This is an illustration project, me and Zaky did for a novel titled ELEGI RENJANA by Stefani Bella (hujan mimpi) published by Gradien Mediatama that will be launched on April 2018. Zaky does the manual sketch for the character and i did the digitalizing thingy and adjustment stuff. Some of the explanation of this project will be brought in Bahasa due to the concept of the book and the author's personal data based.
