Wake the Spirits; "save" the world.

Two Mages depart on the journey of their lifetime to save the world from a potential threat of which few are aware. 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 and a darkness is surrounding Seldra. Will it turn out to be the mistake of the millennium?

This is a very personal and experimental comic, beginning to stabilize in artistic style and quality since its restart in January of 2008. I've invested a lot into it and to this day invest even more. Since its world is based off of one I created when I was a child - a very colorful, fun, playful world - I feel it is closest to my ideal fantasy world. With an increase in art quality and added polish to its world and characters, I hope to make Millennium one of the top fantasy comics, in one aspect or another.

Your death is my living.

Picture this: you're in a strange, new place. Everyone, especially the guy you like, seems to think you're "odd". You're encountered by myths on a daily basis. Oh, and you're a death god now.

At the Institution for Training in the Arts of Death, people who have renounced their former lives struggle to maintain their humanity 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, mercy, and the highest of loves—especially when one lives to deal with death and that beyond.

This comic is an experiment in black and white comicing and toning - in addition to many different modes of storytelling and getting into characters' minds and lives. In writing, it has become very elaborate and complex amid many characters and an infinite array of scenarios for them to face. To balance such social and paranormal aspects with that of the constant hardship of battle and responsibility while also keeping a lighthearted and more humorous side - let's see how it goes for the characters, and for myself.

Fantasy / Drama : Full Color / Nov 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 quickly thought-up and quickly-executed short comic made for my Illustration I final. All things considered, it came out well - but, for a time, I couldn't even look at it.

On Hold

Soluna

Adventure / Spiritual / Anthro : 1 color / Concept - 2008

The Witch's Word will freeze your path to Luna.

Akatsuki finds his time upon him. Leaving his comfortable, colorful home of Sol, he ventures off with his one true friend to be reunited with his sister in chilly, distant Luna. Along the way, his very soul is challenged in numerous and almost unimaginable ways.

A story meant to illustrate the finer, subtler points of morality, Soluna acts merely as a thought-provoker. Could you see yourself as Akatsuki, abandoning all that you knew to return to the distant one that you loved?

Moon Puma

Fantasy / Drama : Full Color / Concept - 2006

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 a dime.

Probable, yet Unlikely

Supernatural / Adventure : Black & White / Concept - 2004

I'm free to pursue myself!

Alpha Projekt, the world's only functioning cyborg chimæra, has a very boring, run-of-the-mill cyborg life with her "creator"/"savior". Her window of adventurous opportunity opens when an unknown man breaks into her lab to steal a very fragile piece of technology. They both find themselves jettisoned across worlds, Alpha ultimately (yet willfully) pulled into the man's quest to locate the planet on which his former lover, now a tree, resides.
A very "random" story in both concept and execution, it aims to do little more than amuse and occasionally captivate.
