My Revisions for the Extension Panels November 11, 2009
I like this version much better now that it has more variation. I positioned the faces so that they are looking up at the man on the right. He symbolizes God, and she looks to him for guidance, because after all the creator is the one who gave her her special psychic powers.
Since my character sees into the future I am showing a close-up of her eye. The florescent dream-like colors are the fact versus fiction aspect. There are so many distractions, she sees so many things, yet she must discern the truth. The picture that I overlaid onto her eye is a sign with inverted colors. The use of this sign overlay is symbolic as well, because she is in tune to the signs around her in order to discover the truth.
I’m not sure what I think about this one yet. It definitely needs some work. I do like the idea of my character in a cubist picture, because it fits with my story line. Her senses are heightened since she has the special ability of seeing the future so many eyes and mouths symbolize how she sees better than the rest and it is her duty to warn people and guide people.

My Character: Isabel October 14, 2009
Isabel
My story is of a young woman named Isabel who can see the future. She was born with this incredible burden and must live with this gift the rest of her days. From an early age she began seeing things before they happened. She never had the chance to be a child, she suffered with the pain of her intuition. When she told her family of her visions, they disowned her. From then on Isabel learned to live on her on, trying her best to cope with this power. Her lips barely know the movements to make a smile. She lives a life of solitude, fearing human interaction-she wants no one to know of her powers. Day in and day out she sees images of future horrors flash before her. Life as it will be, plays before her eyes like a movie playing on a screen. Not even sleep gives her a rest from these visions. Isabel has terrible night terrors and wakes up afraid, screaming, and crying. She prays that one day she will be free of this burden, but until then she must live with this curse and try her best to find a way to to make good come of this.
