Comics

Comics are a means by which to tell a story in creative and visually dynamic ways; so, I draw them, and I greatly enjoy doing so.

Fantasy / Adventure / Action : Color / Manga : PG10+ : 2003-- / Updates bi-weekly

When the Spirits no longer speak and the Elements can be controlled by anyone, the world's bound to come undone. What're a simple band of Mages to DO?

Two Mages depart on the journey of their lifetime to save the world from a potential threat no one even knows of. With the Spirits' aid through ancient Gems, they might accomplish this. This journey opens their eyes, as they make new friends and travel to the land's ends. As you may have guessed, however, there is much more to this - especially when others desire the Gems. Will it turn out to be the mistake of the millennium?
This is a very personal and experimental comic. The art is not strict and is subject to change, as I explore different ways and styles to execute comic pages. I've invested a lot into it since a certain point and to this day invest even more. It is probably the longest and most overall elaborate of all my projects, both concept and current. (I say this from the sheer amount of content, most of which has yet to show, but is assuredly coming.)
This comic restarted in early 2008, with all-around higher quality, a revamped prologue and polished storylines, and full color.

Drama / Action : Black & White / Manga : Mature : 2008-- / Updates bi-weekly

Eat, drink, and be merry...for tomorrow, you die.

At the Institution for Training in the Arts of Death, people who have renounced their former lives struggle to maintain their own personages while training to become Gods of Death. The history of the Institute is interwoven with many successes but also with many complex relationships and personal hardships, so it becomes easy to lose sight of good and mercy, especially when one lives to deal with death and that beyond.
This comic is an experiment in black and white comicing and toning. It is also one created to explore relationships between characters, and to balance that with creative action.

Fantasy / Drama : Full Color / Manga : November 2005 : Complete

It is in a Dragon's heart to fly. What happens when that is taken away?

A 6-page short comic about the first Dragon to ever fly in the land of Naldia, completed November 2005.
This was a rather quickly thought-up and quickly-executed short comic made for my Illustration I final.

On Hold:

Lost Dream, Last Kiss
Shoujo / Fantasy : Black & White / Manga

Last of the Arens, go now and secure your place in the world, even if it's with the dust of the ground. Find that which you lost and reclaim them as your own, or be forever idle.

Azki Aren-taskelon has lost his dream for the very first time, and he's determined to find its meaning - even if it means traveling to the earth's other end. However, out in the unknown world, things bigger than himself are at hand, and he himself is but a pawn.
This story has been created as a different way of telling a story than normal, or at the very least a different way than I normally do - one almost solely character-focused, though still within an enriched and unified world.

Moon Puma
Fantasy / Drama : Full Color / Manga

Far from redemption and the Goddess' touch, a relentless killer has fallen into Nectir's grasp. Can she move him, or will he only aid in her hastened death?

A story of trust, friendship, and forgiveness for the pained and shunned. Love for the loveless and respite for the restless. Nectir Lidaglia uses Moon Puma, a known killer, as her bodyguard to return to her hometown - but she's got further intentions, however crazy to the world they may seem.
I want this comic to be an art and an emotional journey - whimsy and light, looking into inner beauty, but at times, terrible and frightening, turning on the drop of a pin.
