Cape kids comic 1st page rough sketches
July 17th, 2019
I knew at some point in my career I'd be driven to make a sequential story of some sort. I've even dabbled a little in it before just for fun or as a gift to a friend. Hopefully looking back over this once it's all said and done will shed some light on what I did wrong or right along the way.

This sequence has Pia accidentally beginning her live stream before she's fully prepared. Acer gives her some advice on tech while he's playing a video game and it seems like Pia wasn't the only one not prepared. Pixel the dog wakes up just in time for her intro.
there's a short scene in the second issue of Scott Pilgrim that kinda inspired this one. Scott was having a crisis about dating a high schooler while he was playing a video game in the dark and Ramona showed up to assure him that 11am was indeed very late in the day to get up and get ready.

This is the second page of the Cape Kids comic I've been working on. In this scene, Pia introduces herself as one of the Cape Kids, a group who show other kids that they have real life superpowers that they can use to help a cause they care about.

She talks about the superpower equation: taking your talent plus your heart to equal your superpower, and gives her own superpower equation as an example. Acer pats Pia on the head and says that yes, even though Pia is very clumsy, she uses her talent to help a cause she cares about.

This is a rework of the second page to try and be more clear in what I was going for and also to try drawing more on-model.

The third page of a Cape Kids comic that I've been working on. In this one, Acer is properly introduced and continues to assure Pia that she's a great live streamer. After taking a blow to her ego, she attempts to make herself taller than Acer by standing on the bucket (first seen back in the final panel of page one). They are interrupted by an alarm as the screen behind them reads "APATHY DETECTED". Pia explains that apathy means not caring about others and Acer uses the function in his high-tech watch to call the other cape kids.
This is a rework I did to iterate some lines better.
4th and 5th Page spread

This is a two page spread in the Cape Kids comic I'm working on where a new character is introduced. She's currently seeing a friend in the hospital, but has apprehensions about going inside.
