Wordless Backstory Assignment -- Emily Miranda

Hi everybody! Sorry I couldn't make it, my friend is speaking at the Retro Gaming Expo and I've been showing him around town.  I did the assignment and wanted to talk a little about it.



So Angelee and I have talked about our main characters, Angel E and Devil M.  But who was this cat?  The cat is kind of complicated--how do I show it without blurting it out?  I left a few clues if you can read between the lines.

First, the cat seems to be watching M.  What kind of cat has a tablet??? What are those icons? The cat zooms in to what M is reading--that's fire + house, by the way.  The cat looks upset.  What to do?  So the cat (who sleeps on clouds???) decides to take action.  The cat plummets down, but lands with a "tink!"  (I tried so hard to get little dust clouds but it wasn't working out). That certainly defies the laws of physics.  

So then the cat is at the house (the house that's going to be on fire???), sneaks in, clears its throat, and prepares itself.    

WHAT ARE YOU DOING KITTY???  Why did you sneak in?  What's with the world's saddest face?  Don't you know what's going to happen??? Yes, kitty does.  And kitty has a plan.  

Sure, not all the answers are on the page.  But then, it usually never is, is it?

  1. This looks fantastic! The ink really comes through and I like seeing it as a whole page.
