Summer with the Yokai: A Comic Book
I wrote and illustrated this comic book for my thesis project fall of 2025. The story follows a young American boy named Alan who travels to Japan to help his recently widowed aunt reopen her bookstore, but there he encounters Japanese yokai that try to stop him. Alan must stop the yokai and discover the source of their appearances, or else his aunt's bookstore will never reopen...

This project was created by a team of four, including myself, for a collaborative studio course that I took in spring of 2024. My role in this project was mainly background design and illustration, while also having a part in character design.

Character Designs
These character designs were developed with a simplistic art style that utilizes uniform line weight and cell shading. The visual novel titled "Astralis" is centered around the city of Astralis and its polarized population, with every citizen siding with either the use of magic or technology in their daily lives. My character designs are of those who use technology that call themselves the "Wiran", as opposed the magic-centered "Drey". The Wiran's design incorporates baggy clothing, elements of their developing technology, and asymmetrical apparel in contrast to the Drey's tight and orderly appearance.
