Torani - an Indian designer label collaborated with actress Tamanna on a beautiful photoshoot which was inspired by the love story of lord Krishna and Radha. To me their story is all about the intensity, passion, beauty, madness and joy people experience when they fall in love with someone to the point of being devoted to them. I feel like this shoot captures it so well but sadly they had to take it down because the public didn’t want to see their gods this way.

I’m working on a lore that is also inspired by the story of Shiva and Sati and I worry a little bit about the backlash I might receive but then I remember that this is the reason I’m building in web3. I have the autonomy to distribute my comics however I want to a global population. I’m very grateful to be able to do that.

Anyway, here are some more shots from that photoshoot just coz I’m a huge lover of Torani, Tamannaah and Indian mythology and think that the art that came out of this shoot deserves to be out there in the world. ✨

I started creating the first comic in the Coven Classics series during Buildspace N&W s4, thinking it would take 2 months. It took 10 months and 3 illustrators working nights and weekends alongside our day jobs. We documented our journey and learnings on X and Warpcast.

As I gear up to drop the second comic in the series this Spooktober. I wanted to share a short animated teaser from the first issue, complete with original sound design. I hope you enjoy it! I will try to document my journey on Orb this time. 🖤
