Once Upon A Time...
A side series of illustration and concept work for my comic project, Gemini Journey, of contemporary elf character Veil Taffeta at his job in a bookshop with grimoires, magical living spell books.

Sometimes the job is about as fun and enchanting as you would expect

As this was a conceptual side project to Gemini Journey, my goal with the illustration set was to explore a different, storybook-like coloring style for my own portfolio while also furthering the visual lore of the comic for our reference in future stories we plan to tell.


Thank you for viewing!
