Drifting

A short proposal for a graphic novel I’m currently working on. It’s a Sci-fi story about an alien girl exploring planet Earth for the first time and encountering many bizarre things.

.

My thesis project is a graphic novel which follows 20-year old Cielo, as she lands on Earth all the way from planet Viridi. Bored of farming her dad’s land on Viridi, Cielo teleports to the forbidden blue planet, Earth. Shortly after her arrival, she encounters a talking cat. Chib, a gossiping and grumpy gray cat, will become her unlikely guide.  He tells her humans no longer dominate Earth–rather, people from other planets are using its resources. Most shocking, Earth will go through a tremendous ice age in 5 years due to the moon floating far away.
What kind of things will they both encounter? What kind of place has the world developed into? What do they plan on doing on a planet that doesn’t have much time left? Adventurous explorations await them. Even though everything is imperfect on Earth, and everything is failing, she is enjoying herself and her new friends–which she never could find on her own planet.
