The older you get the more you realise there are constant signals being sent to you if you're awake enough to notice them. It's as if Life were sending you clues wrapped in little ripples of chance. There are messages everywhere begging you to decipher them if you'd only take notice. Books fall open at pages that bear sage advice. A coin will appear on the road at your feet tempting you to explore a side-street. A conversation with a stranger may offer you all the answers you were looking for, even though the stranger had no idea of your questions. A song will get stuck in your head. And that song leads you off on another adventure. Theo Metaxis chose to live his life according to these messages from the world around him; to be guided by fortune. And for a long while this system worked perfectly for Theo. Now he's gone missing. And his disappearance is sending ripples through the world in a way that would probably make him smile if he knew about it. Here's my character study from Veil of the Gods for today. 

 Here's the latest sketch from Veil of the Gods Chapter Two... Mikin Thelf the Mahjee.

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.

Every Daeva cuts a different path. At the instant when the Divine Grace consumed her, Ferneetri Vas, for example, found herself imbued with an overwhelming compassion for all sentient beings. Naturally, the intensity of her Mercy burned fiercest for those who were struggling on the path, as she once had. She decided to focus her attention on individuals who were obviously challenged by their journey.

In due course, bearing Her new name Vineetri Dasi, She visited Her benevolence upon a small clique of deserving seekers who willingly called themselves Her Humble Devotees. In return for Her limitless beneficence, the Devotees of Vineetri erected a handful of shrines and temples in Her honour. They dwelled near these holy sanctuaries and lived exemplary lives of service to others. There are countless stories that praise Her divine intervention and the good works of Her followers.

And for a long while Vineetri was content to allow them to bow down to her. That is, until she encountered a lost soul who had been wandering in the darkness for more than a hundred years. Anander Fereesh changed everything.
