Graphic novel - progress
Here is a page of my rough layouts, even from this blurred image you can see they are very rough. But, they make sense to me and that's all that matters!
Still messing about with watercolours, the book will involve watercolour in some form or other it seems. This one was done last night.
My desk is a mess, but that seems to be the only way I can work! Compared to how it looked at the start, you can see I'm making progress (or just a mess, depending how you look at it.)
You may be able to see some of the stuff on my notice board, a lot of it is work that has influenced me or inspired me. It includes some Mike Mignola, Eric White, Alex Toth, Arthur Rackham, Robin Joseph, an old print from a Jules Verne book, pictures from magazines like Dive and New Scientist and some plastic beasties from the sea life centre. It will be interesting to see if any of it makes it into the final book in any way.

i like the work. the sketchy stuff reminds me of something-but i can't think what.
it would be interesting to see watercolours in a graphic novel.

I'm guessing the sketchy stuff reminds you of something brilliant. Even at this early stage the genius of my work is evident, at least that's what I think. and I'm sure everyone else will too....
