Process Works
1. COVER
With all the references, i began to sketch my cover first.
fig 1.2 sketch
The cover show, the "monkey's paw" u can see blood coming out his hand,
because every time they wish about something there would be a sacrifice for
that to happen.
I began by tracing an image of hand (my hand) in illustrator, then i use
photoshop to adjust the effect and color, and the blood.
fig 1.3 the elements
I use effect and liquify in photoshop to create the hand looks and using brush
to add blood
fig 1.4 after adding effect in photoshop
I add this to the illustrator and continue adding some depth effect and many
more.
fig 1.5 cover progress 1 and 2
After some consultation with Mr. Hafiz, he said to remove the wrist and
make the hand look more old and embalmed.
To began with, I read the monkey's paw story and began to search what parts
I'm going to use for my comic panel. I also watch some animated story in
youtube to understand the story visually.
fig 2.1 animated video for "the monkey's paw"
After I watched the video, I began to search for some references for art, the
transition and how the frame ink will be.
fig 2.2 references #1
fig 2.3 references #2
With the parts that i already chose in monkey's paw story, i highlighted the
important key to know what should i draw for every panel.

fig 2.5 sketch progress (left : sketch, right : frame ink)
After some consultation, Mr. Hafiz told me to tightening the frame ink
because it's still loose and change the first panel frame ink
and I need to add the surrealism touch, so I made the background looks
surrealistic
fig 2.6 final sketch
After i finalize my sketch, i began export it to illustrator. I trace my
sketch using pen tool and using some references for the person.
fig 2.7 progress digital #1
For panel 2, I use the hand from the cover of monkey's paw and liquify it.
After that I made the person using pen tool. For the background, I use pencil
tool to get that effect.
fig 2.8 progress digital #2
then i made the last panel first before the third because the person i'm using
going to be the same just need some adjustment on the face and hair.
fig 2.9 progress digital #3
fig 2.10 final webcomic before coloring
After that i began coloring the panel, I chose green and blue color for
the panel.
I made the person wearing red to have a contrast with the background
color, as she is the main focus.

3. ANIMATE
For the animation, I decided to animate the tears in panel 1, the hand in
panel 2 and the lights in panel 3 The hands will become longer and suffocate
the person, like trying for help.
There are 7 frame in total for the animation. After i made it in illustrator,
i export it to photoshop.

Self Reflection
This task is probably the most difficult one to work on. There are a lot of
steps and many detail to work, we have to make the cover, the comic and the
animation as well. For me, the most challenging part is the comic, the details
are a lot and it's quite difficult to trace my sketch in illustrator. I have
to search a lot of references to find color palette that i like. Even though
it's really challenging, i manage to finish it and hope for the best for this
task.
