The Watch: Comic Process

The Watch is an on-going thesis project, a comic of a NEET called Xian, who finally steps out of his room to work as a Night Guard. But the Building he guards has something more installed for him.

These are some of the process/page layouts made for the comic.

I did around 4 drafts to reach to the draft approved by my mentor, Hannes before heading over to color roughs, since i be doing in color (which is something I have not had the courage to tackle until now.) Under Hans Bacher in his Illustration for Designer and through this project, I have come to appreciate and enjoy Color. 

Nowadays, I am taking notice of the colors that i am facing in my own life and hope to put them in my future works to come :)

Style exploration

Inspired by various artists in colors and illustrations. Particularly Pascal Campion, Lou Romano and Tadahiro Uesugi's philosophies and techniques. 

Thought about black and white/inking, but decided that the mood is best felt with colors.
