Sumarul concursului

I’m seeking an artist to help bring a minimalist, black-and-white webcomic to life. The style is inspired by xkcd, featuring simple stick-figure characters and basic expressions. The comic follows a comedic miscommunication between a mech, its pilot, and a girl trying to play catch. There are no background elements—just two characters (plus the mech) interacting in empty space across approximately 10 panels.

You must use the art style described and use the character design from the attached files. You must show character consistency across panels. I can put a prompt into an LLM and publish slop just as easily as you can, so don't bother.

Style & Key Details
Stick-Figure Characters: Very simple lines, with basic facial expressions (e.g., happy, sad, neutral).
Minimalist Art: No backgrounds; black-and-white only.
Consistent Panels: Most panels show the mech and the girl from a side-on perspective.
Panel Layout: The mech is usually on one side, the girl on the other, with minimal movement except for the story’s escalations.

Almost every panel should be static, with the robot on one side and the girl on the other, facing each other. The robot remains fixed in almost every panel. This can be broken into more panels as needed for clarity and cleanliness

Panel 1: Girl stand in front of mech and says "Want to play?" The boy is visible in the mech, but behind glass. The boy: "Oh, hi!" but it doesn't make it past the inside of the mech. Outside it's silent, like there hadn't been a response.

Panel 2: Girl lightly tosses a ball to boy. "Threat Detected" the bot announces and dodges the ball. Boy's dialogue: "Not like that. How do you work this thing?" Again, it doesn't make it out of the mech.

Panel 3: Girl picks up the ball. "Oops, you missed it. Lets try again".

Panel 4. She gently tosses it a second time. "Threat Detected" the bot announces and a metal shield appears. The ball hits the shield and falls straight down. Girl - A small thought bubble: Does he not know how to play?

Panel 5: Girl: "Let's try an easy one", tossing the ball lightly, from closer. Underhand, like to a child.

Panel 6: Threat Detected. The mech catches the ball and fires it back hard. Impact: Girl gets hit in the stomach. She doubles over, winded: "Oof."

Panel 7: Girl: "Okay… guess we’re not playing." as she turns around and walks away

Panel 8: "Threat Detected, Lockdown initiated."  The mech fully seals, squatting down like a like a child with its arms around it's legs, no visibility inside. Girl's no longer in the scene. Inside the mech: "Help…" outside the mech silence.

Panel 9: Time Skip (Next Day): Girl returns, cautiously approaching the mech. Girl Calls Out: "Hey… you okay in there?" Inside the mech "Get me out of here!" Outside: "Threat Detected." Weapons deploy. (Missiles, saw blades, lasers—all comically over-the-top.) Girl Runs Away: Flailing, dodging attacks.

Panel 10: This panel is the only to deviate from the layout. It shows the boy in the mech, now Completely Sealed Off. Dark, cramped, alone.
