A Love that Withers in Spring 

A narrative comic about a protagonist with an unconventional past, who reunites with their estranged mother and engages in a deeply reflective conversation. The work offers an in-depth analysis of the character’s inner world, centred around the theme of spring.

Haru – Avatar

An avatar created with Live2D, in which a 2D illustration is rigged to appear three-dimensional. It can track a person’s facial movements and use them to control the avatar in real time.

Storyteller-Seri

This comic incorporates Korean cultural elements, creating a distinctive style that seamlessly blends an East Asian aesthetic with action-driven storytelling. Presented in black-and-white, it places strong emphasis on the dynamic line work characteristic of action comics.

Character Design 

Building on the previously created comic and Live2D character, this project expands the world by designing surrounding characters. Backgrounds were illustrated to align with each character’s story and narrative, and their costumes were carefully crafted to reflect their individual identities and roles within the world.

Invisible City

This illustration is based on Italo Calvino’s novel Invisible Cities, visualized through an imaginative re-interpretation. Both interior and exterior architectural settings were developed separately to present a variety of perspectives.
