Painter of the Night Vol. 2 (Painter of the Night (Manhwa))

The artwork and storytelling feel deeply intertwined with history, but I wonder what inspired the author to connect these themes so seamlessly.

The tone feels darker and more introspective here — was that an intentional choice to reflect character growth or the story's progression?

The visuals are subtle yet powerful; I’d love to know if there was a specific artistic influence or approach that helped convey these feelings.
