The Street Avenger
Medium: Risograph Printed Comic
The Street Avenger is an upcoming Action/Noir series centering on a ruthless vigilante waging war on the criminal underworld. I utilized Adobe Photoshop to apply black contour lines and dark color palates to showcase a stylized 2D illustration. It evokes a grounded aesthetic with cartoony and realistic elements that feel more akin to comics and animation.
The intention is to showcase a character-driven narrative with action, suspense, and development. In this particular comic, you will be introduced to the city before witnessing the protagonist’s brutality. Near the end of the story, it is up to you to interpret why this character is fully committed to violence while his main priority is to fight crime.
During the creative process, I took inspiration from Marvel’s Punisher along with other original characters, including Batman and Aladdin, to envision my character as an anti-hero with a tragic past. I used the likeness of real celebrities to illustrate my character as a young man with a slim and bulky physique, including Zayn Malik (One Direction), Jon Bernthal (The Punisher), Sebastian Stan (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), and Joe Keery (Stranger Things).
