I'm playing with a few illustration styles to use as flashback mode in Veil of the Gods. Here's today's little experiment.
As always you can expect strong female characters in anything I write. This is the lead- Yonani Khan- the heroine of Veil of the Gods- around whom the whole story is built.

Whipjack Thraw the Cacodaemon.
*sound on
Countless ages ago a disgruntled Cacodaemon retreated from the world to seek refuge deep in his underground lair. And there he would have remained, at peace, far from the squabbling masses of humans who had crowded him out, but for the appearance of a certain Mahjee who was looking to make a name for himself.
This Mahjee worked a Mahjuti Meta-Glyph on Whipjack that bound him within a space-time bubble. In other words, he doomed the Daemon to repeat the same 30 seconds or so of his life over and over, endlessly into eternity. Without respite.
The trap took Whipjack completely by surprise. He’d just finished a poetic warning to the Mahjee that Cacodaemons are immortal and that no Mahjuti tricks could harm him, when a series of glowing Glyphs appeared before his eyes. The ancient daemon, who long ago had proved he was invincible, found himself cocooned in a veil of shimmering sky-blue light. And that was that. He was trapped.
When it rains, it pours. This is the scene from Veil of the Gods I'm working on today...
