Heavens Attorney



This is ‘Heavens Attorney’, a graphic novel I will publish, for now its fairly short but I intend to make it longer. This book is dedicated to my dog who passed away earlier this year, (2023), and is about what happens after we die, is there unlimited peace and final resting, or. is there just another stage of beuracracy we have to slog through before we can get to our final resting place. This is what Heavens Attorney looks at. My hope is to make death easier to understand and deal with and I hope my graphic novel does this.  

The page shown here is just a snippet into the look of Heavens Attorney, hopefully I will be able to show more soon.


Created in 2023, Ink A5.

What you can see here is process sketches from the creation of Heavens Attorney. Throughout the process and sketching stage I wanted my main character, Mori, to balance out both the depressing nature of death whilst also being able to convey humour. I originally started with a more human character but I later changed it to a skeleton as a I felt that the skeleton was some how easier to tell a story with. The dog is based off my own dog who passed away, so most of the reference imagery is of family photos with said dog. Similarly to Mori I thought the dog should be able to balance the humour and depression of the death of a dog.
