Top panel: teen Ko’grah sulking crybaby simplified style wise almost like a chibi, sad with two text boxes that say “my late father was a famous boxer, until his untimely death two years ago” “he was all I had… I was then, just passed off to my aunt, the sister of my ma I never really got to know” Second panel: he stops and we see the back of his head and upper torso overshadowed as he on looks at an ongoing college basketball practice game happening within a metal fenced outdoor court. Various basketball players are pictured faded in bg playing excitedly and fast. There’s a indigenous adult man peering at ko’grah, catching him watching for a moment with another monologue text boxes that reads “as silly as it sounds, I used to hate sports cuz I blamed it for him leaving me” This panel: a close up side profile shot of the indigenous middle aged adult man (Dasan) humorously smiling as he says to ko “hey- kid, like basketball? Wanna join?” To which in a small offended bubble ko’grah (pictured chibi doodle style) super angry offended shouting no and F U !!

Look at my first page of “bankshot” which is in full color n rendered !! First panel is teen ko’grah being kicked out of what was his adopted home by his aunt and him shouting “WHAT THE HELL!?!” upset and stunned, the next panel is his aunt up close clutching at her chest playing helpless victim and blaming this teen for causing trouble without knowing the story and she says “you’re more trouble than we can afford, such a problem child!!”, and the final striking borderless panel pictures ko stunned n betrayed tearing up as he feels the suffocating weight of her next load of passive aggressive toxic words at him. She blames him for too much trouble and holds it over him that they were just being nice to his late father by taking him on and have been nothing but nice but he’s so ungrateful and a burden, basically. More of an investment than they wanted to take on nor expected from a troubled teen. It’s all colorful graphically rendered and color gradient edited. The final panels speech bubble holds a bold red and purple outline over the black to bold blue background.

Screenshot of two panels of the first color page of bankshot chapter 1. Read left to right. First panel is teen Ko’grah getting shoved out of a home and covered in the aftermath of a physical fight, angry teary. Second panel is his adoptive aunt, emotional but eyes overshadowed by bangs and clutching at her chest seemingly helpless but firm.

I wanna have more expressive narrative like some manga techniques I really admire :)

I also learned from my previous practice to keep storyboards looser even if kinda ugly baha
