Ayendell, last heir of a shattered elven kingdom, is cursed to share his soul with a forgotten dragon god. Armed with a blade of light and a coin of fate, he wanders a fractured world, seeking purpose, haunted by the voice of the ancient deity inside him.

As he’s pulled into battles not his own and faces enemies both mortal and divine, Ayendell must decide who he is—and what he’s willing to become—to reclaim his freedom.

This is the legend before the legend. The story of an elf, a dragon, and a lot of people standing in their way.

REDVINE is my graphic novel that's currently in development, and this project—the culmination of three years of relentless creation—offers a rare window into the life behind the work. Centered around the story of Ayendell, REDVINE is a high fantasy epic grounded in deeply personal themes of identity, purpose, and transformation.​

​

This exhibition charts the evolution of REDVINE, featuring a sprawling wall of storyboards, character sheets, sketches, scripts, and visual development. These artifacts trace the successes, revisions, and missteps that have shaped the project from its earliest ideas to its current form. Rather than presenting a polished end product, the focus is on the process—the winding, often chaotic path of building a world, refining a narrative, and holding onto inspiration through years of change.​

​

This project is about more than just a single story. It’s a testament to the journey of making graphic novels and manga—the discipline, the doubt, the discoveries. And in sharing that journey, I hope to make visible the quiet, determined work that happens behind the scenes.​
