But yeah, using a pre-existing story or myth might help give it some context. :)Kali Ciesemierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04221992549077312702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021324840345537433.post-66101317364918238732010-04-15T15:20:40.648-04:002010-04-15T15:20:40.648-04:00I'm just doing 2-3 (probably 3) pages...

I guess by "story" I really meant "scene/event," like an excerpt from a larger book.<br />Using an existing story would help me focus on the art, and I'm definitely going to look into myths. But yeah, the story I was thinking of was just like... a character finds different kinds of bugs. Definitely not anything complex. Maybe I'll post again with some preliminary sketches.Kelsey Sundayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243186741979244381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021324840345537433.post-78986691159551500072010-04-15T14:22:57.605-04:002010-04-15T14:22:57.605-04:00Hey Kelsey, I like the papercut idea!

It sounds like you're coming up with a whole plot, are you going to do more than 2 or 3 pieces? Or just pick 2 or 3 key scenes? It may be easier & more recognizable to pick one of your favorite kids stories and reinterpret it into 2 or 3 scenes in papercut form (and adding visual elements that you enjoy, like antelopes or bugs). If you want it set in brazil/madagascar/africa, you could start out by researching local myths (I know that the anansi stories involve a lot of animals)Kali Ciesemierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04221992549077312702noreply@blogger.com
