Asterios Polyp

    Asterios Polyp

       Asterios Polyp is a story that follows the life of a troubled man by the same name. Asterios goes through his life with the feeling of having someone looking over his shoulder. This feeling is because of his stillborn twin Ignazio, who is the narrator of the graphic novel. Throughout the novel, different scenes and characters are shown with unique color palettes and art styles. When a scene is taken in the present, there’s more yellow each panel. When it’s in the past the color palette is predominantly purple. In dream sequences,  characters are all yellow. When Asterios and Hana got into arguments their character designs would go from being similar styles to different, with Asterios becoming polygons and Hana becomes sketch-like.
