Comic Panels

For the panels that did not feature the characters in detail, I was in charge of the illustration. Here are the specific panels in page order.

Woodland animals (a fox, badgers, a deer and a crow) were chosen for this imposing silhouette because these characters are part of the upper class in terms of wealth (and the food chain) and therefore they were the appropriate choice for bullying the impoverished and meek mouse, Tommy Tucker. ​

The next panel represents a smug crowd of characters laughing at poor Tommy's plight. The environment is already rather foggy, so I decided to use this and transform it into this cloud of darkness to strengthen the heavy atmosphere. It means Tommy no longer sees the town and can only focus on these cruel faces surrounding him.

The third panel switches to a silhouette of Tommy because the lamppost is no longer lit. Throughout the comic, we decided that the lamppost (which is featured heavily in the comic as it is the only source of light) would gradually dim to represent Tommy's dwindling hope in his life. These silhouettes also draw focus to the grey scarf in the centre, which was his only source of warmth. The scarf versus the other animals' fully dressed appearances also highlighted how poor he was compared to them. This loss of both light, hope and warmth all contribute to the implication of his death in the end.
