Betz Illustration

Betz Illustration’s work on "Curse of the Seven Oceans" (2024) and "Sumala" (2024) really cranks the imagination into overdrive. "Curse of the Seven Oceans" is this wild, gritty adventure that throws you into a world where the sea isn’t just water—it’s practically alive, out for blood, and hiding secrets way nastier than the usual pirate yarns. The story follows a scrappy crew who, honestly, probably should’ve stayed home, but instead get tangled up with ancient curses, ghostly shipwrecks, and creatures that make you question what’s real. The visuals go from murky, storm-battered decks to dazzling underwater ruins, blending the mystical and the downright terrifying. The characters actually feel human, too—grumpy, hilarious, sometimes cowards, sometimes heroes—never just cardboard cutouts. Then there’s "Sumala," which couldn’t be more different. This one’s all about the quiet intensity, the stuff that simmers under the surface. It’s set in a remote village, where tradition clashes with change and personal demons lurk around every corner. Betz Illustration brings a raw, almost tactile feel to the landscapes—foggy mornings, flickering lanterns, the whole deal. The plot peels back layers of family secrets and old wounds, and nothing’s ever as simple as it looks. Both movies show Betz Illustration isn’t afraid to get weird, dark, or brutally honest—there’s always more going on beneath the surface. That’s what makes their work stick with you, long after the credits roll.
