Soyoki is an independent studio — graphic novels, software, interactive experiences. Original. Ours.
The person who writes the story draws the frames. The person who designs the interface writes the code. This isn’t efficiency — it’s a belief that the best work comes from a single, unbroken line between intent and craft.
We build for people who pay attention.
We are based in New York.

An Independent Studio
Watch & Stream
A beautiful way to watch any format, any screen. No conversion. From the living room to the conference room.
SK-03 is structurally different: there is no server. Custom layers replace the Plex or Jellyfin box, and playback resumes across devices without a transcode.
The library scans in a second, not two minutes, and takes most file types even through network drops.
A Graphic Novel
ÆXIS is a hand-drawn graphic novel series by D.S. Kim. The first book, ANÆMA, follows an orphan who discovers he can communicate with the beasts who were used to build civilization’s technology — and is recruited for a mission to the satellite where they’re kept.
Published September 15, 2026.
Hand-drawn over nearly two years. No AI in its creation or production.
First edition — 200 softcover, 100 hardcover. 212 pages, oversized at 8.5″ × 11″, on 100 lb Accent Opaque. Smyth sewn. Reproduced in CMYK in collaboration with Puritan Press. The hardcover is wrapped in a silk matte case and finished with an archival glassine sleeve and a custom wax seal.
Production System
Not everything needs AI. For anything that does, there’s SK-00. AI collapsed the cost of production. It generates and averages. The shift is that our humanity, our organic judgment, becomes more scarce. It becomes more valuable. SK-00 is where ours is written down — more than 200 rules, each dated to the work that forced it.

Processes & Tools. Never Teams.
Orchestration
Every project starts with the same decision: craft it by hand, or run it through the system. Codified judgment, method, and measurement across discovery, a walking skeleton, delivery, and evolution.
Three loops, two gates, one bridge.
Authored, not generated.
Earth, Live
Astronauts call it the Overview Effect. You see Earth from space and something breaks open. The borders disappear. The atmosphere is a thin blue line. Everything you’ve ever known is one system, breathing.
Only 600 people have experienced it. SK-02 is for the rest of us.
I · Sol — current activity
Eight minutes ago, a single photon left the sun at 186,000 miles per second. It is hitting your skin right now. The same light is warming a skin of ocean thinner than a nickel — and 400,000 square miles of it at once is the surface exhaling heat into the atmosphere: two pressure systems tumbling into a storm that didn’t exist six hours ago.
III · Seismic activity — last 24 hours
That energy hits the crust first — four events at plate III, sized by magnitude, placed by distance.
The ground you’re standing on moved today — 50 to 70 earthquakes a day, most too small to feel. The ground beneath you is never still.
VI · Your air — now
What the ground releases, the atmosphere carries — the field below is your air, drawn now.
Five hundred miles away, a flock of bar-tailed godwits just altered course — they felt the pressure drop in their skulls before any weather station on Earth. The storm reaches them in two hours. They’ll be gone.
All of it is happening right now. It started eight minutes ago. It will happen again eight minutes from now.
Life — species nearby
Everything alive breathes this. You share this location with hundreds of species — migrating, nesting, feeding, all in the last two weeks.
