Today, the Cassini spacecraft ended its journey in space. It was deliberately plunged into the gas giant to ensure that it’s moons will remain untouched for future exploration. 

Above are some of the final images taken by Cassini that were sent just before it’s dive into the planet. As it made the plunge, it sent real-time data back to Earth about various things such as its atmosphere.

day 29: final images

The image you leave your reader with is as important as what you start with. It can also be what you started with.

Ending with an image that’s similar to, or a transformation of, an image from the beginning of your story can be effective because it brings home the feeling of there being a larger arc encompassing the story within. By repeating an early image after the full story is complete, you can also imbue new meaning into it by giving the reader a chance to think about it again with the new perspective they’ve gained by reading your book.

Annie Dillard begins Pilgrim At Tinker Creek with the image of an old scrappy tomcat visiting her in the night and ends with that image. At the beginning she’s distant from the tomcat; he’s an unknowable stranger. But after the full story is told, she tells the story again and we see a kinship with the tomcat, a similar wildness between them. It’s the same image but given new meaning because the narrator has changed.

You can also end with similar settings or motifs—near the beginning of a piece I’m working on I write a party where one of the main characters runs away from the people they love, and at the end I write a party where they stay with them and everyone leaves together. It’s a bit obvious, maybe, but it does the job of providing a mirror to the beginning.

You don’t have to have a big wrap-up at the end, you don’t need to tie anything up with a bow for your audience. As an editor, this is one of the most common things I see writers do—they think they need to spell out what they mean, what the purpose of their story was.

This is where the repeating scene or image can come into play. Rather than telling, let the readers see your character in a similar situation to something from early on, and show how they act now that they’ve gone through the events of the story. No need to wrap up with a final message.

Speaking of endings (smooth transition I know), tomorrow’s the last day of this mini-challenge, and if you’ve been following from the beginning, I’m grateful! We’ll be talking about what to do once you have a draft finished.

Thank you for following along, and I hope at least some of this was interesting or useful for you!

Finalising Atmospheric images

these images are my final atmospheric images

tweaks that i will make before submitting into final A3 document would be adding figures to create a greater realistic vibe and understanding of the scale to viewers.

Misrata, Libya, April 20th 2011. A Libyan rebel fighter covers a burning room containing ensconced government loyalist troops who were firing on them during house-to-house fighting on Tripoli Street in downtown Misrata.

Rebel forces assaulted the downtown positions of troops loyal to Libyan strongman Moammar Gaddafi April 20, briefly forcing them back over a key bridge and trapping several in a building that fought back instead of surrendering, firing on the rebels in the building and seriously wounding two of them during the standoff.

On the last day of Hondros’ life, April 20, 2011, he had been spending his time with the rebel fighters resisting the government in Libya. These images are among the last that Hondros ever took. Unfortunately a mortar shell was dropped on him and a group of rebels as they travelled through Misrata. His work is to this day an important showcase of the tragedies in war, his family & friends continue his legacy through a website displaying his life’s work.

These are my final 5 comics that I have made over the term with the idea of ‘new normals’ in my mind. At the start of the project, I was worried that I wouldn’t be very good at drawing in a comic style, but I found with each comic that I drew, I found myself getting more and more comfortable drawing in this style.
