Que sera, sera – Career : Comic artist (WIP05)

After showing my design for Concept artist for consultation, it is quite hard for people to tell that i am a concept artist.

Since concept artist is such a broad term it can go from abstract artist to surrealism and all. So I was thinking comic artist would probably be something I am more familiar with considering how next week is already the submission.

Something that really stands out as a comic artist is the panels, also a particular rendering style. They are generally more flat and “textured” with the etchings. I was thinking of showing the process of a comic through my name. From the sketches in blues all to the inking and maybe the colouring.

Since there is like different type of rendering style I need to pick something that screams comic instead of storyboard since they are pretty similar. There is the purely white & black and the coloured one.

For the style I was thinking of trying the pop art style. Its not something that I have done before so I think it will be pretty fun. I actually thought of using the style with just my name but I figured out that maybe it is not that obvious that I am a comic artist?

I realised after drafting out the panels, if I were to draw on tall the panels, everything would be too cluttered and you would not be able to see anything. So I tried it with just my name in a pop-art style.

To be honest, I am not really sure if anyone can tell this is a comic artist. So I tried doing the panels for the typography and added in some illustration. But somehow the blocky panels do not pop like the test.

Then I tried editing the letters again according to the font I got from online. But honestly speaking I am not really sure what to feel for the background.
