Project 5- Final Cover and References

 After thinking about what I wanted to do for the cover I remembered a magazine I used to collect before it went fully digital called Shonen Jump, a publisher for manga. I used the newer cover style and tried to replicate it, making a concept for a fencing manga. The words behind the figure is the title of the manga, which say's "Pret Allez" which is a fencing term meaning "ready fence." I also split the diagonal line that the words sit on into different sections resembling a fencing strip where a bout takes place.

Project 5- Concepts and Iterations

 These are sketches I did for the sequential narrative project, I was thinking about doin a short comic. Instead I went with an animation. Since I had these left over, I thought about making a comic book cover. The thumbnails were my process of drawing members of the fencing team in their "signature" poses. I used these as the base concept for my final comic cover.
