Graphic Novel - Dreaming a Siren

[LutiChris]

I have been working on a graphic novel for over two months now. So far I only have 12 pieces to go by. When the school year is over, i will probably abandon the 18x24 in paper and rely on my cg skills for future works. I hope you all enjoy this.

A Brief Introduction (Click to View)

This part of the story is about a boy who falls asleep, enters a dream, finds his brain, and meets his siren. The siren in his life is the lustful mermaid. The character’s desire to be loved again is confused with a deviant mind. The siren plays with him, hiding from his view. The character is very frightened by his surroundings while he falls deeper into his mind. As he continues to stay and wander in his mind, he slowly begins to lose his characteristics. His mind expands when he exits the noodle of his brain. It’s a jungle, an easy place to get lost.

It certainly confusing to read a graphic novel . Nice and creative one. Would take ages for me to sketch so much stuffs or maybe use patterns =0.

well it certainly does take a while, takes roughly ~6-8 hours for each peice, and that also varies...

This is pure awesomness. I was expecting this from the moment i saw your signature. Who knows how much time you spent on this.

Whoa, this is great great great!!!
Loved "reading" it! It takes some time to get what's happening, but that's what makes it awesome! Lot's of interpretation and thinking to understand the storyline.

And even though your drawing style is perfect to emphasize the abstract events in the graphic novel, I think you sometimes take it a little too far with arranging and "blending" panels. It's nice to have these effects, but for example in 7 and 11 they are slightly exageratted and generally hinder the reading-flow a little.

Great! That's what I was going for.

Thank you for noticing that, I'll try to avoid that next time.
Once Again, thank you guys for taking a look @ story so far...
