The Spectacles


One of my  uni assignments - choose any of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories, adapt a part of it including designing the characters. A Tableaux and two pages. We could choose any era we wanted to place the story in so....that's what I wanted to go with. I've drawn comics quite a lot in the past, but never coloured them, so this was kinda fun to do. Character turnarounds were produced too. I never used to do that but hey, it's what they do for animation! :)  

One of the goals was to tell the story well enough without the use of speech bubbles. After going through a few revisions, here it is! (It's only a part of the story, so I chose to do only the early half of it)
