I haven't talked about the narrative side of the project so I'll do it now. I'm working on a comic because I think that worked well last year. I'm going for a similar style as well drawing with ink in a loose-ish style with a brush. This sort of working isn't very typical in comics which usually have a more solid, defined style. This typical style doesn't really suit my strengths however so I'm trying to create my own ways of doing things. I think the style works quite well (although obviously a bit of tuning is needed) and gives my comic so far a distinct look.
I don't think the lack of a normal comic-ish style is too important as comics today are becoming more and more varied in style anyway, especially with the rise of indie and creator owned comics like those published by Image comics. These comics such as Low, Deadly Class and Paper Girls are my main influences when it comes to comics and those with a more typical style, such as the majority of Marvel and DC's material I find to be rather boring and often just plain bad looking. Of course their are exceptions and even Marvel and DC are starting to vary their styles slightly like with the newest Hawkeye and Batgirl series for instance.
Most comics are still a lot closer to the typical comic style than mine however.
