t. It doesn’t mean that I can go back and fix it.
I am not going to lie, but I hate working in group projects. The creating our own comic book was okay. But the working in groups part was so stressing. It is even worse when you are the group’s leader. I made the characters, and wrote the story. The only thing left was to draw the story sequence. We finished the story on time. I am very certain that I will never take part in a group project ever again.
So what was the story about?
It was about feeling stuck into being something that you weren’t. It was a place or a state of mind that was forcing you to be what they wanted you to be. So the main character gets tired of living this way. She can’t be who she wants to be without going against the norms. There are some characters who tries to do the same but end up giving up. The antagonist is a beast that sets up these rules to control people and to enjoy the comfort. The place that the story is set is in a urban and dull looking city that feels a lot like a maze.
One of my characters is a Mon. I didn’t give it any thoughts to the characters’ names. So she is a female dressed in all black from head to toe. She has a large pair of butterfly wings. But she can’t or isn’t allowed to fly. At first her wings are dark. As the story moves on her wings change to a lighter color. Mon is tired of being suppressed. Society is always forcing her to be someone or something that she isn’t. So she starts to find a way how to get out and be free.
The other character is the Beast. For being a beast they are very pretty. It has no gender, but it prefers to appear more like a female. It’s true appearance it’s very disturbing. Even I can’t look at it. So the beast is every vain and narcissistic. Vile and crude. This is the antagonist of the story. They controls the city and keeps everyone trapped in it. It is always watching knowing a step ahead your every move. They love to be admired and worshiped and the center off all the attention.
To make this story I got inspired by so many things. I used details from the members of my group. This story was almost written in a day. It was like if I knew it all along. There is a hint of the Myth of the Minotaur. I like this story. I wished it worked a bit better. There are some other stuff about life basic issues. We took personal things about ourselves and did a brain storming with it. From that brainstorming I came up with the story.
So there you have it another class artwork. I still have a few more out there to show you. After so much digging up I found a lot more class art projects. I have enough for the rest of the year. A have others that are so large that I have to show you a photograph instead of a scan. Thing about art makes me want to have time to do some. Now these days I work nonstop. It feels like I am living at work now. I’m better paid, but you know. I do miss my “Me Time”.
