Based on the original 1842 short story by Edgar Allan Poe, Wendy Pini's Masque of the Red Death is set in a future, where Anton Prosper uses his vast fortune and scientific genius to seek the ultimate power of life over death.
When his prodigy named Steffan Kabala enters Prosper's life, he unlocks a secret that may send the entire planet into a maelstrom of destruction.
Wendy Pini produced pages of full-color digital art then broke them down into individual panels.
Using simple "tweens" she animated the panels in sequence, often creating additional art to enhance the illusion of movement.
Other recurring characters include Bittie and Ix, two virtual reality gossip journalists; and Royess, Anton Prosper's companion black panther.
