#173 – Collaborating For The Reburn Comic: Character Creation, Powerful Scenes And Spreading A Message In A Story With Alyson Shelton & Elise McCall

 

Two of the creative minds behind the REBURN comic are on this week’s episode of GCC; creator/writer Alyson Shelton and artist Elise McCall!

 

In more detail, the conversation begins with Alyson confirming why she made the comic Reburn and how Elise became involved, which leads onto how the two figured out how the many characters would look, they then mention some easter eggs within the pages of the comics and how certain iconic scenes came together between Elise & Alyson. Alyson then explains what elements of the original Reburn screenplay were included in the comics and why elements were omitted, they also discuss the importance of Elise’s artwork and the importance of facial expressions, and so much more – definitely a conversation for art/comic lovers and prospective future collaborators!
