Hi people of Steemit! I’m not sure how this website works and if you really get rewards for posting your work… But I want to give it a try.

I’m Trolzilla (it is my nickname obviously) a french girl living in Paris. This september I will integrate one a the major french art school ENSAD (école nationale des arts décoratifs) I’m very happy for that and cannot wait to start this new challenge :-) Meanwhile, I spend this summer working at an organic grocery store and… drawing!

Drawing is what I spend most of my time doing, so I think I’ll share with you what I am currently working on. It is a project called “AI — Assisted Intelligence” a small comic (maybe a futur short animation)

The story of my comic: "AI - Assisted Intelligence"

The story takes place in a not so far future at just 3–4 generations after ours. The main character is a lonely traveller who do everything by himself. As he travels, he stumbles upon a city where everything is managed by robots, AI… almost perfectly.

Almost, because when the night come, the whole city is plunged into darkness, but it doesn’t seem to matter to any citizen he met in this city. They all live this way for many years and seem to get used to it. A whole human generation lost their skills and knowledge on how things work around them and depends solely on robots.

The hero starts to investigate and discovers an automated factory of light bulbs. He then notices that the whole factory is trapped in a endless repetitive loop, because at the end of the chain, one robot, after verifying each bulb, sends them automatically to the recycle chain and then the loop restarts.

Trying to understand where is the bug in the assembly line, he found a flaw in the welding of the tungsten filament. He corrects it and then few minutes after, the factory starts to ship automatically new packages of light bulbs toward the city.

As he continues his journey far from the city, he notices with a little sense of satifaction behind him the city enlightened in the darkeness.

This story is in fact an adaption of a sequence from the book “The Mockinbird,” a marvelous science-fiction novel about AI that I highly recommend to you if you like sci-fi of course :-)

Now here are some photographs of the current state of my work and myself. Below is how I organise my work. I put everything on the wall to get the big picture of what I have to do:

- on the left are the character designs (main character and robots workers)
- at the center, it is the storyboard
- on the right, it is the layout, background, environnent
