Jesus I should be more consistent with this thing. Anywho, thought I'd post some of my own project works here. I may have mentioned this project in previous posts, in fact I'm certain I did. Its a fantasy world that platued during the Edwardian era, roughly WW1 ish.
Having some fun doing some propaganda posters. The primary conflict is Humans vs Vampires, which is made up of Necromancers, Werewolves, Zombies and Vamps. Kind of like If Dracula (as in Bram Stokers book version) had decided to raise up a mighty army and wage war on England instead of going over there with nothing but a box of dirt.
So Along with with the Vampires, Werewolves and other nasties, the humans have a variety of typical fantasy cliche's at their disposal. Most notably, Wizards. Wizards are a tricky business, I was quite fond of Trudi Canavan's magicians guild series but was always terribly dissapointed with their unbalanced nature in regards to non-magic casting people in the world. The final battle where (spoilers) 4-5 Wizards from the foriegn lands come and basically wage war with an entire country was just absurd. There has to be some level of balance. For me, Magic is the eqquivalant of Science. Religion holds the reigns of mysticism and the unexplained, magic is what these people use to understand the universe. To the point that, they may even be more advanced than we are. I picture Wizards as beeing as far ranging in their abilities as Physicists. There are some who push the boundarys of what we imagine possible for the laws of our universe and others who can understand, but cannot advance. Imagine if Steven Hawking could not only understand the forces that govern our universe, but also physically see them and with enough understanding, manipulate them to his will. What a baddass he would be.
