About Lorecrafters

Lorecrafters empowers creators by providing narrative development with an insightful, inspiring, and humorous touch, helping them feel energized and find their unique voice.

About CARILLUS

Carillus is the Director at Lorecrafters, AKA the “head” of the studio team. With over 7 years of experience as a professional creative, he uniquely blends engineering smarts and artistic flair to every story.

He was previously the Creative, Merchandising and Events Director at Merryweather Media (MWM), where he provided art direction and planning across the majority of comic and merch projects under the studio. This also included work for ASTRALINE, the virtual talent agency arm of MWM; he successfully produced and launched the VROYALE card game, along with developing novel ways to produce extensive lore videos under extreme time and budget limitations.

You might know his art and writing from WEBTOON series like “ExCo” and the award-winning “Grandma’s Cake Recipe”. As a true multi-hyphenate, Carillus has also crafted or assisted on various VTuber lore projects for big names like FSP's Gen 2 - Ravanis, hololive’s Mori Calliope, and VShojo’s kson (at Anime Expo 2022); often writing, directing and drawing for these projects.

At Lorecrafters, he teams up with Cazz to provide engaging narratives to life and building solid, sustainable production pipelines from the ground up – while sharing his knowledge with fellow creators along the way.

About CAZZ

As Creative Producer and Studio Manager at Lorecrafters, Cazz is the “heart” of the studio team – known for connecting the right people to bring big creative ideas to life.

With over 6 years as a professional creative, Cazz formerly served at Merryweather Media’s (MWM) first comic letterer, then rose to studio management and creative production during the pandemic. During her time at MWM, she wrangled diverse projects, oversaw studio finances, and provided vital communication + direction for artists, talents (ASTRALINE), clients and partners alike – often on challenging budgets and short notice.

As her virtual persona RAINA (geared towards VTuber-facing work and content), she boasts an extensive production portfolio. She has produced and managed narrative projects for prominent VTuber agencies (hololive, VShojo, Nijisanji, First Stage Production) and various indie talents. Her work also includes VA direction (and sometimes voice acting) for many of these projects, and overseeing brand collaborations + comic/ad productions (VROYALE, Gamer Supps, Ironside PC). She also provided planning and logistics support for ASTRALINE’s talent managers and all their projects.

Beyond these roles, Cazz co-created ExCo and Grandma’s Cake Recipe on WEBTOON with Carillus, and contributed translation work for Manga Materials’ anatomy study guides. She also formerly provided community management for various artist learning communities on Discord.

At Lorecrafters, she teams up with Carillus to empower creators to tell their own stories – whether through direct production assistance, or guiding them to do it themselves sustainably!
