This is the exact feeling I had while reading the press release for Ancient Dreams: The Hand of Fate by JP Roth. I get the feeling this book will make a big splash in the comic world.
In Ancient Dreams: The Hand of Fate I created a lushly illustrated universe where the creatures of myth, such as warlocks, vampires, witches and gods, are rendered in a steam punk style that blends ancient legends with futuristic innovations,” says JP Roth.
Now, in a very large nutshell that sounds like it has a lot of potential. Specifically, the story will deal with a young writer named Cara Wynter who is trying to solve the mysteries of her nightmares and her past. She gets teleported to ancient Sparta where she encounters a world of gods, priestesses, and grand scale cosmic magic.
I really like the style of art that Roth is going for with this series. It has the right amount of dark grime on it that it fits into the mythos she’s creating but it has a lot of beautiful textures and designs for all of the characters.
Not only are we going to be getting a really awesome looking and mind bending story but we’re going to be getting a mobile game of Ancient Dreams as well!
You can check out concept art and sneak peeks of the graphic novel at the official site.
