Major Project Cover Making Process of Asena - The Spirit Guardian

This is the final piece of the Comic Cover but lets get to the Processes of this outcome...

...First I started with making sketches and ideas to how to create an Comic Cover and I made this:

I reseaech for ides on the Internet, Pinterest and also used the printed pictures of mine:

I just printed these to make the wolf more visual on my side.

Secondly, I searched and find some images of wolfes, Comic Covers and fonts.

I also find templates and the elements that have been used to make a Comic Cover.

After that I setelled on my female wolf character, I drew the main character to fit on the cover, and I went Canva to edit the image.

This was the first template of the cover.

Then I change the font and style but I'm stuck between 2 options 

 How should colours of title be like?

Background - Words same colour? Or

They same as the background.

After that I decided to make it the same as background.

I found a tag on Google (I think this is a barcode of a dress) but anyways I got this and add easteregg on it

My name and my nickname :D

I putted on my canvas

I also add my logo on right bottom corner

 I've putted the barcode and some details abot the comic on left bottom corner

I used 'Comica' font for the details.

Then I started editing the name of brand on top.

Finally I downloaded as a PNG file on rigt top corner of the Canva website

Further Research - Lynd Ward ‘God’s Man’, 1929

               

                      Lynd Ward was an American artist. He made God’s Man in 1929. It is a wordless novel, meaning there are no words, only pictures. The story is about a young artist who gets a magic paintbrush. This brush gives him success, but it also brings problems. He struggles with money, love, and freedom. In the end, he tries to escape but meets a tragic fate.

Ward used a special art style called Expressionism. His pictures are black and white with strong shadows. They create deep emotions and tell the story in a powerful way. He was inspired by German artists like Frans Masereel.

Wild Pligrimage (1932)

God’s Man is important because it was one of the first graphic novels in America. It influenced many artists, including Will Eisner. Even today, people admire Ward’s work because it looks beautiful and tells a strong story.

Website Update: Art Portfolio One

 Today we are updating our websites. I will add my updates here. I will be also adding portfolio pages for my project in Art Portfolio One

I began by updating the copyright from 2024 to 2025. I did this by clicking on copyright text and just adjusting the number. Then I saved and republished.

I then checked all my social links were working and did not need updating. I added a KICK icon on social links because I started a live streaming.

I then checked my Home, Portfolio, About and Contact page. All links were working well and I have buttons to navigate back home and back to portfolio,  I also checked these in the mobile view and everything is working including back to top button. 

Will Eisner - Comic and Sequential Art

 Today I am researching about Will Eisner,

he is an American cartoonist, writer, and entrepreneur. 

I choose him to research because he is related to my Art Portfolio Project and  I liked his works he is been in this sector around 1930's and when I looked at his book called Comic and Sequential Art and I said it can help me with this project, give me inspirations and ideas. 

The book shows how emotions can be shown with just one word, body movements, and posture. It also explains how different styles of speech bubbles can show different emotions and emphasize important parts of a story. 

Eisner talks about how perspective can change the meaning and value of a scene.

 He gives good examples of how to create a storyboard for comics. I will use this book to get ideas and inspiration for my project.

These are some drawings on this book
