Today I finally finished my comic page and I am extremely happy with how it turned out. I think the simple cartoon style works really well with the story I’ve gone with which is, a group of three characters, a chicken named Gus, a cactus dressed as a cowboy named Rocco and a lizard named Pogo, are skateboarding away from two alien monsters in a yellow car with stolen money in a briefcase, they start off in a city and then eventually make it to a cliff and jump into the ocean. They escape with the money and float away. The whole reason we had to make a comic page was to explain why our other project, which was to make a clay figure or model inside a can, mine was the chicken Gus with a pile of books on a beach sitting in his can drinking a coconut cocktail, so I made my comic a heist and ends with Gus escaping and living the rest of his life in the Bahamas with the stolen money. I decided to not have my title at the top and instead have some nice clouds like in the other panels for two reasons, one, I felt like if I had a title it would make it feel like the start of a comic and this story picks up right towards the end, we haven’t actually seen the heist itself, or the planning or why they want to rob the aliens in the first place, all we see is the three running from the aliens and since our task was to show a sort of origin story but not the whole thing, just the part of how they end up in the can, it felt off and out of place so I just went for the clouds, two, I wasn’t sure how I was going to layout or even draw the title, I wanted it to be bubble writing with either green or orange as the base but I was too unsure. While I do have several small issues with my page, like the ‘screech’ onomatopoeia being a little scruffy and the second panel being a little blurry with lots packed into it, I love how the page looks. Some things that stand out to me is how the background isn’t just boring old white and it’s actually the background to the bottom panel, also how things are coming over the boxes, like the palm trees, the characters, and the car, which really makes you feel involved in the heist.
