Team X'el

Aditya Wardana

Comic illustrator whose linework, patience, and long-distance collaboration helped carry Yscariot forward.

Welcome Bio

Drawing the series one issue at a time.

Aditya Wardana joined Team X'el as a comics illustrator and quickly became part of the visual rhythm of Yscariot. In his own welcome note from the second issue, he thanked readers directly, spoke warmly about collaborating with Marcus across countries, and described how every page made him feel one step deeper inside the story.

Even while living in Indonesia and balancing the long push toward a mechanical engineering degree, Adi kept returning to the comic. He wrote about splitting his time between school, a mini-thesis, and illustration, while still wanting to see the cast grow, especially newer figures like Jon. That mix of discipline, curiosity, and genuine investment is part of what gives his contribution its character.

The original Team X'el listing credits him as a comics illustrator who joined in 2018, and that role still fits. His work helps hold Yscariot in the language of comics: motion, tension, impact, and emotional staging on the page.

Art Showcase

Selected personal artwork and process imagery from Adi's studio side.

Illustration

Fantasy composition with celestial and demonic contrast.

This piece shows the kind of dramatic black-and-white image-making that suits comic storytelling so well: emotional confrontation, layered figures, and a strong instinct for contrast. It highlights how Adi builds mood through line and silhouette rather than relying on color alone.

The composition also reveals one of his strengths as an illustrator: he can make a page feel crowded with meaning without letting it collapse into noise.

Linework

Dense ink work with force, texture, and theatrical energy.

Adi's pen work carries weight. In this showcase piece, armor, cloth, and anatomy all push toward the same impression of controlled intensity, which helps explain why his presence on a comic project matters.

There is a clear love of expressive detail here, but also a willingness to let the image breathe through bold negative space and clean framing.

Studio Process

Where the work happens.

Adi's studio photographs make the work feel grounded: reference pages on the wall, sketch paper on the desk, a laptop open to the page files, and the slow concentration that comic art demands. The process image matters because it reminds readers that the Yscariot universe is built through real hours, real effort, and steady craft.
