SDP (Your Work in Progress)
Script writing First things first, writing the story; Luckily I bought a comic recently called 'Brink' by Dan Abnett and Ian Culbard and at the back of this comic had a exert of the script.

Several days later, I got a good friend of mine to read through the script and give me feedback on what needed more work with it. I'll avoid uploading the script here for spoilers sake ;) Character/Monster S

Assignment 5: Say What You (Don't) See
For this assignment, I will chose a saying (below), and create an illustration that contradicts my chosen saying. Sayings: Good things come to those who wait. Money can’t buy happiness. There’s more fish in the sea. The grass is always greener. Don’t judge a book by its cover. They lived happily ever after. The early bird catches the worm. What you see is what you get. A leopard can’t change its spots. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. A

Assignment One: You Are Now..
For this assignment I was given a very open brief with the words ' You Are Now! ', the are plenty of directions I could go down with this simple brief and I can do it in many ways- such as a fanzine, an artist's books, a comic, a series of posters, an animation, the choices are endless... Considering how much there is I could explore I wanted to remember what my last two exercises taught me. I understand now that I find narrative/story in art extremely appealing and works bes
