It's ILUSTRA: Daybreaker's Book Birthday today! 🥳🥳🥳

It's been QUITE a journey from a @dvpit.bsky.social tweet back in 2020 to the book being available worldwide - so, so grateful for all the people who helped make this happen, and those who cheered me on through this project in all its stages!

For PH-based readers, SURPRISE! We have an exclusive early launch RIGHT NOW at the Manila International Book Fair at the
Fully Booked booth!

(so surreal to see my book beside Howl's Moving Castle and Hooky??? 😭😭😭)

Less than a week to go before Daybreaker, the first book in the
Disney-Hyperion Ilustra middle grade graphic novel series, is on shelves worldwide! Have you preordered a copy yet? 🌻

(Yes I will be yapping about this for the next few days ✨)

Early concept art for Hanan - Daybreaker's Goddess of the Dawn! 🌄

My Daybreaker ARCs are here! So, so, so SATISFYING to flip through 250+ pages 😭 Just a few more weeks before it’s available on shelves everywhere!!!

Life Lately (2025)!

It's been a difficult few months trying to literally grow a pair -- but now that he doesn't feel like a bloated post-buffet tummy, I'm so excited to meet my son later this year!

One more new OC: the Great Alchemist Katerina. The epitome of vanity in the streets, snuggly gremlin in the sheets.

New OCs? New OCs.

Early designs for my baby alchemists Amarant & Liryo!

Character designs for my OG comic, the Filipiniana/Fantasy inspired SAGALA!

Basically started as "what if Ragnarok Online job classes meet Filipiniana attire?"

Hello, I'm Tori, and I'm drowning in the many, many stories in my head that I want to turn into comics!

I'm almost always chronically offline, but hoping to post WIPs and unrefined sketches here, and interact with humans vs worrying about the algorithm... like in the old days 😶‍🌫️
