For my AP1 Project, I will create a short comic book with 4 to 6 pages inspired by Turkish mythology and culture, aimed at young adults.
The story follows a mystical and emotional journey. It begins with a character having a dream of Wolf Asena, a creature that related to Gokturk myths. The wolf warns of approaching shadow creatures that threaten the balance of the world. The main character wakes up to find that the dream was a call to action, as these shadowy figures begin to invade their village.
Guided by the Wolf, the character goes on a journey to restore balance and protect their home. The adventure leads them to a mysterious ancient gate, where they must face their fears and make a hard
decision to save their world.
I will use the Expressionism art style for this comic, emphasizing dramatic emotions, vibrant colors, and dynamic visuals to bring the story to life. Over six weeks, I will develop the narrative and characters through sketches and explore various artistic techniques.
