Project Overview
A Comic With No Words
Axios is a comic about self-growth expressed using not a single word. Silent comics are a bit of an underground community but nothing new. Sometimes a story can be more impactful when the reader has to see the story instead of it being fed to them via dialogue.


Process
Concept Art and an Idea
During development, I had to find efficient ways to plan poses and made the skeleton shown above, which allowed me to rapidly pose out the characters for each frame.
Concept
Early Development
From the beginning, planning was paramount to the story being understood. Every single frame of the comic was written numbered and planned to fit into each page. Everything fits into its designed place.

The Final Product
A Full Comic













Conclusion
Axios was a fun journey to take as an artist. Before I began, I thought making a story without any words would be near impossible, but once, you discover how expressive just the shape of a line can be, it becomes clear any story can be told silently.
