SYNTHESIS is an upcoming online graphic novel project!
See it at the website here:
www.synthesiscomic.com[It's just a placeholder for now. It will launch soon!]
Influences: Boston MBTA, Tokyo Metro, Swedish graphic design.
Special Homage: Mirror's Edge for the much-needed influential boost it gave my work during late 2008. Marked by the runner's bag on the suitcase

There was just something about the visual approach that game had that made me think differently about everything. It really helped pull me out of a huge artistic rut. So a big special thanks to DICE studios! [Also, the mark on Maia's arm isn't a reference to Mirror's Edge. This has been a part of Maia's design since about 2001. It's supposed to be a scannable QR code -- also visible here
[link] . In the past year though, I've slowly phased out of drawing this from her design.] I'd also like to add, that though Mirror's Edge was an influence on me during this era of my work, not everything with a primary color scheme is automatically Mirror's Edge related. XD Prime real-world examples are IKEA and Legos, which are two other things I love!
Check out the process for the drawing of the image:

Yee! A DD! My first one on an actual artwork! XDD Thank you so much ~
Brosa and everyone else who likes it!
It looks very pleasant and hopeful.
Both the lineart and the colouring are great but I think that the scene it self, as captured and expressed with much skill by yourself, are what make this work stand out.
+fav, congratz ^^
Never played borderlands, hahah -- isn't that game like post apocalyptic wasteland...?
