Over the past few days I’ve been working on a few pages for a zine. The idea was forming during OUIL505 Applied Illustration - however I never got to fully realise the work at the time as The Scarlett Letter was suggested to be a stronger topic for the module. However with the constrains of module necessity taken away I’m now free to work on this.
It is a story of a young girl who is expelled from her home into a dystopian wasteland. She feels all is lost until she finds an idillic paradise and a warrior woman named Red. I have an idea for 6 zines which I will hopefully be able to collect together at some point down the line and form a graphic novel of some sort.
During my Level 5 Presentation reflection, I mentioned how I intended to develop my skills past the solely digital method I use now. I feel that I have begun to do this through the process of play whilst working on this. I really wanted the sandy wasteland to come alive on the pages - I did this by creating different textures using ink and scanning them in separately. These textures were then imposed onto my line work digitally. The process for the entire work can be seen below.
I intend to sell this at Thought Bubble in November.
