Join Africa-comic group!

And so it begins!

And what a better way to begin a comic than with a double splash page? 8D
I've always told you that the first page of Africa was coming, but I bet you didn't expect it to be a double page
 
If Saturday is the day for Chakra, then let Wednesday be the day for Africa!

So, where to begin. Gluing two pieces of paper together symmetrically proved harder than I thought. Scanning them separately and putting them back together on Photoshop was even worse. But all in all, drawing this page was great fun!

This you see is Ngorongoro Crater, a natural reserve in Tanzania. I've made a lot of research about it, to make the story as realistic as possible.
Even the butterflies you see flying in this page are actual butterflies commonly found in the Crater.

The black and blue butterfly is called Papilio desmondi [link]
The black one with red and white spots is Papilio rex [link]
The sand-and-brown one is Papilio nobilis [link]

Speaking of the butterflies, watch out for them! Butterflies play an important role in this comic, let's see if you can guess which one

So, as the narrator introduces us, we are in the dry season.
You: "But Arven, WHERE ARE THE LEOPARDS????"
Me: "Just wait and see."

There you go! I really hope you enjoy these first two pages!
As for the next one, since I've actually already started working on it, I might be able to post it next Wednesday, we'll see.
However, sooner or later, Africa will start updating TWICE A MONTH instead of once a week. Only, not just yet
