Heatwave is here!! Sort of. The gallery below is all the panels we have finished lining and coloring. (3 panels at the moment.) We will keep adding panels as we finish them. Thank you for your patience! To view the available panels, click on the picture below and use the arrows to click through them. 🙂
When the science teacher reveals there’s a local science competition for a $1,000 prize, most of the kids are eager to form groups and get started. Itsuki and Latifa are joined unexpectedly by the most popular girl in the class, Maria, and the shyest person–William.
At first, they think the biggest problem they will face is the school bully, but as their project on the greenhouse effect develops, they realize there are much bigger problems to worry about.
This year I’ll be drawing the graphic novel during NaNoWriMo. It’s one of my favorite writing events, and while graphic novels aren’t allowed officially, many people still draw or do other projects alongside NaNoWriMo to take advantage of the spirit of the month.
You’ll be able to see the art itself getting drawn by checking this page daily starting November 1st. We were originally planning to live stream it, but during our research on the environmental impacts of streaming, we realized less is more. Instead, the art will be condensed into 2-3 minute clips.
NaNoWriMo Has Begun!
The first day has come and gone. We only have 1 panel to show for it for today, which took almost 2 hours to draw. Although that puts us behind on day 1, it’s also one of the busier panels I wanted to create. Hopefully we’ll get more done tomorrow.
Day 2:
I got several more panels done, but making the videos is taking longer than I expected. I’ll be posting just one video per day in order to have more time to draw the novel, but you can see pictures of drawn panels on twitter @rinexii2 and also Instagram.
Day 3:
A panel from a bit farther ahead. Poor William doesn’t want to be the last one picked, but may be a bit too strong in his approach. 😉
Day 4:
The kids find out exactly how much is being offered for the best project explaining the greenhouse effect. This is my favorite panel so far, but I drew the thumbs backwards and messed up the fix in the ink D: oh well, revisions later.
Day 5:
Everyone wants Maria to be part of their group, so she chooses for herself.
Day 6: Chibi Villain Tantrum, with color! (Just a base though)
