This page is an excerpt from a short-run comic I illustrated about a troubled teen burdened by magical tattoos which were gifted to her from her ancestors that she views more as a curse. As the protector of the world, she struggles with the weight of this legacy. This particular scene unfolds within a dream, revealing how her ancestors once wielded the same power and why it was needed.

This six-panel page demonstrates my ability to convey narrative tension and character readiness within a compact layout. Set on a tranquil beach, the protagonist’s magical tattoo begins to glow, alerted that a sea monster is approaching. The sequence builds urgency through expressive posing, panel pacing, and environmental detail. Designed for print, this piece highlights my strengths in visual storytelling, dynamic composition, and world-building, all within a single page.
