ABOUT

Hello! My name is Liwa, but some of you guys might also know me as Luo! I'm a SEAsian (Filipino diaspora) hobbyist illustrator from Southern California. I thrive on food, matcha lattes, and long hours of naps. I also have a penchant for making OCs for my own projects and for any new interest that I dive head-first into! I'm currently a full-time student, so my activity will fluctuate very often. If you are interested in working with me or have business inquiries, please contact me via my email, [email protected].

PERSONAL PROJECTS

My current personal project is a post-apocalyptic fantasy titled Arbiter: Tales of Iqonia, which encompasses several major and side stories that all take place within the world of Iqonia. I'm currently working on the present-day storyline titled A Ballad to the Horizon, which features most of the OCs that I've been drawing as of late. Other planned stories within Arbiter take place sometime in the past, whether it be several years to centuries or eons prior to the present.Other personal projects of mine, but which are currently in the back burner include:

  • GENESIS/CODE: Some many recognize this as my very first original setting, taking place in a cyberpunk future. The lore and the world are to be reworked, as a lot of its concepts were taken out to be reused in Arbiter: Tales of Iqonia.

  • Where the Abyss Lies: A psychological thriller. It takes place in an alternate future where mankind now lives in underwater districts as a result of excessive climate change.

  • East of Eden: A historical/period noir story taking place in 1950s-era Long Beach, California. It follows the plight of a young woman seeking answers about her missing sister in a home that's far away from their own.
