Firstly, what the hell is "Silent Symphonies"? Well, it is a creator-owned graphic novel and it is a collection of short stories (not too short!) by three artists living in the southernmost tip of India... well almost the tip! One of the artists happens to be me, along with my super-talented partners of the trade, Kishore Mohan and Roshan. We were planning on this quite sometime now. And it is now that we felt the determination (escape from our laziness) to create stories we want to tell you.
I got this idea of creating a journal about the making of my story for the GN not only because I want to show you how I work and the procedures, but also to push myself and get over my laziness. To brief about my procedure so far - I had the story in mind for a long time now but I never wrote it down. Recently, as I started writing the script, I realized that it was taking me much further than I had imagined earlier. In short, it's getting messy. Somehow in the end, I figured it out and am now finished with the writing part.
Soon after finalizing on the script, I broke it down to acts and plots so that I can get an idea of how many pages of comic I will be drawing. Also I wrote each different scenes separately to get an easier reference.
Then I moved on the character designs, which I am still figuring out. I have posted some characters I have been sketching for that purpose. Note that this may or may not be the final designs.
So, that is all for now. Hope to keep you guys updated on the journal. Thanks for reading... Adios!
