ABSTRACT (theoretical thesis)
In the master's thesis Author's comic book: from idea to realization, I will comprehensively present the process of creating comics, from the original idea to the final realization in a low-volume edition. I will summarize my work process and my experience in creating The Bohemian Youngsters comic. I will focus on the following phases: genre selection, storytelling process, approach to painting, first sketches, drafts, and studies. Additionally I will describe the phase of the study of words, images and sound effects. I will also pay attention to the process of correcting comic books, making traditional covers and comparing them with other works of art (works on canvas, sculptures and graphics). I would like to conclude by explaining why comics are also an art form and presenting different opinions on why we place comic in the art world.
ABSTRACT (practical thesis)
The practical part of the master's thesis consists of the following parts:
- Pictures that are the cover for my comic The Bohemian Youngsters. Most of these paintings are gruesome interpretations of the first part of the comic. Images that are different in size and colorful, focused on complementary colours.
-In addition, I have created a sculptural work of various characters, which are shown in the comic book.
-It would also include a woodcut triptych depicting the degradation of one of the characters of the comic with a hidden message.
The paintings, which are shocking in some respects, all relate to the final product. The comic is made in a traditional medium (acrylic, acrylic ink, watercolor), containing almost 40 pages of originally written story created for my master's thesis. I would mention that this part is only the first part of a trilogy that would be intended for later publication.
