The project
This project is a continuation of my last project where I drafted the characters and story for a comic. This time I storyboarded a few pages of a scene in my comic and also created a backstory for my character.
English
For my english project since I had already written an issue of a comic I decided to write the story behind why my character acts the way he does. I researched other comics and graphic novels for inspiration for my character. I studied what made a character seem real and interesting and then used that to create the backstory for my own character. My writing follows the life of Richard Ramirez and his adventures in the wild west. It spans from his adoption into a retired gang at a young age to his life after he starts running from the law when they are found. I also designed and went in depth into the backstories of side characters to explain their views and perspectives.

Art
For art I digitally sketched 4 pages of my comic to create a detailed story board. I took the narrative from my previous project and used the descriptions I wrote for a fight scene to come up with the panels. I added some color splotches to one of the panels to see how it would apply without having to color the entire piece.
