    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.

    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.
