Great portfolio!
A quiet alley.
A strange signal.
And something watching from the shadows. ⚡
When the blade lights up, you already know the night just got dangerous.
A cinematic comic-style sequence set in a dark city alley.
The scene follows a young fighter as a strange signal activates his glowing blade, revealing a mysterious figure lurking behind him.
I wanted to focus on atmosphere and tension, using cold blue tones, neon lighting, and dramatic panel composition to create a suspenseful moment before a confrontation.
Style inspired by anime storytelling and graphic novel layouts.

The atmosphere here is really strong. The cold blue tones and neon lighting build tension perfectly it genuinely feels like the moment right before everything explodes into action.
This was a case study I developed for my students during my AI image course at Helsinki Summer University.
Together we explored how an editorial visual language can continue consistently from image to image and further into moving image within AI-based visual production. The focus was not the technology itself, but authorship — how AI can be used consciously as part of a creative process.
For me, AI is not about generating images, but about how visual worlds are directed, shaped and continued by the maker.
Alongside my artistic work, I now offer trainings as well as commissioned visual and animation projects for clients working with AI in their visual production.
