What began as an Inktober challenge inspired by the prompt “Nomadic” evolved into a personal story about self-doubt, independence, and moving forward. Set in a whimsical world of floating machinery and drifting clouds, the series follows two adventurers in Nomadic Duo (2024) and revisits that same world in Nomadic Solo (2026), where one adventurer takes flight on her own.

Nomadic Duo was originally created for a contest I never got to enter because someone I was with made me doubt my abilities. I finished it anyway. Two years later, Nomadic Solo became a reflection of what came after: learning to trust myself, finding my own strength, and realizing that being single is better than being with someone who makes me feel incapable.

Sometimes, the person who doubts you isn't you. At least the gears believe in me.
