Ziggetai - Veil Of The Gods

Here's my Veil of the Gods sketch for today. Lt. Qureen Sah- Pilot, medico and all round dark horse. There's something she's not telling us.

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.

Creativity is a very refined form of magic. Indeed, Creativity is the very essence of the magical arts. The sorcerer's greatest secret is a simple one. Whatever you create from Fear will be infused with fear and bound by it. However, that which you create from Love will be infused with Love and forever bound by the force of Love. Vandar Karn is an old-school sorcerer who learned his trade making many mistakes along the way. Yet even when a magician embodies the Sorcerer's Secret he may be tempted to misuse his knowledge. And the consequences of such an action can not always be foreseen. Here's another character sketch from Veil of the Gods.
