Eshkà


"It's the night we climb on the hill,
and stars choose us"
Gris is a young woman from a world devastated by an environmental and spacial disasters. A special kind of "force" appeared during the cataclysm, named "Eshkà" (spark), allowing living beings to survive harsh conditions on the planet, and to fight a dark creature known as the Corruption.
Rejected because of this absence of magic, Gris is trying to find her place in this world and get answers on why she's different. She's gonna travel around the world and will be joined by multiple people along her journey, some with very good intentions, others not.
Eshkà's idea was originally pretty different and made for a university pitch project. I started to work on it during spring 2021. In december 2021, I had a dream that inspired me a digital painting and an original song, "La Colline aux Étoiles" (The Stars Hill).
This story is meant to be a comic first (estimated date : 2026), and I intend to create a short animation as well. The comic will be posted online and hopefully it will be edited and printed someday.
