The Lore of Living Lies

Living lies thus multiply then divide the mind’s eye of their owners
Surreptitiously increasing, they’re distinctively releasing noxious toxins within 
their donors
To their chagrin,
Fear lives within
An augmented, exclusively demented, overtly invented place of internal judgment
Finding rejuvenation, removing the devastation, but never full restoration of the 
broken covenant
Pensively stained with much disdain, yet clearly aimed, aching hearts will tell a 
story
They importune mankind, 
And swear of truths with double sides,
And hang the noose between the lines
Much of which is the lore of we.

Hey! I came across your WEBTOON and noticed you’ve used AI-generated visuals for the series. I’m an illustrator and I’d love to help give your characters and story a more consistent, personalized visual style through original artwork. If you’re ever interested in moving away from AI visuals or simply refining the art while keeping your story and vision intact, I’d be happy to show you my work and discuss some ideas.
