Another school assignment, this time a graphic novel. I had the choice between making a children book or a graphic novel, and there were also lots of different subjects to chose from. I went for one with the title "Love and Death", which are topics that fascinates me in many ways. There are almost infinite ways of making a story with this title, and I wanted to make something different from things I have seen before. Usually stories have a happy ending. The good guy wins. Love prevails. I wanted to focus more on the bad sides of "love", like jealousy, hate, obsession etc. You read and hear about it all the time.. People fighting over the same person, breakups, people getting their hearts torn out... even people killing their ex. Yeah, we live in a fucked up world.
It is also a story about egoism. Having a goal and going for it, just focusing on achieving that goal and not caring about others. Often that`s how I feel reality is like. Being so blinded by our own egos that we don`t see or care what happens to anyone else.
Anywhos, that is mainly what inspired me to make it this way. A twisted and dark graphic novel named Love & Death.
Due to a lot of lost days because of travelling, moving and illness I didn`t get time to make it the way I first intended. Because of this I also ended up handing it in late and will therefor get 10% off of the grade... which sucks. So there are still some things that could use some polish and things I would do differently if I had more time. But all together I´m quite happy with it! And the prints looks super awesome:)
