Incandescent is about a young wingless fairy soldier named Lev who discovers the true reason of why his home, The Hive, is ceasing to exist. This personal project features visdev pieces, characters, backgrounds, and color keys.After a wingless fairy soldier ends up on the losing side of a civil war, he is thrown into the world above where he must return home to stop the collapse of the incandescent magic that keeps everything alive, all with the help of a temperamental traveler and a show-pony prince.

Storytelling is a huge passion of mine so processes are important. Many of my works start from thumbnails to quick color keys, and sometimes layouts with tonals.
