"Afrique"

A little while ago there was an attempt to create a comic-book that would carry the name 'Afrique'.
It would feature a collection of short-storys written by Jan Maroske and would be based in a utopic post-apocalyptic settings in far-future Africa. The attempt rests but is not canceled. The furthest developed story is named after its central character Rarab, a girl that transforms herself into an assasin to avenge the murder of her tribes-people. All the storys feature a traditional heritage and archaic plots around semi-sci-fi technology.













Apart from flying or hovering vehicles and firearms, people in the setting would still be using ancient hunting weapons and clothing, would live in hive-like multi-family-cocoons or in tree-villlages. We stole ideas from everywhere to fertilize our owns.













Rarab's story was planned to follow a certain color-code of earthy colours, if not in style of drawing but rather in terms of colour reminding of cave-paintings. I fancy colour-coding a bit since Miller`s "300", yet don`t master it. A lot of drawings turned out to lack contrast somehow.
