project GUROOMIE scene sketch

Hi there!
It’s been almost a year since my last post—hope you’ve all been doing well. Over the past months, I’ve been working on a personal project called GUROOMIE. It was an attempt to step outside my comfort zone and build a much larger world and story than I had ever tried before. Everything about it was new to me, and I learned so much through trial and error.

I started without knowing much about storytelling or structure, and somehow the project has grown to over 200 images. I’ve now reached a point where I need to pause and re-evaluate the direction of the narrative and worldbuilding.

Before I do, I wanted to share some of the progress I've made along the way.
It feels good to be back here—like coming home.
Thanks so much for your continued support!

P.S. I’ve been consistently posting sketches and WIPs on Instagram—feel free to stop by if you’d like to see more of the ongoing rough work: https://www.instagram.com/kim_jaehyun_art
