Assignment 3


Watching "Martial arts tv series" at dinnertime
Learning "The way of the Snake"

Come for dinner?

Wait.

NOW!

*ROAR!!!*
(misses warning advice on tv screen)

The snake poises
Kusanagi no tsurugi(草薙の剣)
Snake-counterskill:
Flight of the eagle

Chakra absorption technique
チャクラ吸引術

Eagle > Snake

The strong shall live and the weak shall perish.
That is the dominant law of nature.

Assignment 3 was pretty fun to do, although I had a big headache over fitting my story into ten frames. I needed about 11 or 12 frames to get all my ideas across. So I tried to squeeze some of the frames together, such as the first and second one, but worried that trying to communicate two ideas in one frame would make my story unclear. So I opted for fewer fight scenes so I could have one focal idea in every frame. I also tried to do more dramatic poses, but aggravated an old injury and had to give it up. Well, all in all it was an interesting assignment, and I had a good laugh with my mother over the hundred-over photos we had to take to get her expression and position right.

I'll scan in and upload my storyboard soon. However, I must warn that my lack of sketching ability does not do justice to the storyline. With that said, thanks for the compliments!
