The Older You Get The More You Realise There Are Constant Signals Being Sent To You If You're Awake Enough
The older you get the more you realise there are constant signals being sent to you if you're awake enough to notice them. It's as if Life were sending you clues wrapped in little ripples of chance. There are messages everywhere begging you to decipher them if you'd only take notice. Books fall open at pages that bear sage advice. A coin will appear on the road at your feet tempting you to explore a side-street. A conversation with a stranger may offer you all the answers you were looking for, even though the stranger had no idea of your questions. A song will get stuck in your head. And that song leads you off on another adventure. Theo Metaxis chose to live his life according to these messages from the world around him; to be guided by fortune. And for a long while this system worked perfectly for Theo. Now he's gone missing. And his disappearance is sending ripples through the world in a way that would probably make him smile if he knew about it. Here's my character study from Veil of the Gods for today.

The Bodhisattva Maitreya, the Buddha of the future. Maitreya is believed to currently reside in Tushita Heaven and is typically depicted as having either a peaceful appearance (Bodhisattva) or Buddha appearance. Maitreya Budhha is depicted sitting on the throne in meditative posture, waiting for his time. He will reintroduce the True Dharma to the world. Maitreya is depicted in a posture symbolizing that he is ready to arise in response to the need of the world and descend to turn the wheel of Dharma, as Shakyamuni did before him. His hands are in teaching mudra at his heart.

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.
The music I created for Veil of the Gods has been a wonderful journey in itself. You know, the long term plan is to transform the graphic novel into an interactive experience and an online game. So the music is very important. The track we used on the first two promo videos wasn’t the one I’d originally planned to include. This melody came to me in a daydream while I was trying to figure out a problem with a font. I picked up the low D whistle and the melody just burst out. I hadn’t actually played that instrument for about a year so I was really surprised. It was like the flute was just aching to be played again. The whole track took only a few hours to orchestrate, record and mix. And I’m pretty happy with the result. Here’s the short version without the flute.
