Head sculpt in Blender!
Now that the concept was decided on, I made a 3d face sculpt to show the side and back of the face.
The logic behind this decision was that creating the base 3D model although is time consuming, but building
a 3d character and exporting them from multiple points of view is quicker than
hand-drawing 2D views for the whole story.

Ideation starts!
I’m finally ready to start working on a graphic novel. Actually, this dream is a lifetime in the making. I struggle a little bit with making time for this as this is still a side hustle and I only get to work on this after my 9-5!
Story development is in full swing! I’m writing, rewriting, sketching and thumb-nailing.

Lewis Carroll’s fantastical tale of magic cakes and secret doors, grinning cats and warbling turtles, has never been out of print since it was first published.It’s timeless themes and characters have been interpreted in different ways over the years and this will certainly continue in the future.
In this project, we will explore how Alice in Wonderland may be interpreted differently in the year 2023.
