Invictus the Novel
A high-fantasy novel dealing with the life of the Demon-King Abaddon. Once destroyed now returned to the world of the living and trying to regain his former glory. Unlike the traditional trope of the genre where the hero, or heroes must face a world-threatening danger, in my novel Abaddon is the treat and the story is told with him as the main character.
- Changing the scene I take my interest in anime and my interest in traditional story telling to craft a unique experience. My novel reads like a proper high-fantasy story, with the addition of that anime flare of combat. It is also written in a drama format which gives it a more natural feeling.
- DIYAll the character designs are done by me personally. I am self-taught in the art of drawing, having been doing it since I was six years old. Throughout the years my art has improved through practice alone and I take pride in being being to illustrate the characters that adorn my work, by myself. I try to be as original as possible with their design, taking only minor inspirations from other media when necessary. My forte lies in coming up with dark and evil type of character designs.
