The Legend of Mai and Ghaillan: What I Have So Far

I'm glad the cupcake trick worked!

Reem's Story

Here is Reem's story. The panels didn't post in order, but I'll bring the story and finished text to the meeting today.

Noora Al Sulaiti's Story

Below is Noora's story. It lost some detail when I converted it from PSD to JPEG.

Noora took a really creative approach, and placed a Qatari character in a traditional Korean story.

Ameera is working on the text, but I can give you a sense of the story when we meet.

Check out the woodgrain background in some of the panels--I love it!

Hi all,

Pizza and refreshments will be provided at this meeting. Just thought I'd
throw that out there first .

November 15th is a critical deadline for the project, particularly for the
illustrators. We must meet to discuss where we've been, where we are, and
where we're going. Thus, please make every effort to attend this meeting.
We are approaching at an important waypoint in the overall course of the
project.

Let us know if you have questions.

Best,

Jesse & Patty
