Oriole’s not some fragile thing waiting to be protected. This moment is all hers, and she owns it.
Episode 29 is live. 🔥
If you’ve been quietly following, this is me waving hi 🫶 You don’t have to say anything, but if something stayed with you, I’d love to hear it, no matter how small.

One truth buried in translation. The other…still unspoken. 📜
In the quiet of the Welesian archives, Oriole uncovers something the Federation never meant to be found. But the Federation’s not the only one carrying a secret. Episode 27 of The Barrier Scroll is now available. #webcomic #wetoon

One last sneaky peeky before release! Work has been so hectic and I've been super busy at a conference all week, (with absolutely no time to draw)—BUT, I should be able to finish up this weekend and have it out soon. 🙏💞

Lots of folks telling you what you shouldn't be doing while making your comic. Here's what you SHOULD do:
• Draw whatever you want
• Write whatever you want
• Create however you want
As long as you do no harm. Your creativity deserves freedom, not the weight of someone else’s dogmatic opinions. #art

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to sit down and really render out a piece! Also this scene isn’t canon (not that canon anyway). I adore working on this story, I really, really hope that shows! This narrative has altered my brain chemistry in ways you have no idea. ❤️ #romantasy #webcomic #art

Sneaky peek from episode 26, it's taking me a bit longer than usual: work (my 9-5) is very demanding this time of year, I also hurt my back 😅, and I'm making some of the episode in a NEW art style for a special reason. 🙃 #romantasy #indiecomic #webtoon #highfantasy #romantasy

Bring back worldbuilding that shapes the story! A world isn’t just a backdrop—it influences everything: the characters, the stakes, and the narrative itself. A kingdom at war, a forgotten ruin, a land scarred by time. The setting matters. #worldbuilding #fantasy #storytelling #webcomic #indiecomics

A panel from Ep 24 that I ended up not publishing. The scene felt too intimate between Oriole and Bolse (and they're not love interests) so I opted for the fog/horse panel instead! The panel is too lovely not to share though! #webtoon #art #comics #highfantasy
