In comic club, we’re supposed have stories we’ve made done by the end of the year, about 4 pages worth of drawings. For my story, I have to different ideas and I need an opinion on which one I should do.
Idea 1
Basically it just follows a tree through the years as the forest around it is slowly destroyed to make room for a residential neighborhood. At the end, you can see a 2 story house with a white picket fence surrounding it. A cat sits on top of a tree stump, a dead bird resting under its paw. I was originally not going to do it because I didn’t have someone to help with art, but now I do so it’s back in the running.
Idea 2
This one follows a scribble going through high school all alone. It slowly gets smaller and smaller the more isolated it feels until a person becomes their friend. The scribble is drawn, obviously, while the background is made out of photographs. The photograph element was an idea I got from Goodnight Punpun, an excellent depressing manga series. Coincidentally, the person who approached me today offering to help me with the art was wearing a shirt with Punpun on it, so I’m kinda taking as a sign from the universe that I will have help.
Anyways, which one sounds more interesting?
