If everything about you changes over time, for example, your body, your memories, even your beliefs, what makes YOU you? If your body changes, your memories fade, and your beliefs evolve throughout your life… what is it that remains? For thousands of years, philosophers have wrestled with this question. Is there an unchanging self, or are we constantly becoming someone new? It’s a question I think is just as relevant today as it was in ancient times. Through my trilogy, Indigo has to face up to finding out if she is who she thinks she is! So, what do you think makes YOU… you? I’d love to read your thoughts in the comments. #timeslayers #philosophicalfriday #consciousness #meaningoflife #souljourney I have shown how I turned a sketch created in the ‘80s into digital art to finalise some concept art for Adonai, one of the characters in my fantasy, Timeslayers. I have tried lots of digital software over the years, and some of my concept art is really experiments using the software. I usually use Artweaver or Procreate nowadays. I sometimes scan sketches in to paint over, and sometimes I go straight in to the software to create the idea in my head. The secret is using lots of layers! And if you are trying something new, and might mess it up, copy the layer first, so you can retain the original! I’ll show you more of my art if you join me next week for World-building Wednesday! #timeslayers #fantasyart #worldbuildingwednesday #digitalart #conceptart Why do myths matter? Should fantasy authors be trying to create a Modern Myth? Great myths don’t survive because they’re old. They survive because every generation finds itself within them. I believe fantasy is still one of the best ways to explore the biggest questions of human existence. What myth has stayed with you the longest? Let me know in the comments and joint me next week for another Myth Making Monday! #timeslayers #mythology #modernmyth #mythmaking #fantasyauthor Most  of us grow up believing that consciousness comes from the brain. But what if we’ve got it backwards? What if consciousness came first and the physical universe emerged from it? Whether consciousness came before matter is an unresolved question with two main views: mainstream science says matter came first as a product of brain evolution, while idealists and some theorists argue consciousness is fundamental and creates physical reality. The origin of life may have been prompted and driven by conscious feelings right from the start and life became the vehicle for consciousness. #timeslayers #philosophicalfriday #philosophy #metaphysics #conciousnessshift Dune is a massive sci-fi story about power and destiny. It follows young Paul Atreides as his noble family moves to the harsh desert planet Arrakis, which is the universe’s only source of a life-extending substance called “spice”. Betrayed by rivals and the Emperor, Paul rises among the native desert people to fulfill a massive prophecy. Dune is fundamentally a cautionary tale about the dangers of charismatic leaders and messianic figures. Author Frank Herbert explicitly stated that he designed the story to show that charismatic leaders should come with a warning label because they encourage people to surrender their critical thinking. #timeslayers #dune #frankherbert #dunemessiah #modernmyth Shadowslayers, from the Chronicles of The Charon is a rich blend of steampunk adventure, cosmic mythology, metaphysics, and mysticism. Duality and Balance: Ignatius, the rational engineer and spiritual seeker, balances Indigo, the emotional, intuitive, and deeply wounded warrior. They embody yin and yang, or perhaps Purusha and Prakriti (spirit and nature). Either way, Shadowslayers is a fast moving, action packed adventure. Shadowslayers is a metaphysical science-fantasy journey that weaves together: Go on, give it a go! Shadowslayers, book 2 of The Chronicles of the Charon. #timeslayers #cosmicadventure #soulawakening #souljourney #doppelganger I made a playlist for my fantasy, Timeslayers.
