The Dark Tower

 A big influence for my western comic project was the book series The Dark Tower by Stephen King.  The book is a sort of post apocalyptic western with sci-fi elements as well as things going on in the real world. I was most interested in the western elements and the post apocalyptic elements and decide to start storyboarding it. This was partly down to me having very clear imagery in my head of what the beginning scenes would look like.

Eventually I took the setting and applied it to my own story and that's where the bulk of my current comic project has come from. Also drawing the initial scenes for the opening of the storyboard made me really like drawing single cinematic style scenes, well composed and a little bit epic. These sorts of scenes are what my comic evolved into interestingly enough making it more like a storyboard than a comic by the end of the project.
