Project Idea: Comic about Local Legend

As I am planning to produce a canon of work, I wanted to produce a comic about a local legend told in Kirkcaldy. It was about a demon who lived in the ancient harbour of Kirkcaldy who was challenged by a wizard called Michael, to turn sand into rope. He failed and was banished underneath the sands of the harbour.  During the summer of 2014, I was thinking about developing an illustration depicting this tale. I started out with some sketches of how the demon could appear. I was hoping to keep the traditional demon traits but at the same time alter the appearance to make it stand out.

This story can be told through visual cues and symbols. This would enable me to visually tell the story without the need for dialogue or captions.
