Discover My World on IG @timeslayers

I am always creating, I just can’t help it. A long time ago (but not in a galaxy far far away!) I began to build a world in my head. I began to write this down and used it for my fantasy illustrations. What I didn’t imagine was it would become a trilogy - the Chronicles of the Charon… and more yet to come. My fantasy falls into the realms of Speculative Fiction, the kind of thing I like to read myself. So, if like me, you are disillusioned when confronted by the bookshelves in store, why not give my trilogy a chance? I’ve tried here to illustrate the DNA of my novels, so if these are the kind of things you like to read then add Timeslayers, Shadowslayers and Soulslayers to your tbr list! Let me know what you think in the comments and take a look at my website sephtonart.com for more information. So go on, give it a go. #timeslayers #speculativefiction #modernmythology #worldbuilding #fantasy Not my usual post, I’ve taken a brave pill to post this, but hey it got me! I hope it’ll get the readers too! Anyone else ever done that? Particularly you authors? And I don’t mean cried because it was bad! 🤣 Be honest and let me know in the comments! #timeslayers #empathy #empathetic #writer #lastpage What if time doesn’t move forward? We tend to think of time as a river. It flows from the past, through the present, towards the future. But that’s not the only way humanity has imagined time. Many ancient mythologies understood time as cyclical - creation, destruction and rebirth repeating endlessly. And then modern physics gave us an even stranger picture of reality. So I began asking a question: What if time isn’t something that flows at all? What if past, present and future are somehow part of a larger structure and our consciousness simply experiences them one moment at a time? That question became one of the foundations of Timeslayers, the first novel in The Chronicles of the Charon. In my mythology, time isn’t merely a backdrop for the trilogy. Time itself is part of the mystery. It connects to the ideas running through the trilogy about consciousness, reality, music and the underlying structure of the cosmos. This is where my interest in mythology, philosophy and speculative science comes together. I’ve been exploring these ideas more deeply on my website (blog) as part of my ongoing exploration of modern mythology. And I’d like to know: If you could travel through time, would you go backwards, forwards, or somewhere outside the timeline altogether? Let me know in the comments. #timeslayers #mythmaking #timetravel #mythology #modernmyth The blog on my website, sephtonart.com, covers my views on mythology, creating modern mythology, philosophy and fantasy. Take a look and let me know what you think! #timeslayers #blogpost #mythology #philosophy #modernmythology Would you choose immortality? Human beings have been fascinated by immortality for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks imagined the gods as immortal. Alchemists searched for the secret of eternal life. Religions developed ideas of an existence beyond death and modern science continues to explore whether ageing itself might eventually be altered. But there’s a philosophical problem hiding underneath all of this: If life never ended, would life still have the same meaning? Perhaps the value of a moment comes partly from knowing that we cannot keep it forever. Death is one of the subjects I explore through the mythology and metaphysics of The Chronicles of the Charon, not simply as an ending, but as a question about what it means to exist. This is where I think fantasy can do something particularly interesting. It allows us to take an abstract philosophical question and turn it into a world, a character and a story. I’m exploring more of these connections between philosophy, mythology and fantasy on my website, sephtonart.com. Would you choose immortality if it were offered to you? #timeslayers #immortality #philosophy #meaningoflife #soulawakening From a very young age I drew my favourite superheroes, Thor, Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell), the Hulk, and countless other Marvel characters. As I got older I wanted to create my own and not keep drawing other artists creations, so I invented the Charon there are previous reels showing them) - one had red spandex, another was a pirate, others were way more sexy than they should have been for my age! 😁 Then I got to creating my secret agents, Ignatius and Indigo. Because all these chrcters and worlds were fully formed in my head I was able to write a novel, Timeslayers, using that imagery. Is this something that other writers have done before? Let me know in the comments. If you want to see more, or understand the world I created follow me and checkout my website, sephtonart.com.#timeslayers #worldbuilding #myart #conceptart #conceptartist It’s taken me a while to find my tribe, but here YOU are! If you are a lover of modern science, fantasy, mythology, philosophy, metaphysics and all things unusual, then my trilogy The Chronicles of the Charon is for YOU. My novels are full of the stuff I love and believe in. They are not just a story, a plot, they subtly contain all the modern science and metaphysics I research and read about all the time. I’m not after creating a novel, or a trilogy, I’m creating a WORLD. This is becoming my Legendarium. I believe in the power of modern mythology and the idea that we should all question our existence in a philosophical way. There’s more information on my website, sephtonart.com. So if you haven’t read my trilogy yet, join me and go on, give it a go! #timeslayers #mytribe #soulawakening #modernmythology #legendarium WHAT IF THE MONSTER IS YOU? We usually think of mythology as a battle between good and evil. The hero fights the monster, the monster is defeated, the story ends. But what if there’s another way of looking at it? Perhaps the monster represents something within the hero, the part of themselves they fear, reject or don’t understand. This idea appears repeatedly in mythology and fantasy: the descent into darkness, the confrontation with the shadow, and the transformation that follows. It’s one reason I think mythology remains relevant. The monsters may change. The settings may change. The technology may change. But the human struggle remains remarkably similar. This idea becomes particularly important in Shadowslayers, the second book of The Chronicles of the Charon, where the mythology turns inward and the nature of the shadow and the self becomes central. I’m interested in the point where mythology, philosophy and psychology meet, and how fantasy can be used to explore questions that are difficult to express any other way. I’ve been exploring these ideas in more depth on my website, sephtonart.com. So here’s the question: If you could meet the “monster” inside yourself, what do you think it would represent? Let me know in the comments, and join me next week for another Myth Making Monday! #timeslayers #mythmakingmonday #jungianmythology #modernmyth #mythology
