Here is my final comic. I tried to arrange the photos in a very linear pattern because I believe it helps keep the story line flowing well.

 

Here is my scene with all the realistic texture and coloring. I managed to use one of my patterns that I created as the rug and I think it turned out realistic.

 

I thought I would upload a couple more photos with the color from a screen shot instead of the render. I also added a glass barrier around the shower.

I decided to draw my character, Maya the goldfish, in photoshop. I went for a simplistic and somewhat cartoonish look for the fish.

 

Here is the Bathroom scene with all of the main mystery objects involved in the investigation.

Billy had just finished his first day of 3rd grade. He was very excited because next week was show and tell and he couldn’t wait to bring in his goldfish and show her off to the class. His goldfish was named Maya and he won her at a fair 4 years ago.

The bus door opened and Billy jumped off running for his house. Warding off his parents questions about the day he bounded upstairs to feed his fish.

Later that day Billy’s parents went upstairs to check on Billy but he wasn’t there. To add to the mystery there was fish food on the floor and a fish net in the sink. Billy is generally very neat and does not leave the toilet seat up but today was an exception. Worst of all, Maya was gone. Confused, his parents took a picture of the mess and went back down stairs.

In the evening Billy came walking downstairs and sat down in the living room to do his homework. His parents confronted him about the state of the upstairs bathroom but a look of confusion came over Billy’s face. Even after they showed him the picture Billy denied he knew what happened. His parents went upstairs but everything was put back in order and Maya was back.

Puzzled, Billy’s parents called Detective Yosef Niam to bring the case of the missing fish to a close.

I decided to create a collage of some of my favorite activities. Over many years I believe what I love to do has shaped me into who I am. I blurred all the pictures into the picture of myself to symbolize their effect on me. You can really see this effect in how I was able to blur my hair into the mountains. I tried to roughly split the picture in half with  bluer colors on the right and more earthy colors on the left.
