Over the course of my four years at UK I have explored many artistic avenues and ventures. Being an undergraduate in digital media and design has given me opportunities to write scripts, illustrate, and shoot my own videos. This Capstone project will be the culmination of all the skills I have gathered during my tenure at the University. Astro-Veller Part 1 of 2 is a short comic book that I have illustrated and scripted all on my own. It is a fantasy western set on an earth not to unlike our own, where artifacts of fame and unfortune exist. This story follows a bounty hunter named Suki as he hunts down the “DIRE STRAITS” a legendary artifact that upon death if in your possession will send you straight to heaven, at least, that’s how the legend is told. This comic is done almost entirely traditionally, in pencil. The text and lettering were added in digitally. Comic books have been a medium of entertainment that I have enjoyed since I was a child, and I am grateful that I am allowed to present one of my own to the world as a class project. I hope you enjoy it!
