For one of my courses this past semester I had to make an undefined project, in some way related to global technology and possibly law. I came up with the idea of making a webcomic, because I figured that would be fun to do - which it was, but I dramatically underestimated the amount of work it would require.
Started out doing everything digital, and a lot of vectoring, but that took way too long. There also wasn't a narrator in the beginning, but I realised fairly quickly that I would need one to make it feel like a comic rather than a picture book. So all the little narrator-Elins are hand-drawn, photgraphed, and then digitally coloured. Because that was just the fastest way to do it. The other characters are vectored. There are also some screencaps. I ended up being very pressed for time, and that's why things are sort of cellshaded, and there are no backgrounds...and also why some stuff ended up being handdrawn. It's not the best art ever, but I'm OK with it.
The final version of the project, that was actually handed in, also had a little mini-article with each page of the comic, each one on a different topic - but I've omitted those here, they're not directly related to the comic, and thus, I think, not needed, or that interesting.
Anyway, now that the thing's been graded, I thought I might as well share it. I did almost no research on it, so it's all opinion. Except for Shakespeare's birthdate/deathdate. That's probably from Wikipedia. Or possibly even IMDb.
