In this project, I was tasked with creating a graphic novel that fulfills the requirement of both of Gothic Literature and my Advanced Drawing class.
This takes place on the outskirts of the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War
December 1st, 1950.
I broke many of the comic rules for visual formatting to add more of a "fine art" background to the project. These include panel layout, margins, backgrounds, and camera movement. All pages were created using Graphite pencil and Ink. The paper being used is Arches hot press watercolor paper.
The work is unfinished sadly. That being said, I made one page and worked my backwards to lead up to it. This was the page the started the entire comic. This page captures the struggle between a mortal and a beast within him, as he clings on to what gives him purpose.
Left alone in a barren hellscape, all he has is his love which keeps him human.
