There was one problem: I kind of wanted to include a background (setting) with her full body to the left but I don't know how to include the easel that way because it would hen cover the entire panels beneath.

Written by Fanny Britt and illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault — who also gave us the magnificent Virginia Wolf, one of the best children's books of 2012 — this masterpiece of storytelling is as emotionally honest and psychologically insightful as it is graphically stunning. What makes the visual narrative especially enchanting is that Hélène's black-and-white world of daily sorrow springs to life in full color whenever she escapes with Brönte.

My Story (Chris)

Here is just a brief summary of my story:

So the setting starts off in the year 2322 where technology has become really advanced. And with these advancements, a lot of high-tech weapons were produced. With these new weapons, World War III began. 

Fast forward 50 years into 2372. Scientists have developed a super bio-weapon in hopes of ending the world war. Although it did bring an end to the war, an unexpected consequence occurred.

The biological weapon started a virus that would eventually drive the human race into extinction. In desperation, scientists have developed technology that would digitize the human minds in order to be preserved even if their bodies are destroyed. It was called Project: Spes (Latin for "Last Hope").

Project: Spes had 5000 test subjects who would then get digitized and transferred to a database. One of these candidates was Mark, the 666th candidate. He is the main protagonist. He was 17 years old when he was enlisted into the project. The Project resulted in 1686 failures, while Mark was one of the 3314 candidates who survived the process. Although the project was a success, the scientists and everyone on earth soon succumbed to the virus's effects and died. The 3314 minds were stored in a computer which went into hibernation mode.

Fast forward another 2000 years. In the laboratory where the computer was hidden, it was alerted by an unfamiliar presence on the earth in a long time, so it deployed 400 of the candidates to check it out. One of those candidates was Mark-666 The minds were inserted into armored robot bodies. These bodies enhanced their strength speed and skills needed to survive.

When the robots went out to scout, they discovered that an alien species was scavenging earth. When the aliens noticed them, they attacked. This small battle was won over by the robots. The robots also faced casualties of about 300. 
They were curious as to why the aliens came to earth and when they looked into the alien ship's database, they discovered that an ancient alien artifact was buried deep within the earth. The robots decided to dig up what the aliens were looking for. When they found it, it was a small plasma sword that seemed way ahead of its time since it dated back to the creation of the earth. The robots also decoded the alien ship's database and discovered that there are hundreds of thousands of other alien colonies in space. It also seemed that the reason the aliens did not take over the earth before was because they were fearful of the inhabitants, humans. Because of the human epidemic, the aliens believed they had gone extinct.

Now that they discovered earth, and remnants of the human race, they declared a full-scale war. This would lead onto another 100 years of robot-alien war. During the war, Mark-666 and his friends discovered something that would change everything. When they were successful in raiding an alien outpost, they discovered that the universe was in fact not created by some huge explosion, but by another race of highly intelligent beings, the Maiores. 
The Maiores were the ones responsible of creating and preserving the universe and all life that flourished in it. The Maiores created seeds which would be sent to hospitable worlds and create life. The human race was one of them.

In case of an extreme crisis, the Maiores preserved copies of the seeds they created into a vault which was hidden somewhere in the universe. The vault could only be accessed by one of the Maiores or any being who possessed the ancient artifact of the first Maiore. This artifact happened to be the plasma sword the robots discovered. Although they had the key, they still had to find a map that would lead them to the vault. Apparently, the map was already discovered by the alien race. The alien race was on earth trying to find the second piece of the puzzle.

By the end of the robot-alien war, Mark and his friends led a bold pursuit on the alien home planet. In the end, there were many fatalities but the robots came out on top and acquired the map to the vault. When they reached the vault, and opened it with the artifact, they were able to retrieve the seed for homo sapiens (humans) and bring life back on earth.

The End

Character development and story boarding

Could you think about a story that you are interested in working?

For example. folk tales, your original fictional story,non-fiction story, history, or any story that you like. :)

We will work on character development and story boarding when we meet next time.





About the story, it doesn't have to be original. However, work on something that no one is going to claim for their copy right.
Your own original story is the best, Folk tales are good ,and any  public domain story is good. ^^
Please write synopsis. I need just 4 -6 sentences to describe the whole story.

If you decide to write your own story, please let me know because we need some time to work on story too.
thank you!
