\"One\"<\/p>\n

This is an illustration I did for a story called “One” by Marlo Dianne, to be published in the seventh issue of Tales of the Talisman. The story is one page long, so I won’t post even a one-line summary for fear I’ll give away the entire plot. It’s a great story though, with a cool twist. I had to read it several times again after the first time because I couldn’t figure out which lines were literal and which were metaphorical, something I had to determine before even sketching a draft.<\/p>\n

I didn’t do a pure cartoon for this illustration—pure, in my eyes, meaning completely from scratch. I usually do for Talisman, but the nature of this story made me want to have a little bit of realism within the cartoon, so I used some scrap for reference this time around.<\/p>\n

Below is a compilation of the scrap I used:<\/p>\n

\"Scrap\"<\/p>\n

Yep. Body parts from several different people make up my illustrated character, kind of fitting given the storyline, but I can’t tell you why it’s fitting because, again, I’d be giving away the plot. Heck, the scrap itself may give it away, but hopefully not enough of it.<\/p>\n

There is, however, one part of the story I’d like to share. One character asks another, “Say one, just one, sentence that totals your relationship.”<\/p>\n

I’m still trying to figure out what one sentence would sum up mine. What about you?<\/p>\nShare this post:
