Progress Report

After a meeting with my tutor two weeks ago, we decided on the 'interactive' comic. It would not infact be interactive, but it is the easiest way to describe it. The comic boxes will come onto the screen, obivously in the correct order. Though i have been ill recently, and had family stuff to worry about, i am hopefully still on the right track, eventhough i may be behind in comparison to my peers.

I have spent the last two days trying to draw my comic, only to realise that i cannot draw anime that small no matter how hard i try. After speaking to my housemate, i have decided to draw each 'box' as it were on an A4 sheet and then scale it down in photoshop, it will also look better quality if i do it this way. So far i have 4 photos for later on in the comic and have just started with the first few, i have a school scene which is the eastablishing shot.

I have decided that the story for my visual novel as it were, is loosely based on Willam Shakespeare's Romeo and Julliet. The idea is that a girl meets a boy from a rival high school and falls in love with him, knowing that her peers see this as a forbidden thing. Someone finds out about their relationship and tells everyone from both schools, resulting in them feeling like outcasts. They decide something drastic needs to be done, and they both take a suicide pact, he drinks the poison, but she cannot got through with it, he dies in her arms and the last shot or 'box' is off her with her eyes closed and tears falling down her face.
