Meet the creator
Dino Tomic
Dino Tomic was born in Croatia in 1988, where his childhood was filled with sketches of monsters, heroes, and imaginary maps. With little television to watch, he and his cousins tuned into German channels that aired Dragon Ball, Digimon, and One Piece — shows that sparked a love for epic stories and unforgettable characters. When Dino later moved to Norway as a teenager, that spark grew into a lifelong pursuit: creating worlds that had never been seen before. He earned his degree in art and spent years teaching future art teachers, but Dino has always been driven by curiosity more than convention. Hard work and discipline have been just as central to him as imagination. Determined to sharpen his skills, he once set himself the challenge of completing a drawing every single day for a year — a routine that pushed him further than any classroom could. That kind of commitment, paired with his restless creativity, is what has fueled his career. Dino has worked in countless styles and mediums, from hyper-realistic pencil drawings to freehand tattoos, salt and sand art, and even fire and gunpowder pieces that transform in front of your eyes. He was among the first to experiment with many of these approaches, and his ability to both innovate and share his process made him trend again and again online. That innovation has led to incredible milestones: his work has been featured in Forbes, projected in Times Square, and included in Ripley’s Believe It or Not!. He created a monumental 64 m² salt painting for Ubisoft’s 10th anniversary of Assassin’s Creed. He has collaborated with Netflix, Sony, Warner Brothers, Formula 1, the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan, Snoop Dogg, and Green Day, and he even hand-delivered artwork to the King and Queen of Norway at the castle. Yet behind all these highlights is the same drive Dino has always had: to invent, to surprise, and to connect with people through imagination. That spirit extends beyond his visual art. Dino has designed several original board games from scratch and even a full trading card game. He has worked with NFT projects, blending art with emerging technology, and is currently developing a digital game. For him, creativity is not bound to one medium — it’s about ideas, play, and building new experiences wherever inspiration strikes. At home in Notodden, Dino and his wife Mina are raising their two boys, Storm Cirdan and Frost Theoden. Their house is alive with creativity and play, from art supplies on the tables to Norway’s largest private board game collection — more than 3,500 unique titles. They are surrounded by family and close friends, love to travel, and are involved in ventures ranging from apps to running a coffee business. Life is full and dynamic, and all of it feeds back into Dino’s imagination. No devil lived oN is where everything comes together. Unlike his salt pieces that vanish in hours, this is a creation made to endure. Dino has spent over a decade building its maps, languages, timelines, and stories. It grew not only from his imagination, but through years of roleplaying with friends — unpredictable, collaborative, and alive. It is the culmination of everything Dino is: an artist, a game-maker, a teacher, a partner, a father, and above all, a storyteller whose work ethic is as relentless as his imagination.
Meet our artists
As Dino started his journey on making his dream of making a manga a reality, he knew he needed the right people for the job. He always loved and mastered drawing, but his style was more on the realistic side. He had a good influence on instagram, and spoke out to his followers so that he could find artists that could put a face to his beloved characters he had worked on for so long. Since No devil lived oN was always meant to be a manga, he wanted artists who loved the manga genre and who had the same drive Dino has. So, he found three amazing artist spread across the globe, and asked them to join him in the creation of his life's work.

Her sketches often carry a sweetness and warmth that balance the darker tone of the story, a subtle charm that adds humanity to the universe. Yen herself is much the same: gentle, kind, and always lifting the spirits of those around her. Her contribution is not only in the drawings she creates, but in the personality she infuses into them.

Adoté is a dedicated and hardworking artist who lives for manga, and his commitment shows in every panel. He doesn’t just draw; he breathes vitality into the world, capturing the kind of dramatic force that makes readers stop and stare.
