Ms. Marvel

Artist Statement

What inspired me to choose the format for this project was the comic Ms. Marvel itself. I felt like I wanted to know more and curious to know what would happen after the ending. I decided to sort of switch up the very last scene with my own perspective and extend the scene a bit. I decided to recreate the scene with a different idea. My audience can be anybody. Especially those who love and enjoy comics. I noticed that Ms. Marvel has more to it so I wanted to recreate the last scene with my own idea and imagination. I want my audience to know that the last scene of the comic could of ended in many different ways. I want them to learn that in my scenes I decided to have Kamala reveal to her mother that she is Ms. Marvel and include her mother’s reaction and opinion on Kamala’s powers. I believe my audience will be able to learn this easily by reading the panels and finding out what the scenes are all about. The emotional impact that I was going for is probably the impact Kamala’s mother  was going through when finding out that her daughter is Ms. Marvel. My scene will basically show that Kamala’s mother is shocked and concerned that her daughter is Ms. Marvel who basically risks her life to save others at a very young age. The specific panels in Ms. Marvel that inspired my panels are the scenes in which Kamala transforms as well as the scene that shows her family. What I learned about my project in which I created was that I had to get creative and figure out what I wanted to do. Since I wanted to give the last scene a bit of a twist of my own, I had to figure out how I was going to do that by drawing and writing. I had to imagine and develop ideas as if I was the author of Ms. Marvel. My perspective was unique in the way I thought about the way I changed the final scene with my own ideas. I decided to have Kamala reveal her self as Ms. Marvel, which I’m curious to know if she actually does in the future. I learned about the creative process of writing and drawing from this project. It’s very important when it comes down to analyzing this piece of literature as a reader. I would like to learn more about the little details and messages that can be find throughout the entire comic, Such as the small words hidden throughout the drawings as well as the background and setting which I did not include in my scenes. If I had another week to work on my project I would definitely work on my drawings and add a lot of details and colors and the background drawings. I would also add more panels and scenes. I will take the creative process of this project into future projects to help me improve and develop my ideas more.
