The Cramming Student and the Bug

The story follows a student on his way to an exam, moving through a world that feels slightly disconnected from reality. As he rushes to reach school in time, his path is suddenly blocked by massive “pests.”

I worked on the pest design, the cuts in which they appear from layout to color, and also helped with line art more broadly across the project. The piece explores anxiety and pressure through the collision of everyday life and surreal obstacles.
