Spindrift

Spindrift is another webcomic I read that has a very in depth story and intriguing plot. It features a modern fantasy story that is free to read and it started back in 2006, at least with the first ideas. It began production in 2011 and has been published into a book that same year.  

The artist and Writer goes by the name Elsa and here link to her comic is here: http://www.spindrift-comic.com/comic/02/92

It follows the story of a character named Morwenna who is caught up in the crossfire of two races. She happens to be half of each race and is alienated by both sides leaving her isolated. However fate intervenes and she is now on the run from forces that want her prisoner or worse... 


The artwork is quite nice and the characters are well designed and the dialogue flows smoothly, if your looking for a good modern fantasy story i suggest checking Spindrift.

Preacher

1. Were there any prominent symbols and how were they used?

I noticed that when the came lead to waking up the Saint of Killers there was a snake on top of the coffin. In the bible Snake represents an evil that lead to Eve eating the apple and grant sentience upon mankind. Now for the sin of that sentience The snake protects the saint of killers for when evil descends upon mankind?

2. were you able to make a personal connection and what was it's nature?

I made a personal connection with jesse and how in the beginning he got drunk and spouting off people's secrets that were told in confidence. It resonates with me because I too suffer lack of faith in my religion and even tho I am not a priest people confide in me and it makes me see the world as it is. It leave many powerless to stop things from happening and a sense of injustice that the world can be so wrong and a nagging sense that there is nothing that can be done.

3. If you where to adapt this story to a different medium how and why?

I would adapt this story into a webcomic constructed from Adobe photoshop and format it into a more high fantasy way that would give it a more spiritual sense. This way be more popular with the audience as most of today's comics are done in this fashion.

JollyJack

Since Highschool when i was just doodling art and not serious about it I followed and still do this artist called Philip M. Jackson. An artist overseas he had his on site called http://www.collectedcurios.com/index.html which was his personal website. Within the website he has a section called "Sequential Art" where it follows the story of Art and his roommates and all there crazy adventures.


Following a simple four panel skit updated periodically, each strip uploaded gives a humorous take on day to day problems each with a punchline that the end.



However, ever once and a while, Jack throughs a curve ball and takes a direction for the absurd in a very hilarious way.


I recommend you check out some of his stuff if you want a good laugh.
