(Part 1) This project is considered my largest to date. It's my college thesis, completed in 2024. (Many thanks to my mentor, who responded to my countless messages every day except weekends, as I was most likely one of her first students to graduate. I wish you patience.) Officially, the event lasted from April 12th to June 20th (the written portion was due on June 24th), but it began a little earlier. The main idea was conceived two years beforehand (it even changed), and the sketches were prepared over three months. I was also working on my internship and teaching placement, so I wasn't able to devote all my time to the thesis. April 12th was the first pre-defense. I had ideas, character sketches for the environment and concept, many sketches, and the "mirror studio" logo was ready. May 16th was the second and final pre-defense. The characters were drawn, the maps and other details were drawn, but as for the comic, I only had sketches for six pages and a half-finished first page. The cover was done last; I spent a long time deciding what to draw. The comic was done in black and white due to time constraints. The comic itself is a "diversion for the demo," in my opinion. The plot moves very quickly because I needed to show as much as possible: dynamic and static elements, the characters in the environment, and the basic design of the comic. I chose dynamic elements to begin the comic to engage the viewer. When it came to static elements, there weren't as many details as I'd liked. Dialogues were also omitted, and the last page needed to be redone because a more interesting solution was found for both the character and the underlying meaning. I didn't have time for monologues; only the first and tenth pages have any meaningful content. The rest is just random stuff from the internet, haha. Four characters were created for the tablet designs, and there were more, but there wasn't enough time. Memor Roka, Keris Berskaya, Oswald Vintsevich, and Murus Fortis. Regarding the clothing, the biggest issue was with Oswald in human form. I would completely redesign it, and there's a chance the werewolf sandals will be changed as well. The last names of these three characters will most likely change. I'm completely satisfied with Murus, except that I'm nervous that I didn't have time to work out some textures in the concept, like leather or something like jade. (I FORGOT TO DRAW HIS HAT AND HELMET!) !!! - I'm extremely opposed to my concepts being distributed anywhere else or if anyone claims them as their own characters. !!! - This is a student project, and I claim no copyright for any of the fonts and images used in the references. Some fonts will need to be changed if the project is developed commercially. !!! I had three months to complete the entire project. A lot of work was accomplished in that short period of time, and it took a significant toll on my physical and mental health. So I promised myself I wouldn't do that again and would find time for rest and healthy eating. The final result has many errors. I'd like to refine some of it, add a lot, and redo all the headings and titles, but I was very short on time. This project was a valuable experience for me, and I'd like to develop it further, like my other ideas, but I need to find the time... The images have been reduced in resolution so they can be published here. I also have more to say about the characters, their personalities, and the personal or narrative challenges they face, but I think I'll limit myself to this for now. Not all the information made it here. If the project continues to be updated, I'll post them on my ArtStation page.
