PERSONAL PROJECTS

My current personal project is a post-apocalyptic fantasy titled Arbiter: Tales of Iqonia, which encompasses several major and side stories that all take place within the world of Iqonia. I'm currently working on the present-day storyline titled A Ballad to the Horizon, which features most of the OCs that I've been drawing as of late. Other planned stories within Arbiter take place sometime in the past, whether it be several years to centuries or eons prior to the present.Other personal projects of mine, but which are currently in the back burner include:

  • GENESIS/CODE: Some many recognize this as my very first original setting, taking place in a cyberpunk future. The lore and the world are to be reworked, as a lot of its concepts were taken out to be reused in Arbiter: Tales of Iqonia.

  • Where the Abyss Lies: A psychological thriller. It takes place in an alternate future where mankind now lives in underwater districts as a result of excessive climate change.

  • East of Eden: A historical/period noir story taking place in 1950s-era Long Beach, California. It follows the plight of a young woman seeking answers about her missing sister in a home that's far away from their own.
