This release took a little longer than planned, and I want to be transparent about why.
Over the past weeks, I’ve been restructuring my workflow while developing a new long-term narrative project. Between writing, visual experimentation, and defining a sustainable production rhythm, publishing cadence slowed more than I expected.
Instead of rushing incomplete ideas, I chose to pause, refine the process, and return with something solid.
Framed Souls Vol. 01 marks that return. It establishes a permanent visual format focused on framed dark-fantasy character portraits — expressive, atmospheric, and consistent. This format is designed to scale: future volumes will expand the collection without breaking its identity.
From here on, updates will be more regular, production will be lighter, and releases will follow a clearer structure.
Thanks for your patience — more is coming.
