A personal project crafted for Cartoon Saloon / May, 2025 (in the making)
"Liana" is the story of a bear who had to live through a difficult era.
A time when the world had changed so much that humanity lost its way and Nature paid the price.
Our first protagonist, confused and worn out, mistakes a wheel for a seal, drifting across an endless sea of fractured ice, not fully understanding how things came to be this way.
It is also the story of an encounter with a new generation of hope and action, already sprouting from the seeds Mother Nature planted in the heart of humanity.
Liana is a girl of Indian heritage, living on the outskirts of a small coastal town in Ireland.
One day, while playing among the rocks by the sea, on the edge of a quiet beach, she saw a bear lying on the shore…
And she chose to do something for him, for them.
LIANA — Opening sequence: Drifting North

After many days adrift, the ice floe began to melt, and our bear had to survive by swimming. Desperate, he eventually found a new island, one made of floating debris and plastic waste but it saved his life.
He closed his eyes, lulled by the waves and the creaking of the trash island beneath him.
Time passed, unmeasured, salt-stained, silent.
Until one morning, the ocean offered him to the shore.

This story is in the making!
I’ll soon be uploading concept art of the bear’s drifting journey, the character desgin of Liana and the scene where she meets the polar bear on the beach.
Thank you for making it this far!
