So... what do you do when you are working at a mini-market, alone, during the night, and a freakish creature walks in to buy a carton of milk?

You panic. That's what you do. So does Patricia when she sees Pepe (Pete) for the first time. Such is the plot of the comic I'm working on for a contest.

This was a concept drawing, trying to capture the moment the main characters meet for the first time. Both have had slight changes made to their appearances in the final version, but the essence of the scene remains the same.

Want to know more about this project? Well, you'll have to wait, 'cause if I happen to win I won't be able to show anything else, but if I lose (most likely) I'll probably be posting the entire comic around. Fingers crossed.
