Threngal Yet, the Beramentar of Fesh. Some would say Threngal is merely a monster hunter who kills for a living. They'd be wrong.
A Beramentar is not a killer. Threngal Yet collects no bounties. He collects monsters.
Latest Character sketch for Veil of the Gods.
The Japanese woodblock artist Hiroshi Yoshida ( 1876-1950 ) has been a huge influence on my approach to creating the graphic novel- Veil of the Gods. When I was researching the origins of graphic stories I found myself inevitably drawn to Japan where the art of graphic storytelling has been perfected over many hundreds of years. I’ve never seen one of Yoshida’s prints in the flesh, so to speak. I’ve only ever looked at them in books or online. I’d love to drink in the colours up close… Here’s a few of my favourite pieces by this master.
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.

Theo Metaxis, a.k.a. the Metamahjee, is a philosopher, traveller and supremely experienced practitioner of the arcane science of Mahjuti. He was once a loyal servant of the Emperor of Purush but after a falling out Metaxis was declared an outlaw, a heretic and apostate. The powerful Religious Sect known as the White Jattamansi have placed a price on his head, but Theo always has a trick or two in store for their hired assassins.
