Sonnet Comic Adaptations

To gather experience with the traditional methods of comic making, professor Floyd Hughes tasked us with adapting two classic sonnets into single page ink comics.

Started with the classic sonnet of Ozymandias, where the author finds a ruined statute from a long forgotten kingdom, boasting about the might of his works, yet nothing around remained. I interpreted this one as space travelers, discovering this relic on a long dead planet. The second sonnet I adapted was Shakespeare's Sonnet 27, I worked to ensure the settings and costumes were time accurate to the period for this one.

Translating the stories into 9 panels, sketching out the panels in blue pencil, and than going over them in Ink. Both of these were inked with a combination of Micron pens and Ink Brush pen. The lettering was done digitally in Photoshop.
