Last post


this is most likely going to be my last post until after the summer so im going to upload the finished render of the room i made. I sorted every thing out :)

Evaluation

The image below is my end product I did make a lot of changes like changing the hole character that I was going to use I started with Brian (the bog out of family guy) but when I was seeing if I could draw him to a standard I was happy with. I found getting the proportions right was very hard in one of my drawing I ended up making fat brain that was in one of the episodes so I started looking for a character that had more detail so focus was not of proportions in the end I settled on the evil monkey that is in Chris bedroom I liked this character because he is bit of a mystery and it turns out I found him much easier to draw. But this was before I decided on a story so it didn’t interrupt any of my plans in the future but then I had the sorted out I stayed with most of my over planes like the layout and story one think I change because I was told I should have bigger transitions from scene to scene so I decided to have the jump from the monkey realising that he missed his wife and instead of putting one of him in the plane flying over to her. I went strait to him getting off the plane and running into the forest (middle box). Also I was not going to just have her I was going to have a kid in it too but I decided again it to save time and also didn’t no how to draw a baby cartoon monkey was thinking of just having a smaller monkey but didn’t like it so I just decided to take him out completely. I also made this comic suitable for all ages with no violence and no bad language.

The main thing I think is a strength of this project is the art I sent a lot of time making it look good I did this by drawing all the images in it by hand and scanning them into Photoshop then drawing over them with the brush tool and then colouring it in with the fill tool and the gradient tool to stop it looking like one block colour. The think I don’t like about this is the story its not very good and I don’t think any one would understand what is going on first time I should of spend a little more time thinking of a good in depth story instead of the simple one I settled for. But I did learn some cool stuff in Photoshop like some of the filters and stuff bit I tried to stick with stuff I new because it saved time and because I new about it I could use the tools properly. I did almost not get my end comic in on time because of the time I spend on getting it to look as it does and I did manage my time but I ended up spending much less time of planning and much more time on making the comic. If I have the chance to create it again I would spend much more time on thinking of a good story to go with the art work. Even with my story not being very good I like the overall outcome of my comic mainly because of the quality of my drawing amazed me and I am also happy with how much my drawing skill has come along

Comic


Hi this is my comic, over all it fails at telling a story but i spent a lot of time drawing it all out and i like how the art side of it turned out
