The Journey to Eyelnd Fever: From AR Demo to Graphic Novel
Eyelnd Fever Season 1 has finally been released after a long and challenging journey of development. Creator Steven Christian shares that it took him around four to five years to bring this project to fruition. The first season of Eyelnd Fever is a culmination of three different projects that Steven combined to create a cohesive and captivating storyline.
The creation process began with an augmented reality (AR) demo, which consisted of the first eight pages of a graphic novel introducing the main character, Roscoe. This demo eventually evolved into a full-color depiction of the graphic novel, which was no small feat in itself. The AR adventures and the first season of Eyelnd Fever have parallel journeys, as they each have their own unique experiences and contributions to the overall narrative.
Exploring the Multifaceted World of Iltopia in Season 1
In Eyelnd Fever Season 1, readers are introduced to the world of Iltopia and its main characters. The storytelling style branches off into something different in chapters 2 and 3, showcasing diverse narratives within the comic. Additionally, an anthology section features newspaper comics that document Steven’s evolution as a comic artist from his early works published at University of Hawaii’s Stuck on an Eyeland blog to his time at Oregon State University’s barometer newspaper and later at Portland State University’s Vanguard newspaper.
Steven credits his teachers at Portland State for inspiring him during his postbac studies for medical school. He discovered that Portland was home to a comic studies program, which allowed him to balance his rigorous pre-med schedule with creative outlets like animation courses, comic writing classes taught by renowned comic writers Brian Michael Bendis and David Walker.
Chapters 2 and 3 were actually developed as part of one such class project focused on interplay between words and images in comics. Balancing medical studies with creativity was challenging but rewarding for Steven. The experience helped him grow as a storyteller and ultimately earned him an A in the class.
Aaron McGruder’s journey in comic creation, particularly with The Boondocks, inspired Steven. He admired how McGruder started with newspaper comics and later repackaged them into books. Following this model, Steven repackaged his own newspaper comics into Eyelnd Fever Season 1, allowing readers to witness his growth as a cartoonist and storyteller.
Eyelnd Fever Season 1 also reflects Steven’s personal journey during a period of identity crisis. After undergoing hip surgery, he transitioned from being a football player to embracing his creativity. Creating Eyelnd Fever became a diary of self-exploration during this transformative period.
