For the storyboard style comic I decided to build scenes out of Legos. I then took pictures of the Lego scenes and uploaded them to Photoshop. I then applied filters to get the photos to look more cartoon like. One of the challenges I faced was having enough Legos to do certain scenes. Another challenge I ran into was trying to get the photos to have the same look and style, since each photo was different. 

I decided to go with scenes that were mostly set outside. I did this to make the comic more relatable to the real world, and because it was also the easiest way for me to make scenes with the Lego pieces I had. The reason why it is more relatable is because I could use colors in my scenes that were also found outside. This way I didn't have to use different, weird colors for ordinary things. I wanted the comic to have a more comic feel to it instead of looking like real Legos, but at the same time I wanted the Legos to be recognizable. That is why I did the filters I did. I also wanted the faces to be able to express what was going on in the scene, so I drew on the faces. I tried to keep the faces and basic colors of objects in the photos as close to real life as I could. With the faces, colors I chose and scenes I was a able to do, I am overall happy with how the comic turned out.
