Medium: blue pencil (for sketching) | copic multiliner pens | photoshop
Credit: Layout (majority) | character design | ink (no pencil was involved)

This was a free project done through my final thesis year (2007-2008). The client wanted a sketchy, fairly dark look (think, 'walking dead' comic). The original layout came from them, but I changed a majority of it once I joined. First I did a series of character designs for them to approve, and then I did some layout sketches and re-ordering before being approved to go to final.

- Should've made panel 1 and 2 into one panel showing a wider establishing shot of the room.

- My biggest mistake: I geared this too much towards my UCSC peers. Who else but those living in Dorms would understand removing the card from the door meant you were allowing it to lock ?
-Really should've put in that establishing shot I mentioned. Did you understand that Dante was sitting at the his build in Bar [something definitely not permitted in real life of course]?

- A wider view of the room in Panel 2 would've made the sequence a bit better.
-I still think the middle shot established their positions well, but, not everyone may recognized from where the camera is [the doorway].
- I just realized, I also geared this too much towards video gamers. But that was the point of the project. So never mind.

- Again, establishing shot on the first page: it would've made the first panel more understandable i think.

- Maybe Id's hand on Dante's should should've been more obvious. Probably just looks like a blob. Or at least made a better gateway to his fourth panel shot.

-Dante's hands look terrible in the first panel. Not horrible, but definitely terrible.
