Below are walkthroughs of how some of the images on this site are created. When AI image creation dropped, I was somewhat late to the game. Experimentation of using multiple ai programs, and having more of an evolutionary approach rather than a "one-and-done" text prompt method seems most appropriate, and can also help with further editing and revising these pieces to be more in line with one another. Some of the ships, and some of the buildings, are based off my own designs

This 'x' is equally the newest, yet oldest piece of lore. This symbol began as simple sketches of mirrored geometric designs, which appeared with random inspiration. They went on to fill two pages. I was asked by a classmate if they were butterflies, but I did not have an answer to provide. These sketches were pieces of concept art for the start of the first book, but they lacked a distinct meaning (other than art style).Later versions of this symbol began to take form in lat

⠗⠽⠵⠁⠉⠅⠊⠁⠝ AI generation is not perfect. However, it does occasionally hit the nail on the head. The animation videos I have been able to make from a figure template perfectly capture how I see the Ryzackian alien in my head. Everything from the movement to the form and tone is captured. Ascent

My youtube channel consists of short lore drops, but if anything comes in long form, I really like this other version. It has elements of the existing logo spinning animation on the website. This is the banner for social media platforms. A different version of the animation at the top of the web page on the site, all rooted in my original logo design.

Here is another collection of drawings from the past. While most feature the well known Ryzackian, the first ship idea, the Jinnu, also appears in sketches and background outlines. It always had four distinctive pronged engine/ body protrusions and a sloping body. One photo also shows one of the cities on the ground, with inspiration that carried over to current lore of making elements hidden below ground. Most structures I made were in map editors in video games like Halo an

First of its kind has been deployed into a lone kitchen.

Here is the demo of the hardcover edition of Predeceased Ascension. Exterior differences: -title and back description reflect the scope of an entry in a series rather than just book one. -holographic skull cover -diunix spine Interior differences will include: -a symbol art piece on the rights reserved page -replacing the skulls -updated author photo - opting for a world map -updated faction lore from the website rather than the current writing system Stay tuned for more .

Inspired with the Diunix logo, the first bookmark design has been created.

I have converted much of the lore into short video forms on Youtube and Tiktok. Be sure to follow me there and on the other mainstream platforms. I will continue to stitch these together. Refer to the landing page of this website for the social media branches. #predeceasedascension

I have been creating cards as promos for both this website and for book one Predeceased Ascension. They are surfacing in Golden. Look for them in tiny libraries or directly from me. If you want a copy of my book, it is up on Amazon at this very moment. Please let me know what you think. Link: https://a.co/d/f8w2Hxi

Below, on the first row, is the evolution of the Diunix logo. it has become the series icon. The second row showcases some other designs of Ryzackian helmets, as well as a Vezantu. Enjoy!

The outline for book two has been written. With it, a document of lore is being added to. Book one: Predeceased Ascension Book two: Retracing Desecration

The color theme of white on black stems from old artwork and an overall stylistic choice. The red and white color choice comes into focus with the main character Nĭtro, and would later influence the branch off of different factions in the book. But with the inception of that character, I did not have the varying eye colors in mind as a lore to the depth as it later gained with the 65,000 word modification. Albino animals were always cute to me when I was young, and a few of

Another post of artwork from clear back in high school art classes (around 2013-2015). Before the draft of Predeceased Ascension began, it started as a short story. These pieces came during the writing of said story, as well as into development of the early drafts of the book in its 150,000 word form. Some of the white/ black inverted art were intended to act as chapter markers before the symbols worked their way into the 65,000 word iteration. This style simply turned into t

When I first came up with the idea for this dystopian series, way back in middle school, I had the line "We are a flawed experiment sent to die." This eventually progressed to the tagline of the series. It stands the test of time. It has its ring. But the aimed moral aka takeaway of series is simply: "Divided we fall. Don't let it happen." I plan on making these dystopian stories cautionary tales when looked at from a larger scale. They may go into heavy subject manners, or

The world of Nykearo is unexplored in book one: Predeceased Ascension due to the settings being closed off environments (one being a city partly submerged in a crater, and the other levitating in the skyline). However, there are mentions of this larger place in flashbacks and recollections. In book two: Retracing Desecration , that will all change. The earliest recollection of what this place was going to look like when I was young, was some sort of machine planet. But the m

The Ryzackians are not werewolves: rather bipedal, hairless, humanoid fruit bats crossed with lemurs (aye aye hands) six fingers: four main and two thumbs. Six toes: four in front and two in back. Occasionally modified with artificial quills on wrists and shoulders. They do not howl in the sense that we typically see canines doing. I imagined these creatures, in the realm of film, to be portrayed as silent. As you are reading the novels, you are literally reading data driven

This is a post of concept ai images of some of the locations and parts of The Belligerent Existence Chronicles world. Due to the conflicting visual style, I am placing them here. Left to right: Drone, Armĭv, Jĭnnu , Ryzackian, Hemerātix, Nykearo surface, Diunix, and Paradigm/The Great Surveyor.
