Collab sketch with Balaa. This was a concept page for the beginning of a graphic novel idea we had, titled [i]Bandari/i. The book's meant to have minimal text, and uses mostly visual elements to tell the story. And visually it's meant to be very surreal - akin to movies such as The Fall.

The story begins with Bagheera finding a beautiful glass phial in an old book store, filled with a strange sand scented like spice. His pursues the origin of the phial, which leads him to a mysterious Bedouin woman. Upon her he recognized the same scent... but little does he know the scent belongs to yet another being entirely (or may be not entirely...). :>
