Response to the theme of "Conflict" 

I was inspired by the recent controversy surrounding the WWI memorial at the Tower of London, with journalists arguing that it didn't indicate the true nature of the war and was all too sedate to act as a true representation.

Here, I've tried to emulate a blood splatter or gun shot wound by dropping ink from above to give the splatter effect. My aim was to show the nature between how we remember in a tasteful fashion, and how we should not forget how those people died.

I began drawing out what one of the stories might look like if it were a traditional children's' comic but with an adult twist in the way the characters are treated in the end.

I'm beginning to understand the story here, and work out what images will work where, and where the story is going. I am beginning to try and work out what style of comic I might be interested in creating.
