Mansion of Trepidation
This is a choice-based solo fantasy adventure in the style of the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books I developed in vanilla JavaScript. The graphics and text descriptions are generated using AI tools.

Timelapse Painting Videos in 2025
2025 was a productive year for my digital painting hobby. In some of these graphics, I wanted to explore the soul-healing nature of drawing with a range of concepts such as psychological tree drawing, alien landscapes, 90s extreme comics, a paint-over for a demoparty and many more. Here are the timelapse videos of my creations (some of them have articles related to them).

The Blind Woman and Cats
A Lucid Dream Comic
This is a three-page comic based on a story from the dream diary of Lucid Fera. The dreamer watches a blind woman encountering her cats and contemplating existence. I drew the comic on paper, colored the panels using Procreate on the iPad Pro, and used Comic Life on the Mac for layouts and lettering. You can find the detailed steps of the process in the project description.
