Comic Nonsense

The concept was to re-create a comic/graphic novel's original purpose into something making "no sense" by illustrating it (a.k.a. redrawing it). Naturally, my choice was a novel that would make a point no matter if the information was there or not.. So this particular redrawing was stemmed from the graphic novel of Jane Eyre. This scene is near the end of the novel, where the lines between faithfulness and the nature of love are paralleled. I then recreated the original scene, eliminating the man from it, and putting this beautiful woman in a extremely dominating and, somewhat, sad scene. The significance of the scene without the man present is unbalanced, which is the struggle in the book with the story of love and male roles in those times...

Not saying too much about my concept, I think that without knowing the story & my intent to design this with a concept, there is so much to be observed and thought about from different perspectives. There are women's roles, male dominance, weakness, dependance and overall awareness in this sad portrait of a woman looking to yearn for someone that is no longer there...
