    paper Let’s Drink To This – Original WEBTOON CANVAS Series

    Project Description:
    Let’s Drink To This is an original comic series written and illustrated for WEBTOON CANVAS, combining compelling storytelling with distinctive visuals to captivate a global audience. Set in the bustling city of Lagos, the series follows six intertwined characters as they navigate a web of power, control, and deception spun by a manipulative businessman, Oga Batlomeo.

    This project showcases my expertise in:

    Narrative Development – Crafting engaging plots, well-rounded characters, and thematic depth.

    Visual Storytelling – Designing expressive characters, dynamic panel layouts, and immersive environments.

    End-to-End Production – Managing the creative pipeline from concept art to final digital publishing.

    Platform Optimization – Structuring episodes for mobile-first reading, leveraging WEBTOON’s audience discovery tools.

    Key Highlights:

    Fully original concept and artwork.

    Launched and published on a major global comic platform.

    Focused on strong pacing, visual cohesion, and thematic resonance.

    Early metrics include growing readership and engagement through direct publishing.

    This work demonstrates my ability to deliver complete creative projects that blend strong writing with professional-quality illustration, optimized for digital storytelling platforms.
