Made by a writer, for the stories writers carry
Jellicle Chronicles began with the guides our founder, a working Korean web-novel writer, needed for their own stories. Each title is researched, designed and produced in-house, then launched on Tumblbug, Korea's largest crowdfunding platform for creative work.
The name comes from T. S. Eliot's Jellicle cats, who live ordinary lives and once a year step into the light to tell their true stories. We think every creator carries a world like that.

Volume IX, in development
Jellicle Pose Lab
A web tool for illustrators who want to understand how the body moves, not just copy a pose.
- Find a movement and view it from any angle.
- Pause at any moment between two poses.
- Compare skin, muscle and skeleton in the same pose.
- Read notes on what to look for when drawing it.
We are in design and technical testing now. The first release will be a single arm-and-shoulder movement, tested with artists before the library grows.
Already live: a browser tool where writers build a horror setting and its rules, then play through it.
