Regret

A digital pen & ink drawing showing a sleeping man connected to abstract machinery, and behind him a long spiral spaceship stretching into the distance, surrounded by nautiluses. Above the ship, there's a woman drawn in the same pose as Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, with a strand of DNA behind her. The far background is an image of a galaxy.

This is my favourite illustration from Aegeon 5, for a far-future science fiction short story called ‘Regret’. If you agree, why don’t you take a peek at the appropriate shop page.

‘Vjarn and the Sword of Ghebli’ is a fantasy story reminiscent of the first epics and legends of antiquity. The demi-god character Vjarn is given the task to steal a mythical sword guarded by an immensely powerful frog-like water elemental, who rules over his own artificial ocean the size of a solar system. No single-sentence description will do this story justice, you’ll just have to read it in Aegeon 5.

Atlantica: The Tuna Trade

In this installment of the ongoing Atlantica series, our intrepid hero loses his precious megatuna herd, and exacts bloody revenge on the culprits. This original version of the image is slightly different from the one printed in the book, as that one was altered to accommodate the story title. Prints can be had in the shop.
