The Dead of London

I'm sure there must be a graphic novel in here somewhere. If I could be arsed.

 

Addendum: Have added in another character study here. Not sure where all this is heading...

Lol! Seriously awesome work there - such a HUGE amount of dots for your halftone patterns!?! Wowwee!

[giantlobsterprd 534]

Most of them are dotted lines!

Your works reveal such a stunning sense of style and nuance … amazing …  :)

More great half toning here. Certainly shows off something different. Love it. I couldn't be ersed doing all that detail!! :)

Really good work! Glad you gave a good test to this stroke halftoning technique we discussed before ) 

[giantlobsterprd 534]

Yeah it works well for even tones

This has legs; maybe the woman in the second picture should be called Lilledeth.

 

As for story writing and character development; sure that's something some of our esteemed fellow forum users, could take on.

 

Why not name the woman on the right, Mara? As this means - Bitter.

 

The biblical Naomi claimed the name Mara as an expression of grief after the deaths of her husband and sons; Variant of Mary; Abbreviation of Tamara.. Other origins for the name Mara include - English, Israeli, Italian, Hebrew.The name Mara is most often used as a girl name or female name.

Well here goes: I had to use warp tools in AI to create the masthead. AD's text-on-a-path doesn't quite cut it yet.

</confession>

I have this nagging idea that it has something to do with existing history - the cholera epidemic, the great stink of 1858, John Snow, Bazalgette and Faraday. I feel like enough nasty crap was dumped into the Thames, cholera victims might start coming back from the dead...

Yes! That works for me.

 

What angle would you take? Drama (Like Whitechapel), A Dan Snow style narrative, or a grown up version of Horrible Histories. What about the point of view of the virus, as if that was a malevolent character?

 

Personally, I recommend this series of books. Introducing...as this is a small book that you read from start to finish on any subject, from religion to maths and all other high brow subjects. By the end of these book; you are now able to talk about the subject with a sense of understanding.
