About Gung Ho Panguna nga Gimbuhaton: Ilustrasyon sa Hapin sa Comic Book

Gung Ho usa ka ilustrasyon sa hapin nga gimugna para sa Pranses nga deluxe edition sa serye sa komiks nga Gung Ho. Ang obra maayo naglikay sa gikuha nga itom nga latid nga gigamit sa kadaghanan nga komiks ug naggamit sa cut-out collage nga pamaagi nga nagpabilin sa hulagway nga tin-aw. Ang mga silweta gitagad uban sa kolor aron mamugna ang usa ka ekspresyonistiko nga impresyon nga nagsuporta sa tono sa istorya. Ang istorya nahitabo sa usa ka post-apocalyptic nga habagatang Uropa diin ang pagpakabuhi nagdepende sa lig-on nga mga pamuy-anan. Ang hulagway naglakip sa usa ka gutlo sa katalagman, kaisog sa kabatan-onan ug gibuhian nga adrenaline sa tin-edyer. Ang digital nga obra gihimo gamit ang graphics tablet.

Unique Properties: Comic-Cover for the Comic Series Gung Ho.
The design of the comic series is an exceptional style for the French comic market. Without the drawn line, a kind of cut-out collage still tries to preserve the graphic legibility. Silhouettes are treated with colour to create an expressionistic impression, which serves the tone of the story. The synergy of narrative and aesthetics serves only the dramaturgy and the development of the comic. This Cover image captures the moment of released teenage adrenaline.
Dimensions & Packaging: Edition DELUXE 280mm x 375mm hardcover, 60 pages
Tags: Illustration, comic, digital, photoshop, story, book, series, narrative, storytelling, characters
Production Technology: Digital artwork for the cover of the french edition of Gung Ho - Court-circuit - Edition DELUXE 2.2, created with Photoshop and Wacom Tablet
Design Challenge: The script sets a certain tone with which the story is told. The challenge is to find a style that supports the tone of the story and gives the project uniqueness. When you see an image from the story, it has to be recognisable - that can only be an image from Gung Ho. The German comic market has not been able to develop due to the Second World War and is therefor very small - especially as far as in-house productions are concerned. To get our ambitious 420-page project financed, we had to enter the largest European comic market - the French market. With Edition Paquet we found a partner who supported us very well.
Research: Sequential art is older than millennia as we can see on cave paintings. It is later found in antiquity and can be found in the High Middle Ages on the Bayeux Tapestry. With the printing of books, sequential art became known to a wider readership. In the late 19th century, picture sheets were published, just like short comic strips. Picture and word told a short story.
In France and Belgium at the beginning of the 20th century, a new form of comic strip developed - the comic book - in which longer stories were printed in continuation. The comic series was born. This is also where drawing styles developed, such as Ligne claire, whose best-known representative is Herge with his Tintin. What most comics had in common was that legibility was created by a line drawn with black ink.
Inspiration: The inspiration came from our kids and the question - What if nature stroke back created a new aggressive species? The fictive story is telling happenings in a post apocalyptic south europe, where survival is only possible in fortified cities and settlements. Following the rules is a matter of life and death. Every child knows that. Until he becomes a teenager…
The theme of Gung Ho is on one hand about the destructive side of youth, but also on the other hand its power for renewal.
Project Duration: The project began in Munich in 2012. The first book was published in France in 2013. The project was completed in January 2021 in Munich with a publication in France in June 2021.
Operation Flow: The book was used in the Amiens region of France for classroom discussion and analysis. The aim is to adapt the book into film - animation or life action - or game media.
