After reading
Sin City and
V for Vendetta, I realized something. I want to create something different, but with aspects from the "classics". For example, when I started going about creating
Upon the Frigid Warmth,
I wasn't fully sure as to how to approach the different versions of
text. So, when looking at other examples (as shown here in figures 1 and
2 from the books I've mentioned), and after talking to Professor Monica
Larson, I found the solution. Instead of trying different fonts and
what not, I decided to just change the surroundings of the wording. The
font remains the same. However, when approaching artistry, I found that
only mine would do unless I hired another anthropomorphic artist.
Knowing how much that would cost and the amount of time it would take, I
decided that would be both inconvenient and cost a lot of money.
However, I did draw some inspiration from a web comic. The web comic,
Jack, (pictured above) has helped me in deciding how to approach my back grounds. I am going to keep it minimal and light using only what is needed, when it is needed. Outside of that, the rest of the novel was easy. I went by start, rising and finishing actions, and the story feels like a cross between
Pirates of the Carribbean and
Game of Thrones. A bit of betrayal, piracy and loads of tension.
