Illustrating stories throughout the ages has been a way to connect with an author’s heart. This series of works seeks to display the progressive development of an ongoing passion project of a vigilante hero group that protects their home from a darker force that lurks in the shadows. It is the beginning stage to later development of a graphic novel. This utilization of using art as a form of unconscious expression allows me to work towards the final series and understand how the series work together. The compositions of characters' designs, poses, and elements across the page create a connection with the audience. This continues with defining the personality and life they have connected to the story itself. The loose nature of the lines and colors evokes experimentation to a new medium and breaking the stricter bounds of illustrations in structure and format.  Ultimately, this series is visual development for me to not only reflect on when progressing with this project but welcome the public eyes to the concept of the "Heartfield Heroes".

   

        Each pieces connects with the next, leading the audience to meet the main characters, gather some interest in the world, and possibly understand the story that is being created. This is a stepping stone in the larger project but one that displays the subconscious work throughs of bring this deeper world to life. It displays my inner peace with allowing me to bring to life something that floods my subconscious daily.
