Hi everyone! This is my submission for the Storytelling Challenge. It is a 7-page short story titled, "APE." I am planning on lettering it, but for now I wanted to submit it without any words since this challenge is about storytelling using art. Each page is done with a black Fudenosuke brush pen on 9x12 bristol board. For a bit of context, the story is about a gorilla who is essentially a hitman (or hit-ape, if you will), and has been assigned to take out two men who have been perpetually robbing a trade route in the desert. I will probably expand it at some point, so think of this as the opening scene.
