Another sketchbook dump.

I don't think my sketches could ever get published into a sketchbook.... they are too random and tend to be all over the place with no consistency. Just tend to sketch when I am bored really.... or if I have a sketchbook with me when I am out and about.

Anyhoo here's more line art sketching.

        

Writing this comic is a pain.

Ooookay, I have been set a project over the summer by my tutors for my Degree. It is to tell a short story comic based within the small village of Avebury, Wiltshire.... MY god though it has been difficult to write something. Originally I wanted to use this project as to write a small side story to my CONDUIT comic I am writing but that proved futile. No matter how many times I tried to write it I could not get something right or it just would not seem to flow or be working.

I think the problem was is that I was trying to write a story about characters that I have not established yet myself. So in the end I had a quick look at stories that surround Avebury and found one of interest.

The story goes that a couple lived in the now Red Lion Inn (the only pub/guest house in Avebury) and the husband was sent away to fight in the Civil War. The wife ended up taking a lover and upon the husbands unexpected return he finds the wife in bed with her lover. So what does the husband do? Kills the lover and cuts his wife's throat and chucks her down a well that is now in the Red Lion Inn (located in the dinning area) and the husband sealed it with a boulder.

So I am going to do a comic based on her ghost in modern Avebury.

Here is the character design I have for the ghost, who's name is Florrie.

 

 

Thats it for now. I'll update more when I have a more concrete story and other characters done.
