- Why did you create this work?
Chronos Express is 1 of the 15 graphic novels chosen to be funded by the Hong Kong Comics Support Program. This is my first long, plot-driven comic. The story is inspired by a depressing period in my youth filled with anxiety about the inevitability of time passing and mortality, and then I eventually learned to embrace loss. I wanted to share my experience so to help others. - How were your illustrations used?
All artwork is compiled into a 168-page printed graphic novel. Some pages were printed in larger sizes for exhibition. - What materials and techniques did you use?
I drew the rough thumbnails with pencil on paper, and then completed all artwork digitally using Procreate on IPad Pro. I used customised brushes for the line art. - Was this project commissioned?
