Born To Lose

One of our briefs for Comic and Sequential art last year was to create a comic. Not a Graphic Novel or anything, just a little comic. It had to be black and white,we couldn't use any words and had to work A3. So obviously, a JOY to work on. We also had to write the story ourselves. I actually quite enjoyed working on this and would have enjoyed it even more had I not only gotten one actual page completed. It also didn't help that I lost my mind somewhere along the way and thought I'd use stipple....millions of tiny little dots...for shading. You'll notice how one character magically changes colour and becomes a black man when the shading goes that little bit too far...

Anyway, my story was called "Born To Lose" and to sum it up it's about a deadbeat loser called Davis who works with his father and brother in the family car sales business...they constantly humiliate and put him down and when the brother is found dead, Davis is thought to be the killer...he's not, but rather than deny it, he goes along with it because for the first time ever his father fears him and he associates that fear with respect...blahblahblah

Anyway, what can I say...I do love lifes losers.
