Title of Comic: The Walrus Workout & Mickey’s Beach Party
Date Completed: 7-11-08 & 7-15-08

Describe your story and characters:  How did you come up with this idea?  What are you trying to communicate to your readers?
I didn’t have any reason for creating this. But I thought a walrus would be funny, especially if he was trying to lose weight. I wanted people to laugh and be amused by it.

I thought that Mickey and the others would look cute in a comic. The beach party was a random idea.

Does your comic evoke a certain feeling? 
Both of them are just silly, random and odd. It doesn’t make much sense.

What materials & techniques did you use to make your comic? 
I used the painting and the brush tool the most. I also used inking and some shading.

I used the dodge tool to make different colors for the waves and the sky. I also imported pictures of Mickey and the other characters.

Is this a successful comic?  Is there anything you would change or improve?  
I like it and I wouldn’t change much. But I could improve my use of  lighting techniques.     

I don’t think anything could be changed. It is pretty good as it is. 

What did you enjoy learning the most about the process of making your comic?
I enjoyed coloring and making the speech bubbles the most. It was fun making borders and deciding what colors to use.
