about us
Today, our network of 150+ artists spans the country, working across every stage of webtoon production, from story, storyboard, background, line, color, and editing. We're proud of what we've built, and even prouder of the people who built it.
What drives vertwo, what we're working toward, and the values that hold us together as a company.

Empowering and elevating Indonesian artists to achieve lasting global recognition.
Our Mission
Our Core Values
brand story : new logo, new spirit.
The investments we make in our own people, our own audiences, and our own stories, pick a program to read more.
Internal academy
A studio-run academy for our in-house artists and interns. The curriculum covers the fundamentals every comic artist needs to own: anatomy, gesture, dynamic posing, color, shading, and final rendering.
Each module is taught by our senior line artists and senior colorists, the same hands behind the work we ship, so the craft passes from veterans to the next generation every week.
Events · roadshows
Our on-the-road program, masterclasses, campus deep-dives, and industry gatherings that bring vertwo's craft directly to the next wave of Indonesian creators.
Original IP program
Our in-house IP incubator. Internal writers and artists pitch original stories; we run them through a multi-phase pipeline: Curate, Expand, Produce, Publish, that takes the best ideas from a one-line idea all the way to a finished, published webtoon.
When the three full episodes are ready, we either release them under our own banner or alongside our top-tier publishing partners in Japan and beyond.
