A collaborative effort from the Anime UCI Club and Anteater Artists Club of University of California, Irvine.
A short, one-shot scroll comic based on our school’s locations and club mascots, including original characters and an original script. I designed one of the characters Antaliya and wrote her character, as well as helping edit the script of the comic and providing storyboards and roughs of the scenes to provide for our talented student applicants.
I was in charge of organizing the Discord server to collect the students interested in taking part, as well as organizing everyone’s portfolios and progress towards meeting the deadline of one and a half month. I kept tabs on and communicated with the applicants and the project leads to make sure the comic was complete and presentable when the time came.
