When I first conceived The Doryan Empire, I wanted to capture the majesty and decay of a once-glorious realm an empire balanced precariously between sea and sky, faith and rebellion. This map is not just a chart of geography, but a portrait of a civilization at its turning point, drawn in ink and wonder.

At its heart lies Dorya, the empire’s radiant capital, nestled along the North Doryan Sea, its domes and spires glittering beneath perpetual clouds. From this center of power, golden banners once unfurled across the lands, binding duchies and colonies beneath the imperial crest. Yet the crimson mark of Sydion speaks of conflict the “Siege Revolutions,” etched in the banner above, remind the viewer that empires bleed as easily as men.

To the west, beyond the Lynet Passage, lies Galecya, a rugged land kissed by the restless Calecyan Sea. Its cliffs and islands whisper of pirates and prophets, of trade and treachery. The compass rose at its border turns upon the wind of adventure, ever pointing to stories untold.

To the east, across turbulent waters, the continent of Chandara rises a land of silver rivers and forgotten gods. Its coasts shimmer with the ports of Shion and Jade, where caravans from distant sands bring spices, silks, and omens. The label “Sea of Chandara” reminds us that this region is as much myth as territory, a place where the known world dissolves into mystery.

Below, the South Doryan Sea glows with radiant suns and celestial guardians, as if the ocean itself were divine. Along its border, emperors, explorers, and conquerors are depicted each standing upon a sea of waves rendered as living flame. They are the storytellers and the sinners of this empire’s legend.

Every flourish, every serpent wave and gilded sunburst, was meant to evoke a world breathing between history and fantasy. The parchment edges, stained and ornate, hint that this is not a mere map it is an artifact, preserved from a vanished age.

In this world, gold bleeds into salt, prophecy into rebellion.
And somewhere within these painted lands, the heart of the Doryan Empire still beats faintly, beautifully, and doomed.

Author’s Description:
A figure draped in elegance and mystery, the Violet Enigma embodies both refinement and danger. His tailored suit of deep purple speaks of power cloaked in sophistication, while his piercing gaze suggests a mind sharpened by secrets and ambition. He walks the fine line between hero and villain, charisma and menace—an untouchable presence that commands both respect and fear. This is not just a character, but the personification of calculated dominance and enigmatic allure.

Blades of Dawn is a cinematic character concept brought to life through expressive design and visual storytelling. Created for a fantasy-adventure universe, the project introduces a young swordsman destined to lead in a world on the brink of chaos.

Every detail from his battle-ready stance to the tailored military jacket and dual-forged blade is designed to reflect courage, resilience, and purpose. The bold red accents speak of valor, while the layered leather gear and polished armor hint at a storied past shaped by countless battles.

The artwork captures two key stages of the design process: the precise line art, where form and structure take shape, and the final render, where color, light, and narrative energy transform the character into a living icon.

Whether envisioned for a game, graphic novel, or animated series, Blades of Dawn embodies the timeless archetype of the reluctant hero a character forged not just by conflict, but by destiny.

As the author of Fearsome Critters and the Will o’ the Wisp, I wanted to bring North American folklore to life in a way that feels both magical and mysterious. This story blends tall tales of legendary creatures with the eerie glow of the will o’ the wisp, guiding readers through a dark forest full of secrets and unexpected encounters.

Through vivid illustrations and storytelling, my goal is to capture the wonder, danger, and humor hidden in these mythic beings. This project is not just about retelling old legends—it’s about reimagining them for a new audience, sparking curiosity, and celebrating the creativity of folklore.

Nature’s Harmony is a hand-painted textile artwork that celebrates the delicate balance of nature through bold shapes, vibrant colors, and organic forms. The piece blends lush tropical foliage with abstract butterfly motifs, creating a lively and dynamic pattern ideal for fabric printing, wallpaper, home décor, or fashion accessories.

Each element from the richly detailed monstera and palm leaves to the expressive moth-like shapes is carefully layered to evoke a sense of motion and connection within the natural world. The combination of earthy browns, radiant yellows, and refreshing greens creates a warm yet energetic palette that’s versatile across various design applications.

Mike & Dave’s Multiverse – Battle for Atlantis (Ep.1)

I worked as the Comic Illustrator for this limited-edition sci-fi comic, creating character designs, panel layouts, and backgrounds that brought the story to life. Using both traditional illustration and AI-assisted tools, I ensured character consistency and dynamic storytelling across pages.

This project was a test market release in collaboration with an American film producer, with potential for expansion into a full series. My role covered storyboarding, inking, coloring, and sci-fi world-building, delivering polished visuals ready for publication.
