With this project, I wanted to showcase the many different types of fears we as humans can experience. The fears mentioned in this graphic novel are especially connected with the current climate crisis and the declining state of our planet. I wanted to show the many different approaches we can take to deal with the issue, both good and bad.
I have always wanted to make a graphic novel/comic, and so the personal project was a fantastic opportunity to do so! I got to experiment with character creation and using materials and colours I would normally not use. It took many painstaking hours to finish this project (since each page took at least an hour to complete), but I feel positive about the finished product and the process! Future 9th graders, please try to avoid procrastinating with this project. It's not worth it, trust me!
Below is a slideshow of the behind-the-scenes sketches and planning phases, please feel free to look at it!
