For project 4, we were told to interpret "Our Story". I wanted to do something related to my life, and took it a bit literally. Unfortunately, I didn't get close to finishing it in the time I had for that project; It even spanned 3 separate ones, and didn't get done. But I hope to complete it soon.
What I ended up doing is making a comic. It goes through my phases of life, at 5, 9, 12, 16, and 19 (now). Each phase is longer than the last, and the transitions happen off camera when I go to a different setting or whatnot. I did my best to integrate how my art progressed through each age, but it didn't make it in all of them. It ended up being more about the people in my life; Nick and Jon, my playmates in grade school, Tima and her sister Sarah, the ones who got me into more anime as well as going to our first convention together. Then there's Andra in high school, one of the "lunch table" (though I initially wanted to include all of them, it just wasn't meant to be) and the one who co-authored a daily comic I did in Junior and Senior year, called Starman. (Starman featured our Geometry teacher as a farming Starfish that gets zapped by alien radiation and gains super powers... crazy right?)
At the end of high school and in the college phase, Mark is featured. He is my fiance and I've been with him for nearly 4 1/2 years now. The last phase just takes place in his car, but it more focuses on just us, hopefully showcasing his importance in my life.
There are a few inside jokes, but I'm hoping it didn't detract much from the comic; I didn't want others not involved to not enjoy it, after all.
As well as inking it, I plan on toning the pages and making a cover for it. Wish me luck on finishing it! I'll need it.
