Keep going even when it's hard to move, eventually doors of opportunities will be open for you... Maybe.

Hello, this is my first post here. I guess I'll just post my personal pilot project. This is a test page; I want to see how my artwork and the lettering would scale with Katsuhiro Otomo's Domu.
I'm an introvert and I don't talk much other than art & videogames. Nice to meet you 😁
