Arns Room

About Arnav

Hi, I'm Arnav — a creative. I design, draw, and write, usually with a myth open in one tab and a match on in the other.

This room is my corner of the internet: everything in it is clickable, and everything clickable is something I love.

Things I've built or am building. The screen is always glowing with something.

Poster Experiments
Comic-inspired layout and type studies. Bold panels, halftones, and heroes of my own invention.

I write fiction that lives somewhere between Olympus and a city bus stop — myth, magic schools, and heroes figuring it out.

The Lighthouse at the Edge of the Aegean

A keeper's apprentice discovers the lamp she tends is signaling somebody very old.
“The light turned, and for one full rotation the sea forgot to move.”
Half the Sky in Bronze
editing
Short story — a sculptor is commissioned to finish a statue the gods abandoned.
Court of Second Stringers
idea
A bench player on a struggling team realizes the season is being replayed, again and again.

A longbox of influences. I read across both big houses — what I steal is structure: splash pages, cliffhangers, secret identities.

Panel Rhythm
What I've learned from comics about pacing a page — and how it maps to designing screens.

Heroes of My Own
Original character sketches and one-page origin stories. No borrowed capes — new ones.

Soccer and basketball are how I stay moving. Soccer for the geometry, basketball for the tempo.

Kick the ball on the floor — it still counts as practice.
