This is the first scene of my comic strip, it represents me. Although it is not the greatest representation I believe I accomplished a fairly well job. In this art i used a very tiny pattern of squares for my skin color in order to create a comic popping effect. Additionally this pattern was able to change the color of my skin to a color not available in the basic swatches that we were restricted to using.

This is the second scene of my comic strip which poses the question, "You're a senior?". I used more square patterns with minor alterations to the one seen in the first comic strip. This created a very popping effect. This scene just responds to the statement on the first comic-scene. I used a gradient and a 3D bevel and gross effect on the letters of the font that I selected in order to make it really stand out. Although I now wish i used a different color scheme for this project, i'm fairly satisfied with the result of this scene.

For the conclusion of my comic strip i chose the statement. "DUHH." I chose this because in the second scene a question essentially just reinstates the statement I spoke in the first scene. I placed a great deal of detail within this portion of my comic strip. I placed a gridded star pattern as well as a 3D effect on the word and emphasized it by placing it dead center in the image. Additionally i have several star patterns hidden among the background and other images within this work, all varying in size and color. Furthermore I also incorporated my only brush strokes in this work and additionally my own pattern of lines, as can be seen vertically, horizontally, and diagonally in this piece.
