Initially I began with just establishing a sort of style in which I wanted my part of the comic to be, a general over arcing look which the whole thing will have. Personally I'm quite invested in the art style of manga and how they often balance bold areas of light and dark as well as how they use various line art and inking techniques to achieve various looks. Additionally I'm a fan of how generally in comics proportions can be played with and morphed to a certain degree, by this I mean that style takes preference over substance in some scenarios. So with the basics of what stylistic elements I wanted to incorporate into my comic established I began playing around with some rough ideas.
