I chose The hound of hound of baskerville and chapter 7 at random. Not much action in the chapter so I worked with what I had. Any suggestions on how I could improve these?

This assignment was difficult ! I chose Charlottes Web, the chapter where the goose shows Wilbur how to escape his pen

I chose the Hound of the Baskervilles. Main theme: Rational vs. Supernatural - Man vs. Nature Chapter 2 Synopsis: The origin of the legend of the hound is traced back to the tale of an evil baron who was killed on the moor by a horrific beast. In the present day, a descendant of that baron is found dead under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind a vast fortune.

One of my favorite scenes from Moby Dick is when Ishmael wakes up to Queequeg snuggling him. I thought it would be fun to show him with the New Zealand (shrunken) head. However, after re-reading it's clear that the shrunken head was packed away before Queequeg hits the sack. And it was made clear in the assignment instructions - STAY TRUE TO THE NARRATIVE. So with that, I literally opened my copy to a random chapter and was greeted with Chapters 89/90 - chapters on the Fast-fish/Loose-fish laws where it in essence explains that a whale which is beached or loose, even if pursued by a ship with the crew's harpoons in the whale, it becomes property of the Crown. Then explains that the King gets the head and the Queen gets the tail. I'm envisioning a designed, graphic feel. Play with division of land/sea, of king/queen and heads/tails.

I went with The Hound of the Baskervilles. Landed on chapter fourteen. In the first thumbnail I liked the visuals described in the book about the fog looking like an ice field and the house a floating ship. Second thumbnail is after the Hound has been shot with Watson examining the body. The third is upon discovering Mrs. Stapleton tied to a beam in the center of a room used as a gallery for a butterfly collection.

Inspired by Peter Rabbit. I wanted to keep it very simple. First idea was the 3rd image. Mr.McGregor small (loser) escaping Peter big (winner). Idea process: silhouettes - different colours - a few riming words. These are thumbnails, first ideas, so I didn’t work on it further, but: - still to find one drawing style for Peter - and I’m not sure about keeping the text as it is. (maybe add: “away from the angry man” in the last cel) - more corrections I don’t know yet I hope I stayed within the rules, but the ideas took over in a way. oh and the choice of colours was just 3 for each cel.

Dracula Chapter VII. 1- The dead sailor’s hands tied to the wheel of the schooner Demeter, clutching a crucifix. 2- One of the sailors, during his night watch on the ship, encounters the mysterious, extremely tall and pale man. 3-As the Demeter runs aground on the sandbank in Whitby, a huge black dog leaps onto the shore and runs inland.

Moby-Dick: Chapter 48, The First Lowering - Couple of views from the first part of the chapter. 1. Ahab sets out with the hunting party (which is not normal), with secret crew members that were just revealed. A black shape, like death himself, a harpoon & ropes. Framed by the shape of the Pequod. 2. Pequod hunting crew, a black mass, all hands, ropes, ores, coats, sleeves, harpoons. (thinking of what the whale sees!) 3. Still a black mass of hands, harpoon, ores, small boats framed by the coming storm clouds - which cause a lot of problems on the hunt.
