Stories create reality. Those who control the narrative control the world. That's what Veil of the Gods is basically all about.
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.

Exhausted from another fourteen-hour shift, Yonani Khan sat back in her favourite armchair with a sigh. She only meant to rest her eyes for a moment, but she slipped into a deep, coma-like sleep straight away.
Yona rarely recalled her dreams. She joked, that there wasn’t anything worth remembering about them. This one, however, was different. She was walking along an inexplicably familiar hallway lit by piercing cyan. As much as it felt like home, she had no memory of the place and that startled her a little.
A large glass bubble enclosed her head and the air pumping into it was sweet. The scented freshness reminded her of the pristine mountain ranges that stand at the edge of the known world. Yona frowned.
How could that be? She’d never actually been anywhere near the southern continent. She’d never been out of the city. Her head was buzzing with questions. A little stab of anxiety fluttered her heartbeat. Somehow, she suppressed her confusion and determined to walk on without distraction. An instinct told her, that she could not afford to be late.
That first sleep-vision was the most straightforward one. After that her dreams got really, really interesting.

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.

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.
For more about the Veil of the Gods project here's our linktree.
Huge inspiration.
