The Obsessive Collector

In this project, we were required to produce a four-page chapter for a graphic novel based on the prompt and title "The Obsessive Collector". As a result, I created a chapter based on an alternate storyline for two of my original characters, Jay and Isaac.  All the illustrations were made using traditional pen and ink with colours and other effects later added digitally.

This story is based on a mixture of Japanese and old Viking culture, where it was traditional for Vikings to gift their partners a sword, as opposed to a ring, when proposing, and brides in Japan carry small knives, known as Kaikens, in their wedding robes. I combined the two cultures to create a story about two soulmates who, in every lifetime they meet, store their proposed kaikens in the chamber of a secluded, abandoned church.
