Playing with animations for Veil of the Gods…

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.

Next step is lettering...

Okay. I know. I'm supposed to be resting. But there's nothing like a terminal diagnosis for inspiring me to get as much created as possible before I go.

This pair are two characters from Veil of the Gods. He is Namkia Nam and she is Zagger Shkeet. They're also our avatars, sculpted in 3D and ready to drop into whatever Metaverse will have them.

I'm having a lot of fun sculpting avatars.

So, I've been working on some animations today for Veil of the Gods. The idea is that the graphic novel will be available as a motion graphic book for iPad and Kindle reader. So these short animations will eventually be incorporated into the story. Yes, I'll still do static e-book versions and print versions but this is the direction I really want to be headed in.
