Wednesday Meeting Janurary 31st Report Summary

Our wednesday meeting was a general check up on where everyone was on their projects and also to discuss travel arrangements. Most members were present.

Things that are required but not yet achieved:

Millie and Vicky to do blog, as well as send a picture and short bio (along with blog link) so that the website can be updated.
All members need to select (can be updated with the cover further down the line) an image to represent their respective stories and write a brief synopsis.

Member reports:

Jaz is still in the research stage but heading towards the character design aspect.

Millie is starting her research into her story.

Josh is up to date on research and now focusing on character design.

Sarah researching and designing her characters.

I am up to date on my research, excluding the photo references I plan to get when visiting the Biddulph Gardens this weekend. My characters are designed and I am half way through their character sheets.

Viky was not present so status is unknown.

Comic con discussion:

For travel arrangements Josh, Sarah and myself will be staying with Millie. Jaz will be staying in the hostel through the university, and Vicky is getting a hotel.

Travel arrangements, we are looking at trains on the Wednesday 23rd so we have a day's grace to get organised once up there. For travel into London we will be getting a Thursday to Sunday all day travel card. We will be booking them soon.

Conclusion:

Although some of our members have had circumstances which have caused delays in work (myself included) we are steadily gaining momentum and getting out work under control. We are all on track as far as we know!

Bone Rank System

I thought, since it is quite prominent in my story, that i would delve into the Korean Silla Dynasty's bone rank system to get a clear understanding of just what it means. The Bone Rank System, so called because it was based on a person’s hereditary bloodline, was introduced as part of a new law in 520 CE by king Beophung. However, GolPum system was technically abolished with the fall of Unified Silla in 935. This is the simplest diagram I could find which explained the kind of standing that people had, and how it corroborated with their title. First of, a Sunggol or 'Sacred Bone' They have to be directly related to royalty on BOTH sides of their parents. Up until King Muyeol, only a Sunggol could ascend to the throne. It was due to the lack of an adequate male Sunggol which made it possible for both Queen Seon Duk and Queen Jindeok to ascend to the throne. They were the last of the Sunggols. Jingol 진골 also known as “True Bone” refers to someone who was dire

Front Cover

Designing my front cover! Using Medibang as the main source for adding colour, I am beyond pleased with the outcome. Using one of my perspective drawings of the shrine I designed, I chose an area I wanted it to be situated. I want to include the three main characters, but not the extra's s of yet, i want them to remain in the story alone. I went through the roughest sketch through to line art and colour all digitally. I had this idea for the cover since the beginning and finally getting to draw it is exciting.

I am really pleased with the final outcome, it is quite brightly coloured and at an interesting angled, but isn't too busy or overwhelming. I think the composition is just about right in terms of balance, and quite effective with the sunset backdrop. For the title the disjointed font is qui

Meetings:

11/4/18 Three weeks are left before the deadline and the stress has begun to raise its head. Its apparent in all the 5 members attending, myself included. Although I am proud to see that instead of panicking and submitting to the pressure, everyone is raising their work effort and trying their best to meet the deadline head-on. The table dimensions was posted today for the MCM table which is 2 x 6 foot. In the following weeks we will discuss the presentation method and display ideas for the table. We also discussed the possibility of business cards and other merchandise for our group. Millie is still waiting on response from her father on the car arrangements, which means there is a halt in buying train tickets for the moment. MCM has rather strict rules against fanart if you are not behind a dealers table so original artworks will be required, weather it is comic influenced or not is another matter entirely and a personal decision. Again the banner was discussed, but we came to
