    I am currently developing a reimagined illustration project based on a past concept featuring a young astronaut drifting through space after an alien presence aboard her spacecraft causes a catastrophic malfunction. This project focuses on visual storytelling, character design, composition, and atmospheric worldbuilding while blending science fiction elements with expressive digital illustration techniques. Through this redesign, I aim to enhance the original narrative with stronger cinematic detail, dynamic movement, and refined artistic direction. illustrator designer
