Description
In a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, humanity has been forced to retreat to underground shelters to escape the desolation above. This is a comic story that follows the perilous journey of two friends as they navigate through a dystopian world filled with danger, discovery, and a quest for survival.
Research
My creative process for this project began with extensive research into the post-apocalyptic genre. I immersed myself in various inspirations, from classic graphic novels to modern video games and films, to understand the visual language and thematic elements of the style. My goal was to derive a unique style that would not only capture the desolate mood of the world but also make the story feel authentic and compelling.
Development
To bring this narrative to life, I began by illustrating each scene and character, focusing on capturing the harsh reality of their environment. My workflow involved mixing multiple layers of edits and digital painting techniques to achieve a stylized yet gritty look. Through this process, I meticulously handled every detail, from the character designs to the environmental textures, to ensure the final output effectively told the story I envisioned.
Impact
This project stands as a testament to my ability to tell a compelling narrative through visual media. It demonstrates my skills in conceptualizing and executing a complete story from start to finish. The work showcases my proficiency in illustration, layered editing, and world-building, proving my capability to create emotionally resonant and technically accomplished visual stories for any medium.
