The Secret Knots

Work journal: Made some progress in concepts for a series, but I’m also trying to finish a new short comic as soon as possible, so that’s priority now. During the next week, I’ll be sending out Patreon portraits.

Looking for inspiration concerning specific elements of the series, I re-watched Dario Argento’s Suspiria. This time I enjoyed particularly the way it adds elements in the final portion of the story, changing the nature of the menace and closing with a strong ending. It’s a very interesting relation between pacing and intensity, one that’s often missed in mainstream horror movies with their either forced, or indecisive endings.

I shared the dossier for the comic The Move. For every comic I make a long post with sketches, concepts, photo references and even extra scenes. These are some character sketches included:
