whisper in the castle

Whisper in the Castle is a personal project born from a story I envisioned, where a group of dwarves find themselves living in a castle ruled by a mysterious vampire. The narrative explores the tense and uneasy relationship between the dwarves and the ominous host, set against the backdrop of a castle steeped in secrets and shadows. In creating this world, I designed each character and meticulously crafted the backgrounds to bring the story to life. My primary focus was on capturing the eerie, foreboding atmosphere of the castle, ensuring that every corner, every shadow, exudes the same tension and unease felt by the characters. The interplay of light and darkness, the intricate details of the castle’s architecture, and the expressions of the characters all work together to immerse the viewer in this haunting tale. The works are rendered digitally using Photoshop, allowing me to fully explore the depths of this gothic world. This project is an invitation to step into a world where fear and curiosity intertwine, leaving you with lingering questions and a desire to uncover the hidden truths within the castle’s walls.
