#bugliiart #abominationlabs #comicwip #roughdrafts

A really rough draft of Abomination Labs Issue 1 (page 3);

Panel one - establishing shot of Bartleh Sanitorium
Panel two - the top of Gwish's hair entering the front doors of Bartleh Sanitorium
Panel three - Silhouette of Gwish on top of a stairwell leading down to the basement. Barely visible on the side is a sign pointing downwards to 'Autopsy'
Panel four - Tilted top down back shot of Gwish making her way downstairs
Panel five - Extreme close up of Gwish's medical bag. The final will ideally something inside glowing and leaking out from the seams
Panel 6 - The Autopsy door closing as Gwish enters. Final will ideally have the words "AUTOPSY", and overlapping it, a taped paper reading "Lab of Dr. A.N.Gwish"

I wonder if writers feel this too, when you look at your work and think ‘Was this better in my head?’ Let’s talk creative doubt.
