Playing With Animations For Veil Of The Gods…

When it rains, it pours. This is the scene from Veil of the Gods I'm working on today...

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.

You can’t always fight your demons. Sometimes it’s better to sit down with them and have a quiet chat.

 Here's the latest sketch from Veil of the Gods Chapter Two... Mikin Thelf the Mahjee.

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.

Mahjuti

Veil of the Gods features a magical system based on the ideas of Austin Osman Spare- a well-known 20th century artist and all round weirdo. He played with ancient and medieval ideas of magic especially the Norse magical tradition of Galdr. At a young age he came up with his own system based on graphics to empower his spells. He called these graphics sigils. I’ve developed his ideas much further for the storyline of Veil of the Gods. I call the symbolic designs glyphs rather than sigils and I’ve named the system of magic in Veil of the Gods- Mahjuti. Here’s one of the Hyper-Glyphs that feature in the coming chapters.
