Glyph 999 is one of the most potent tools a Mahjuti practitioner can acquire. In essence a Glyph is a hack into the metaphorical operating system of the Reality Mesh. The technology behind the creation and use of glyphs is too extensive to explain here. In simple terms, however, it requires that the Mahjee who constructs or wields the glyph must be meticulous in its creation. The slightest error can generate unintended ripples of cause and effect that may return to the Mahjee in unexpected and sometimes disastrous ways.

So, for some months now I've been keeping my work under wraps while I’ve been minting NFTs or Nifties, as I prefer to call them. Thanks to the NFT explosion I've been called to explore some exciting new mediums.
If you don't know what a Nifty is, don't worry I'll post a full explanation of this concept later. Let's just say for now that they fit perfectly with the story of Veil of the Gods.
My latest obsession ties in beautifully with NFTs. It is Mocap, or motion capture technology. It's quite a simple process really if you have an iPhone with a true depth camera. Android and the others just can't do this sort of work.
First, I sculpt a character in a 3D modelling programme. Then I take a reference video of my own face as I speak the character's lines. I drop the animation files over the top of the 3D sculpture, render frame by frame, then tidy up the files in photoshop.
After that my partner adds the vocals we've recorded via Final Cut Pro, while I start preparing the next animation. I suppose the tricky bit is digital sculpting, lighting and camera work within the 3D environment. That's taken me years to learn.
Anyway, here's one of the sketches for a character. Stay tuned. He'll be speaking in the next few days. And you might be surprised at how life-like he looks when animated.
Oh, and he’s available now as a rare NFT collectible on Hic Et Nunc https://hicetnunc.art/objkt/568738
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.
