Another Mahjuti Glyph from Veil of the Gods.
Veil of the Gods is just about the most challenging project I've ever been presented with. Lucky I love a good challenge. ;) For the first time ever my deadline has passed and I'm not yet finished- though I'm very, very close. I never liked to word deadline anyway. I've been relaxed about getting behind schedule because I just had a feeling everything was happening in it's proper time. It's turned out I was right to be relaxed. In the last 10 months since I've been working full time on this graphic novel, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds and I've been blessed to be in a position to keep up with the latest developments. It's now possible to create a larger file across a few different publishing formats. So we've decided to make some massive changes to the layout of Veil of the Gods. Thank you to all our supporters for your patience. I'm sure this is going to be a beautiful piece of work. The first chapter has been extended from 30 pages to nearly a hundred, rounding off the first part of the story very nicely while introducing some of the main characters and leaving a little mystery to start the next chapter. Creativity is such a mystery. It all happens in it's own time...

So, here's the first card of the Ziggetai Oracle deck. This is Mahjeena Jahrool. Still lots of digital touch ups to do and the insert of titles, but I think she's looking good. This is just a teaser. I hope you consider yourself teased.
The Oracle Deck will take the form of an app that draws a card and reveals it's meaning for the reader. Each card is a character or location from my upcoming graphic novel, "Veil of the Gods".
The deck will only be available as an NFT and the number of NFTs will be limited.
There will be three tiers of ownership, bronze, silver and gold, each with their own specific utilities attached. And there'll be music in the background.
We're so fortunate to have such a dedicated Dev team creating the app and our minting Dapp. Much gratitude...
The countdown to mint has begun.
Before this year is out we'll be minting two graphic novels; the first chapter of Veil of the Gods and, before that, The Book of Mahjuti.

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.
