applied illustration. inspiration for the story of my comic and its influences


i want to find a story or a piece of txt that will translate or inspire me to create a pitch for it to be a possible comic book. i have chosen to focus my inspiration into creating a comic book. like i have stated before i want to explore the works of a comic book, its what my work is and the style attracts the comic book world audience. so i deceptions iv made have lead me to making a horror comic book style. both a different path to what i usually work in. but i wanted to take it that one step further. most of my work is either observational to the today or its future based. i now wanted to find inspiration to make a scary comic book story based in the past...i.e medieval,viking, egypt. 

for inspiration for this idea i watched a few episodes of vikings... and can now say im hooked on it. not just for the entertainment but for the things iv learnt about them. i feel i cant realy translate that well into a comic book...there beliefs, there habits the art. i can translate there art into comic book style and make it work well. also this gives first hand research opportunities that i can work on such as the viking centre in york, royal armoires. it will allow me to study them and find what would have made a good viking location and use that to start my concepts of for the location. 

i think using all these 3 (comic,horror, viking) will lead to a real exciting research journey and a successful end result.

in my research i remmebered a song that was shown to us in a lecture in level 4 by matt. i watched the video and was inspired to make a horror story from this. i feel like this story could be converted into a comic book and could be possibly be a good pitch. all in all i feel that this as a comic would be grate. im going to use this song to influence my story for the comic book. using the story i create that has been inspired from this and mixing that with the viking age, i think has a good twist and would be very entertaining.
