Scale's Heart
Made for my EDU 869A Class, this is a short rendition of a comic book during the week we had learned about comic books. Instead of a traditional spread style, I went for a WebToon style, with a top-down scroll component.
I had drew all the panels, wrote the text and came up with the story myself, and brought it all together using Procreate and Photoshop.
Scale's Heart is a story of how people view monsters. In the end, it is all about perspective. Here we are met with monstrous beginnings, letting us know that the majority see this creature as vile, as evil.
A snake whose mouth opens to devour humans who enter its cavern, letting no one in, and not letting anyone tell the tale. The beasts' venomous scales on the side of its heat brandish outwards like a shield, letting incomers knoew that its attacking.
Monsters will forever be monsters. News spreads from the victim's families, those affected by it. Yet, those that went to encounter the beast never made it out, could never tell the true tale of why the beast is the way that it is. You see, sometimes even monsters have a way of doing things, and reasons for such. I wanted to depict thi, to criminalize the serpent whom we have alreay met.
And yet, the whole point of the beast being defensive, attacking those that try to enter its cavern, is that it's protecting something. Someone.
The beast inside protects an ancient mermaid, currently hibernating in healing bubble, trying to regain his strength.
Yet the humans never knew this, never could know this, as the serpent can not tell what it is doing, what its goal is.
A tale of two sides, it shows that perhaps after all, the serpent isn't the one who should be feared, for anyone can look like a monster in the wrong light.
