Participating in Shonen Jump manga competition

Shonen Jump (Japanese magazine dedicated to japanese comics called "manga") has announced a global manga-contest. Anybody from any country can submit his own manga chapter, written on English, Japanese or Chinese. 
I decided to grab the opportunity to try myself in it. Actually, to create manga was my dream since childhood, and now i have finally made this dream come true:) 
Thanks to Olaf Urbanski who told me about this competition, helped with creating the LOGICAL story, made some text corrections, inspired and supported me:)) (additionally, we have a story/ ideas not only for this chapter, but they go far beyond it`s frame. And they are cool B`) )


Description of manga which i written in my Shonen Jump account:

It is a story about people who want to seize the power over all countries on their planet. But accidentally, thanks to alien girl, they discover that old fairy tale about God`s torn body is truth. Now they have a chance to take over the divine creature. And ultimately- over the Universe.

Deadlines

Cool to get email at early morning from customer: "Alexandra, i`m going to publish the book by 1. November. You need to draw 15 illustrations+ cover by more early day. " 
Aw yisss (c) I love deadlines! They make worklife much easier. 
And yes, women are unpredictable like wind :0 (N.B.: before today there were no time-frames for this project.)

The things which make me like 

"                                                     "

are - how to make this one project in time, how to make manga-chapter in time (by 1. October) and not to lose one more commission.

Manga sketchworks- 1

Currently one of my projects is manga, aimed to be sent to competition. Have you heared that famous Japanese Shonen Jump magazine had announced international manga competition? :) I ackoledge that i`m not professional in comics, and that there`ll perticipate cool artists from all over the world, but hei! It was my dream since childhood to create my own piece of manga. So chance now is quite good. It`d be nice experience and opportunity to develop/ challenge my skills. Moreover, my kind friend and even parents support and help me! So, work flows on totally delightful waves. 
Fun~ 
Here`re kind of teasers where you can see some thoughts about characters, their way of evolution and so on. 

Sketches only:) (btw, i always liked to look not only on completed works, but on sketches also. There`s some intimate feeling, when you can see into artist`s experiments, thoughts, misperfections, fails, quickly-drawn-thoughts and so on)
