In Lava

A serious young woman, Seraphina "Sera" Amadi has been sentenced to 7 years of penal labor on a resource extraction rig...offshore a volcano...that occasionally leaks fire spirits. To reduce her sentence she works tirelessly to extinguish these spirits. But Sera's more troubled by her company, particularly one very unserious young man, Frank "Frankie" Boen who seems intent on setting her heart ablaze. In Lava was completed in under a month to be submitted for a manga contest. As usual I'm not happy with how my work turns out, but I have anyways shared the one-shot as submitted, only adding a cover, which would have exceeded the 60 page limit of the contest. I hope this manga is worth the time it took to read, feedback is welcome! Thank you for reading, I've got many more stories to tell, please look forward to it!

Madness At True North

Purp, a young girl, and her adoptive mother attempt to fufill their dream of making pilgrimage to see the light of a star. Madness At True North was completed in under a month to be submitted for a manga contest. I worked on another 59 page one-shot manga simultaneously for which I had completed the writing and storyboards and handed off the art to another artist (This contest had a 59 page limit). The story and art components of this work were incredibly rushed and I do not believe they are indicative of my current skill level. Despite the glaring flaws I have shared the work here in the same condition as it was submitted for the contest. Excuses aside, I hope someone manages to enjoy this work, and I'm curious to see what thematic interpretations people might come up with. Thank you for reading, please look forward to my future works!
