ASSIGNMENT 08 COMIC STRIP STORY & INITIAL LAYOUT


I'm still working on a title, but here is the comic inked.  More will be showing up soon, maybe more. The story in this one starts off with my freshman year of high school offering a friend a ride home. My sister, Heather, and I get in the car and start heading towards her house when she see's two of our other friends walking home, she would have been walking with them without us. Deciding to rub it in their face, she yells out to them, but someone else looks at her and answers. In which she replies, "NO! NOT YOU! I  DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!" It was very funny how random it was.

This was my school advisory's idea of feeding the homeless. We drove to skid row in downtown LA and passed out a bunch of grab bags with pbj, juice, and chocolate right before christmas. We went around a block, and after parking the car, turning right, and again turning we came upon a bunch of homeless people and it looked like we stepped into a horror film. One man even came to get a sandwich, but only wanted it from my advisory member Elizabeth. Creepy to put it simply.
This is my first meeting with Heather. She, unfortunately doesn't remember this incident. She was running late and her mom chased the bus down, so we stopped before exiting onto a major street and she jumped on. There was a spot next to me open which she took, but we didn't talk until we reached Sepulveda road. Which, it sucked going being bused from Highland Park to Sherman Oaks. Anyways, she asked about my music, I replied and asked what her favorite song was before dropping into an awkward silence. Ah...memories.
For secret santa in my 10th grade year I got Heather, we didn't know how it could happen since we drew randomly, but I wasn't going to question it. Some people were a bit peeved about it, but whatever. I decided to pull a prank on her and have her open a box, then another, then a bag, and then another box before she could get her present. Unfortunately I couldnt find a small box to ft in the bag so I simplified my plan. She was pissed and she flips me off in the video I have. I believe I should post it on  here sometime.

ASSIGMENT 07: COMIC STRIP CHARACTERS & SHORT BIO's

These are my quick sketches of how I want my comic scenario to play out. A storyboard if you will. My comic story is of a time I offered my friend heather a ride home and on our way she saw tow of our friends and yelled to them. Unfortunately for the bystander, he was yelled at for looking when 'she doesn't even know him.' I'm missing pages, so I wil explain and edit later. My next comic is of how Heather and I first met. We were on the bus to school, when a van pulled up behind the bus and a girl caught up to us and got on. She ended up sitting beside me, but we didn't talk. I was listening to my music and just trying to wake up. When we get close enough to the school, I turned my music off when she spoke to me. "You like Linkin Park?" "Yup." I replied, before continuing. "Place For My Head is my favorite song, whats yours?" She answered "Crawling." After that, silence. I think back on this moment and laugh because we became best friends, but in our first conversation ever it seemed like I would never talk to her again. In my last one, its of me, dani, heather, chickle, and jovan at a party before we go to heathers house and play rock, paper, scissors. Chickle ended up losing 4-1 as we ll played rock and he played scissors.
