FMP: Week Five

WEBCOMICS AND COMIC BOOKS

As my final major project enters into the last few weeks, I feel like I need to move on from my research and into actual making and product of my final piece. Despite this goal that I have set, I still feel like I am lingering on to much with my research and not pushing forward move into the creating - something I am hoping and aiming to overcome very quickly and very soon.

Either way, my current research has become far more defined and I am currently looking at specfic artist more rather than artist work as a whole. In particular I am choosing to mostly look purely at artists who use a comic style in some form or another, and additionally produce art that is bother personal and engaging, as theses are elements I have strongly decided upon for my own work and I looking for inspiration within.

Particular artists begin mostly at this point, Gemma Correll.

Having already been a large fan of Correll's work for a while now, and knowing a lot about her styling and work within comics and personal anecdotes, I am surprised it had taken me this long to remember her and use her work for stronger and further developed research. But now that I am, I am finding that my ideas and inspiration is flowing constantly, and I am able to produce beginnings of work that I like and want to continue developing. Though I am not at the point I want to be at with my own drawings and work, I am starting something, and aiming to be pleased with, but still strive to work faster and more efficiently to keep up with the targets and impending deadline.

WEBCOMICS

In addition to work into particular artists and such, I have been thorough in my reading of webcomics for inspiration to my FMP, and of course for personal entertainment!

I find the styling of webcomics to be far more relaxed and produced on a quicker scale, and artists are able to share them widely over the internet and engage far more with their audience. Though these are not necessarily elements that will be apart of my own project, it is a good research point, and general thing to look into, I fell.
