So I have to do a graphic novel (well 4 pages of one) for my illustration final project. I can pick any point in the story so long as the pages are sequential and original. If it turns out like I want it to and I can get a new printer I will totally continue it online.
That sounds really cool. What are your idea(s) for it?
I want the first few pages to belie the rest of the novel. It starts out slice of life style following a guy named Ted who is a bored depressed college student who doesn't know what he wants to do with his life and has odd jobs around campus to get by. He participates in sleep studies, fixes computers, steals his Wifi from his neighbor and is generally scraping by.
He wakes up early during one of the sleep studies and realizes that he is strapped down and the machinery he is hooked up to isn't the typical brainwave stuff that he saw when he walked in.
The researcher that he is working with starts freaking out and trying to inject him with more sedatives and Ted starts threatening to sue and tell everybody what is going on, so to keep him quiet the researcher/mad scientist tries to electrocute him to death on the table. The electricity works like a shock therapy on the enzymes, hormones, growth factors, etc. in Ted's blood and turns him into a giant monster (with an awesome horrible transformation sequence where his bones grow first)
The rising action of the story is basically Ted trying to escape the military, the mad scientists guy's experiments (created on a military budget), and the general populace who hates him. He also has to learn how to live as a giant monster.
Readers Digest version. Flimsy pretext for giant monster battles.
