4.2 Presentation: Level Up

For my level up activity, I’d like to do the UniVerse publishing. I’d really like to level up the narrative so that it fits Dundee’s level of quality, and be able to publish on a professional level. I know this will be challenging, as I am working on several IPs at once, (Nox Notare, Injury of Reputation, and The Steampunk Menagerie of Tales of Folk and Fae)  and will be taking on a big project in collaboration with my mother (who is a social worker) to illustrate her children’s books about mental illness. I do know that Taran has expressed interest in also continuing to work on the narrative, but I am unsure about one of our writers and another has requested to be removed from the IP.

In order to do the UniVerse Publishing, Taran and I as artists will improve the quality of the art. We will increase the quality of the backgrounds, remove inconsistencies with the characters, and recreate the orientation of the speech bubbles and panels. In order to change the quality of the narrative, some of the needless description will be removed, and we will let the images show the narrative flow. If needed, we will change some panels and if some pages need entire re-draws they will be completed. Overall, it’s mostly about leveling up the art and narrative work and getting it to Dundee’s quality levels.

4.1 Presentation: Being Human

During the preparation for Being Human, I think my team worked pretty cohesively as a unit. I think we were able to agree on things that needed to be sorted out, such as who read what, and when. Our presentation was a dramatized reading of the comic and it turned out pretty well. I really enjoyed helping to set up the power point presentation, and the fact we brought a literal model of a heart and a prosthetic hand into the mix. I feel like that was really unique, and it blended my experiences working in the maker space with my webtoon and comic work.

As for the actual presentations. I felt we did well, but I overall wasn’t happy with our product. I really wish we had more time to work on it, and Kaela and I will be continuing the narrative most likely. I hope to fix the flaws with the first five pages, and continue the story of Dr. Joseph, Lawrence, and Margarie. Though the work we did was flawed, it was received positively. I think that was the best part of the whole presentation. Even though we did not get picked for the anthology, I was glad we still tried anyways
