Final Major Project

Bulby was a project I started back back in secondary school and it quickly became something very personal. It was partly because of this I had to stop working on it for a year to come to terms with the idea of bringing it out into the open.

The essence of the story is about exploration, fears and interaction between people and the outside world. I incorporated many of my childhood experiences and relationships with people around me which explains why it's such a personal project.

The titular character of Bulby is a cartoonish looking creature who makes a journey through a fantastical and often perilous world. The character invokes very traditional traits of childlike innocence and curiosity. I still find these character traits very interesting in exploring those vitues downsides, the interactions with such a character and possible developement. And course there are many other characters, each with their own purpose, ambitions and interpretations of the story's events.


Bulby says: "...!"

For my FMP my goal is to incorporate the whole of what I deem as 'book 1' into a graphic novel. The majority of the tale has been written and i even have a full chapter of really old pages that should serve as an excellent start. I have yet to decide on whether this is a story i want published as a book or online but obviously it can wait. Until then there will be plenty of character designs, media experimentation and art to come that i hope you'll enjoy.
