So as I have posted I’m taking a class from the Smithsonian about comic books. Our final project is to create a superhero. Many of the ideas are fantastic, mine was Gizmo Girl, an all-ages comics with a “strong female protagonist.” The class requirements were to complete a slideshow defining your character. Week one: define your mythic inspiration. Week two: define your character’s superpowers, weaknesses, and origin. Week three: define your villain’s, origin, inspiration, powers, etc. Week 4: Construct a basic story. Week 5: Make three panels from your scene. I’ll share all of this when it’s ready, but for now I thought I would at least share an updated drawing of Gizmo Girl. There might be some subtle changes, but I think this is the design I’m sticking with. I’ve learned a lot over the past 6 years, and I know I’ll end up tweaking things, simplifying them as I draw more and more. I’ve really enjoyed the class and have until the end of the month to get the last work done… wish me luck. Now it’s off to figure out a villain (yes, Cecil would be an easy choice, but I’m trying to push myself a bit).
One thought on “Gizmo Girl Update- Oh what a tangled web.”
