Independent Studio · Est. 2026

Sci-fi storytelling, forged in Lubbock.

Terran Studio is an independent imprint building the Conflict Space universe across books, an animated series, and original music videos — one shift, one chapter, one frame at a time.

The Lineup

Three lanes. One universe.

Paden Hodges

Paden Hodges built Terran Studio out of Lubbock, Texas while working TDCJ prison shifts, donating plasma on rotation, and driving Uber at 3 AM to fund the gear. Conflict Space is the result of that grind — written nights and weekends, illustrated and animated on a single workstation, scored on borrowed time.

The studio's promise: every story it ships is built the same way — by someone with a day job, working the long way around.
