Hello everyone! I’ve posted here some weeks ago about the unofficial search and find biography I’m drawing about BTS that will be released through HarperCollins in some months. I got lots of support and kind messages from the sub, but some people asked for a more recognizable content related to BTS, because the drawing I posted before was just a snippet depicting Seoul in pre-debut era.
So, here are some snippets for the Skool Trilogy era I’ve drawn for the book! I still can’t post a bigger or more detailed image, but would love to hear your thoughts on it! Even though these snippets doesn’t show all details, I did a lot of research to depict Seoul at that time in a realistic way, including the social divide between modern and poorer areas, trying to reflect the conflicts and fears BTS talked about during that time. I’ve drawn the same model of school bus used in Seoul at that time, instead of drawing a generic american school bus. I also added many references, drawn in my style with my personal creative thoughts and ideas, to music videos, lyrics, symbols, and visual metaphors from their work. My goal is to create a huge visual biography that goes through all periods of their career while staying true to their story. In these snippets, you won’t see JK because he is lost somewhere in another part of the illustration I didnt add here. Lol
For those who didnt read about this project, I’d be happy to have your feedback and answer any doubts or talk about curious facts of my research and creative process. What do you think absolutely cannot be missing from this unofficial visual biography? Specially about ARMY, memes and things you´ve experienced with BTS? What’s your most memorable BTS+ARMY moment? I’d love to consider your ideas and possibly include them in the book as illustrated references. Thanks so much! ☺️
