When it rains, it pours. This is the scene from Veil of the Gods I'm working on today...
The Magician- the Mahjee in the world of Veil of the Gods- sometimes needs to look inward to create the most potent spells. I'm commencing a short but much needed break from computer screens and social media as of today. But I'll be back.
I've been quiet about my work for a while. Mostly because I've been practicing some techniques. And I’ve still got a long way to perfecting those techniques, BTW. I just thought I'd share... Mahjeena Jahrool Of all the Mahjeem, Jahrool is the most enigmatic, and the least mentioned, character from the old stories. Yet, she was likely one of the most gifted Mahjuti practitioners to have ever lived. At least, that’s what the word was in every tavern from Purush to Kusht. The truth was a little less impressive, though quite unique, in its own way. Jahrool had a blue Azuranium crystal ball. And with that ball she could see into the spirit worlds and the subtle sub-worlds beyond. And she rarely, if ever, liked what she saw.

I’m having so much fun creating the cells for Veil of the Gods. I forget to post them for you to see. Sorry.
Glyph 999 is one of the most potent tools a Mahjuti practitioner can acquire. In essence a Glyph is a hack into the metaphorical operating system of the Reality Mesh. The technology behind the creation and use of glyphs is too extensive to explain here. In simple terms, however, it requires that the Mahjee who constructs or wields the glyph must be meticulous in its creation. The slightest error can generate unintended ripples of cause and effect that may return to the Mahjee in unexpected and sometimes disastrous ways.

Veil of the Gods is a huge project and I'm so grateful to be able to create it. Here's a new typeface I created for the Graphic Novel and a new depiction of one of the lead characters. Jatta Eye the Poet.
