FINAL.psd: a stanford storyboard club anthology

In Winter 2018, Storyboard Club put on an exhibit, Rebeginning: A Showcase of Multimodal Sequential Art, celebrating the messy process of brainstorming and idea development that comes before the creation of a finished story. FINAL.psd is the conclusion of that process. The title itself is a reference to the triumphant name that many artists will give their Photoshop files upon finishing a piece of art. In this book, we present the completed works of members of Storyboard Club, finalized after countless hours of writing, sketching, and revising.

Kyle was standing next to a hospital bed. On it was a person, who wasn’t old,<br />

didn’t have grey hair, didn’t have wobbly joints, and didn’t have wrinkled skin. Kyle has<br />

never seen this person before, but he knew it was his brother. He stared at his sleeping<br />

brother as he pondered what to say to Blake.<br />

“Rise and shine, Blake!” No! That sounds too much like our mom. “I know this is hard for<br />

you, but I’m the one who forced you into this body.” …Hell no! …Well, it is his fault for being so<br />

stubborn.<br />

Blake began to open his eyes.<br />

Oh, screw it!<br />

“Your old body had a stroke,” Kyle said, trying to be calm and professional.<br />

Blake remained silent. He looked down at his left wrist and stared at the chip<br />

blankly at Kyle.<br />

“Don’t worry, Kyle. This body feels… amazing...”<br />
