Collaborate with the creators of The Very Worst Thing That Could Possibly Happen (VWT) to develop the visual style for the Hong Kong 1997 segment of the story.
1997 Hong Kong Story Artist
CREATIVE PROMPT
Hong Kong, 1997. The handover of the valuable port city from Great Britain to China is looming. In this setting, Raul Pablo Arteaga, a business consultant who’s unmoored and depressed, receives letters from Sara Cloutier, the author of his favorite book— who’s been dead for thirty years. Your vision will capture the contrast between the opulent skyscrapers and the traditional markets, the bustling streets, and the quiet moments in shadowy alleys where our story’s complex plots unfold.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
You can submit any piece of visual content that conveys your vision for Hong Kong 1997, including but not limited to:
- Fully realized comic panel illustrations, altered photographs or video, and collage
- Sketches or preliminary drawings of the environment and characters
