Henrism (????) is an award-winning Hong Kong comic artist and illustrator, best known for the horror work The Head-down Tribe, which won a local comics competition, and the youth manga Backwards Journey («???»). A skilled educator in digital illustration, Henrism teaches color, lighting, perspective, and anatomy in drawing courses. In Pandola, they brought the world to life through richly atmospheric background art—painting the desolate desert landscapes and foreboding castle interiors that ground the narrative in immersive detail.
Rain helped bring Pandola's world to life through expressive use of color, enhancing the story’s emotional palette—from desolate landscapes to moments of confrontation.
Co-appointed with Rain, Jing-jing's joint work added depth and visual cohesion, infusing scenes with mood and narrative resonance.
