SATI
This story and illustration was a part of book series I created for my college for Comic Con Mumbai. This is the third part, the twist with this book is that I choose to take up Indian story with International art style.
This is a Sati-based story done in Van Gogh Art style. My love of colors has been expressed here. I took up this story along with this art style for my book because many of us know about Sati and how the ritual is done, but via this art style, I wanted to show the flow of emotions and thoughts of the lady. I wanted to capture the essence of the whole ritual and make the reader feel the moment of "awe"
I started creating this in October 2018, I got inspired by the article of Linda Heaphy on the practice of Sati. I started by dividing the story into 12 parts. The challenge was to make the flow of the story and the art style. Since Van Gogh has a very unique style and flow of the brush. But the most fun part was adding colors to the storyboard, even though this was dont digitally I love the colors of every page and they speak to me on different levels.
