Long ago, in the days before memory, when there were no homes, nor vessels to hold water, no knives to cleave the sweet root, nor hearths to tame the flame, when clay had yet to know the shape of hands, and language still slept beneath the tongue of stone —the world was called Kandam.
A world that should never have existed, forged in the abyss where laws go to die. It was not born of right, but of divine whim. And still, it rose in splendor — with the majesty of the impossible defying its own fate.
One body of land, fused by fury and promise, split only by ribs of mountains, by rivers in heat, swollen with song, by abysses frozen in mid-scream, and by a vast inland sea that held the reflection of every moon: The Middle Sea.
Around its womb-like shores, the first cities grew — like golden moss at the edge of time. There, humans, elves, giants, and dwarves raised temples and laws, sowed fields, sang rites, and danced their lineage into the earth.
There, clay learned to become pottery, stone to rise as columns, and metal to bend into the will of forge…

MetaFlora is an ambitious work that merges the best of classic fantasy with an innovative narrative inspired by Norse myths and a reinterpretation of the mythology. In a world where magic and epic tales intertwine, MetaFlora tells the story of heroic characters, mythical lands, and a struggle for survival in a universe that pushes the boundaries of imagination.
Naturally, the saga carries a deeper message that the author seeks to convey, but it is the reader who must uncover it and be dazzled by its meaning.
My proposal is not just a comic but a unique multimedia experience, presented as an interactive digital comic with animations that bring the most crucial moments to life, allowing for total immersion into the world of MetaFlora. Each panel will gain movement and emotion, inviting the reader to engage deeply with the story.
This is the first story in a saga of 14 +1 interwoven narratives, developed over 7,000 years and across three different worlds:
Stories of superheroes and legendary figures embody the essence of storytelling — the eternal journey of the brave soul. Answering their ancestral call, they abandon their old self to be reborn into a new identity, forged in adventure, danger, and the pursuit of immortality. In a world of fantasy, where myths and destiny intertwine, the hero does not merely fight but transforms, transcending time and memory.
With deep reverence, I have drawn inspiration from the Edda, the ancient compendium that preserves the poetic heart of Norse mythology. My stories are rooted in this sacred source and seek to reweave its essence into a new tapestry of vision and voice.
They interlace the most vital elements, symbols, and figures of the Norse mythos: Yggdrasil, the world tree that binds the nine realms; Odin, god of wisdom, war, and sacrifice; Thor, guardian of thunder and unwavering might; Loki, the shapeshifting trickster; Fenrir, the wolf of fate and fury; Jörmungandr, the World Serpent encircling Midgard; the Norns, silent weavers of destiny; Freyja, goddess of love, war, and the mystic arts; and Ragnarök, the cataclysm that signals both end and renewal.
These myths are not merely retold—they are reimagined across shifting dimensions of space, time, and meaning, breathing new life into a narrative where the legendary becomes the unexpected, and the ancient sings again through unfamiliar voices.
MetaFlora Story: Chapter 1 – 4
Podcast:
Working with models allows me to immerse myself in the essence of my characters, granting them a tangible presence and a well-defined identity. What was once a fleeting vision takes form, gaining physicality, expression, and a heartbeat of its own. Through this interaction, the characters are enriched with deeper nuances, enabling me to develop their stories with greater authenticity and emotion.
Cosplay is an intrinsic part of my creative process. In collaboration with models, we select and adapt costumes to get as close as possible to the character we are bringing to life. In this process, the models’ spontaneity and creativity play an essential role, allowing them to contribute their own interpretation to the character.
The most important aspect is their ability to embody and fully assume the role, conveying its essence naturally. In the creation of specific scenes, models are expected to master dynamic poses that express action and movement. Additionally, they must handle weapons such as swords, daggers, axes, bows, and arrows with confidence and precision, ensuring they hold and move them in a way that conveys an impending action. These poses are fundamental to the development of the comic, bringing realism and energy to the illustrations.
Working with artificial intelligence allows me to generate key visualizations for my projects, whether for photoshoots, character design, the creation of fantasy settings, or any other element my imagination requires to shape a cohesive visual narrative. AI does not replace creativity—it enhances it, becoming an essential tool in my artistic and storytelling process.
Just as Renaissance artists gave new context to their works by liberating them from the religious constraints of their time and embracing Greek mythology, my work seeks to carve its own iconographic path through an original narrative. Drawing inspiration from the aesthetics of classical Greek art and the world-building mastery of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, my work aspires to reach its highest expression through powerful visual storytelling.
At the heart of my proposal is the creation of a unique iconography—a symbolic system that does not merely reinterpret existing mythologies but establishes its own visual and narrative language. The goal is not just to illustrate a story but to imbue it with symbols, archetypes, and aesthetics that reinforce its identity and elevate it as a self-contained and coherent universe.
For centuries, visual artists depended on intellectuals and patrons to define the themes of their creations. However, we live in an era where the artist can—and must—tell their own story without intermediaries. We are not immune to the influence of modern and postmodern culture, with the massification of media and universal access to knowledge. Today, storytelling and mythology are no longer exclusive to an intellectual elite but have become accessible languages for all. It is in this context that my work comes to life: a reinterpretation of myths, an exploration of the symbolic, and the construction of an iconography that, through visual art, expresses a universe deeply rooted in imagination.

In search of a unique visual style, prototypes are tested to define the style, this includes details such as the color palette, the stroke of the lines giving contour to the figures and the degree of stylization of the drawings. In this creative process everything is valid to reach the result; prototypes are created with AI, digital and handmade illustrations, everything can be mixed on the computer to achieve digital results, since the main product to be marketed will be the digital comic. To do this, we work with Midjorney, seaart.ai, PhotoShop, illustrator, InDesign, Premier, ProCreate and 3D Blend

Hi, ego volo scire vestri pretium.
Pretium tamen non posui, quod I’m in evolutione stadii MetaFlora Comic Book. Sed potes sequi, lege primum caput et tuas commentarios scribe!
MetaFlora is truly a unique and multi-layered project that combines classic fantasy, mythology, and modern multimedia technologies. I appreciate how the interactive elements add a new dimension to the storytelling experience. The visual style is well-thought-out and inspired by classical art, which makes the project even more expressive.
