I am very excited to accounce this new venture with a good friend of mine over at 20TWO Studio. We've known each other a long time, after meeting through online gaming. He's a fantastic graphic designer and we have a lot in common, so we finally decided to join our creative powers and make...something. We wanted to explore things that interest us both: Norse mythology, cyberpunk, urban decay, folklore horror, the grim, the dark and the brutal.
We settled on a kind of visual storytelling experience. His art, my words, world-building together until we've got a series of images from which a viewer can derive a mood, a meaning, a setting, a story. I've dubbed it "Project Sköll" and I can't wait to share it with you all.
First we'll be focusing on the dieties of this broken world, so part one has been aptly titled "The Old Gods".
For now, I leave you with this blurb:
"The Gods raised us up and gave us light. But now the Gods are dead.
Amongst the desolate wildlands, the Free Cities still glow. But for how long?
While the Free Jarls cling to power, desperate raiders scavenge fallen settlements, lost temples and even the bodies of dead Gods and monsters for anything that will save them from the coming darkness.
Old monsters have reclaimed much of the wildlands. Trolls stalk human prey from their caves. Völva conduct profane rituals to ensure their own survival. Radioactive ghosts stalk broken cities.
And every day Sköll inches closer to devouring the sun."
And a few early images:
