Another still grab from my book: http://thornsofimmortality.com
Even though the book is pretty much finished (missing some tweaks here and there), only now do i start picturing details of the world I wrote about. Painting pictures with words was never my intention, so I don't feel particularly guilty of hypocrisy (you know, writing about the stuff before it even shapes in your own head), but what I find fascinating is how images inspire clearer interpretations. For instance, only AFTER I started making drawings certain physical characteristics of the future world started materializing. The book takes place in two futures - that of around 150 years from now and further one, around 350 years later. The future set 500 years away is devoid of objects, with spaces mostly only defined by light. But the more immediate future is in a transition period towards that physical indefinably. It's made up of temporary inflatable objects, like the outpost in the image below.
- I still think you are incredibly talented as a visual storyteller, but that your writing is not at the same level. Please PLEASE work with a host of editors.monospaced
- And please publish with the illustrations as part of the book, not as just supplements. They really are your vision.monospaced
- Curious ... is your plot expecting the reader to accept that God is real for this to work?monospaced
- The "God" is used as a concept to give concreteness to the structures outside of ourselves. Without "It", the speculations wouldn't hold the same weight.pr2
- And thanks for the feedback! My "pretty much finished" indeed means it's ready for a serious editor.pr2
