The Dark Character Sketches

In the Fall 2013 Semester my Writing Workshop Class underwent several group projects.  The group I was a part of created the webcomic: "The Dark" by, Chris Sanchez which can be read here: http://thedarkcomic.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-dark.html

I was responsible for creating the character Samantha who is the protagonist of our comic.  As seen below I went through many design changes for her character.

My initial sketch for Samantha.  This was done before the team decided the year our comic would take place. 

Another initial sketch for Samantha in her nightgown.

These dress sketches were made after the descision to set the story in the Georgian Era (1830's)

Final sketch for Samantha.

In addition to character design I and the rest of the team did page layouts for Chris to draw over as a means to manage time with our class final approached.  The pages i drew layouts for in order 1-3 are below.

These were done in Photoshop, roughly, as the main focus here was panel, character and speech bubble placement.
