Stories built from the moments between words

I’m a writer and storyboarder developing emotionally grounded, character-led webtoons.My first original series is now in development, and I’m looking for an artist interested in shaping its world with me.

FIRST PROJECT · FARM AU

He came to the farm to disappear.

Former idol Shen Yao takes a seasonal job on a remote farm, hoping to escape his debts, his public identity and the exhausting feeling of always being watched.Instead, he meets Jiang He: a quiet farmer with a severe stutter, an intimidating presence and a habit of caring for people without announcing it.Over one uncertain season, escape begins to feel like belonging.BL · Slow-burn romance · Rural slice of life · Comedy · Drama

VISUAL STORYTELLING

Every panel begins with an emotional beat.

I develop the story for vertical comics through episode scripts, panel breakdowns, storyboards and shot direction.My focus is not only on what happens, but on what changes between the characters: a hesitation, a glance held too long, an awkward silence or a small act of care.I bring the narrative structure and visual plan. The final designs, art direction and visual language would be shaped collaboratively with the artist.

LONG-FORM STORYTELLING

A strong beginning needs somewhere to go.

My completed long-form AO3 romance, Real, Not Real, demonstrates my ability to sustain character development and bring a relationship to a full emotional resolution.My ongoing AO3 fic, How to Romance a Doctor, has a planned ending, mapped relationship arcs and detailed continuity work.Some prose drafts, panel-script wording and visual references are created with generative AI assistance. I direct the concepts, characters, emotional arcs, revisions, storyboards and adaptation decisions. Final production methods would always be discussed openly with a collaborating artist.

CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP

Let’s build something that stays with people.

I’m looking for an emerging comic or webtoon artist who enjoys expressive character acting, intimate emotional storytelling, grounded settings and relationships that develop gradually.Experience and audience size matter less to me than creative compatibility, reliability and a genuine desire to shape the project together.We can begin with a small sequence or teaser before committing to a full series.PROJECT · STORYBOARDS · STORIES
