| DESIGN NAME: The Thug PRIMARY FUNCTION: Graphic Novel INSPIRATION: Thugs were an ancient Indian Cult engaged in loot and murders. Their modus operandi was to join a caravan as bona fide travelers and gain their trust. Once the fellow travelers had been lured into a false sense of security, Thugs would wait for a suitable place and time before robbing, annihilating, and burying them. This graphic novel is a unique take on many aspects of Thuggee. This could be the first such work to deal closely with this cult's intricate and rare aspects, not known to many. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Thug is a psychological thriller graphic novel based on an ancient Indian cult responsible for killing millions. It is set in modern times when a murder streak commences on a campus, and the clues lead to an eccentric professor, his mysterious student, and an aspiring writer, all obsessed with thugs. The mystery involves multiple perspectives and takes readers on a thrilling whodunnit ride until the last pages. Each page of the book is crafted from a series of exclusive art paintings. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The graphic novel is available in English and Hindi and is intended for mature readers over the age of 15 years. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The illustrations for the project were started in 2021 and finished in 2022. The script was first conceptualized in 2012 and finished in 2022. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: A lot of time was put into the effort to identify the adequate size, paper, format, and structure of the book. For inner pages, imported art paper of 150 GSM is used. The book is 140 pages, perfectly bound with a hardcover. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The finished size of the book is kept at 7 Inches by 11 Inches. The book is printed in multicolor. TAGS: graphic, comics, thriller, psychological, whodunnit, Indian, cinematic, artistic RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Thrillers have attracted me in all formats, films, comics, books, and even video games. However, ironically, in my filmmaking career, I have made films in most genres but thrillers. So, when I thought of writing my first book, there were two essential considerations, it had to be visual, and it had to be a thriller, thus, this graphic novel. CHALLENGE: Through The Thug, I have tried to generate the excitement of a whodunnit mystery and provide an experience that changes with each new perspective of the involved characters. The thugs were a real cult, and much has been said and written about them through different content formats over the years, but transposing that atmosphere to modern times is what I have tried to achieve through my first attempt at produced fiction writing.
