Trees, Vol. 1: In Shadow

The blend of cosmic horror and political thriller creates a tense mood. I'm curious how much of this atmosphere was planned versus developed during the art process.

The story takes some time to build momentum, but it pays off with the reveal at the end. Was this deliberate to deepen the mystery or just a natural part of the storytelling?

The artwork has this haunting, layered quality that really adds to the sense of unease. I wonder what influenced the artistic style and color palette used here.
