The senior exhibition is open @nmuart.bsky.social ! Congratulations to Ethan Clark on completing his capstone comic project, “Rekindler.” “In a society built on ritual combat and honor, Azara dreams of becoming the greatest warrior she can be.” #nmuart #nmuillustration #sequentialart #3dprint

Congrats to Amara on her capstone project. The character design shows Agnes, “Throughout her journey she wrestles with the concept of faith, ultimately falling victim to a parasitic dark entity that uses her as a host under the guise of pretending to be one of the ancient gods her people worship.”

Congratulations to @lexamillionstudio for passing 303 this semester. Lexi wrote and illustrated three poems that “explore uncomfortable themes, twisting them into fairy-tale-like scenarios.” #nmuillustration #nmuart #illustration #narrativeillustration #bookillustrator @nmuart.bsky.social

Congratulations to @vanna.artz for passing 303 this semester. Savannah’s 4-page comic, “Biting Time,” is fundamentally a story about two opposing forces, zombies and vampires. #nmuillustration #nmuart #illustration #sharenmu #comicart #zombie #illustrator @nmuart.bsky.social

One of the final narrative animal illustrations from a student in AD119 this semester. It shows the medieval jongleur (left) being asked to join the group of minstrels (right), which represents a change in class standing. #nmuart #jongleur #minstrel #childrensbookillustration @nmuart.bsky.social
