Watercolor and ink illustration of "Strange" as performed at Keyland Uncanny Valley Seoul, September 2025. Holbein Gouache, Faber-Castell Pitt Pen, Posca paint marker on bristol.
The costume, lighting, and sets for the first stop of the Uncanny Valley tour were so exciting, considered, and inspiring; I was looking through old manga art and decided a fusion would fit perfectly.
Inspired by (original) Earthian cover illustrations by Yun Kouga and Saint Seiya Doujinshi cover illustrations by CLAMP.
