Here is a little 10 page comic that took much too long.
It's kind of based off of my 6 year old self and my life goal (at the time) to live in a lake and be a mermaid.
This is my first comic and it was a difficult yet enjoyable process. I definitely have a lot more respect for the medium now.
I hope you guys get a kick out of it.
Now time to get back to painting!
really good comic Laura :)
ReplyDeletecan i have some more comics please!
this is so heart wrenching and wonderful :) and so true.
ReplyDeleteholy crud, i love this comic. i think you should definately try to get this published. it would make an awesome book. i would buy it in a second.
ReplyDeleteyou've been stumble upon'd
ReplyDeleteThis is really great Laura. This is more than worthy to be submitted for publishing of some sort. Ive seen comic shorts receive awards for content half as good as this.
ReplyDeleteGood kids story, with a little harsh reality.
