The Watchman
(PG; Literature/Social Commentary) Story and art by David Marshall. A child runs across a bridge of silent authority. Unpublished.
David Marshall - Comic Book Art | The Watchman
Substance
Every young artist has to a Kafka story. Guess I was still trying to drive the superhero genre out of my head. Since I had nothing else, I replaced the superhero genre with the first thing that made an impression.
Form
This is also one of 3 pieces for which I've ever used crosshatching. The original art is beautiful, even now. However, coverage took a lot of time.
