The Dragon Myth
From Jayce’s own research, he knew that dragonlore permeated most cultures on Earth. “They had to have been here a long time ago.”
“The swarm arrived on Earth five-thousand years ago. Fed on humans, even enslaved some of the more advanced cultures,” Akilli explained.
“Wow.” Jayce shook his head. “That means that dragons did exist,” Jayce mumbled, in shock.
“Yes, in a sense. And they actually coveted gold and metals,” Quin added. “Only they didn’t sit on the treasure and sleep, like some stories say, but used it to replicate.” Quin looked slightly amused. “Maukons freaked you guys out for centuries, crept into your epigenetics. They wanted you to fear them, for eternity. Jaal, too. They made themselves look like strong ugly things with sharp teeth, pointy ears, claws.”

RUN!
Jayce and Mire have to get outta the old factory. They feel eyes on them from every shadow. Is it imagined? No, it’s real. Crazies know they’re in there. Can they make it to the auto-shaw?

Terminal Dark Graphic Novel Book Review
I thoroughly enjoyed the artwork. Felt like I was watching a blade runner type movie. I did get a little lost at times only because the artwork was very dark and I had to look at the panel again to see who it was talking. The story meandered its way from good cop to bad cops back to good cop and it wasn’t a clear at first. But after rereading I got it. Sometimes the graphic novel format though pretty is not as forthcoming as text. But it forces you to look at the artwork longer. And that I’m OK with. Read, enjoy, then read again. #graphicnovelreview #bookreview #authorblog

The Attacks Begin
In this page, the attacks begin. Random, brutal. No one knows why people are attacking. Jayce and Mire are caught in the one place they shouldn’t be.
The mayor gulped, rubbed his forehead then continued. “A curfew has been instituted for all citizens of Detroit and–static–counties. We are proactively closing streets and parks and areas of public gathering like malls, restaurants and bars and–static–ordering all citizens to return–crackle–their homes for the evening.” The feed died suddenly.

Artwork Pg 4 in Dark Swarm
Another Page from Dark Swarm. Question: Comment yes if you like to see the daily illustrations as I finish them? Or would you rather see a bunch at one time? #darkswarm #novelpreview #authorblog #drawing #art #conceptart #conceptdesign #DigitalArtist #illustration #photoshop #graphicnovel #painting #sciencefiction #illustrationoftheday https://andersonatlas.com/blog
What did it draw, you ask?
Mire reached and grabbed the drawing. “Uh Jayce. Look at this.” She handed the drawing over.
Jayce took the paper. The image shading wasn’t finished but the outlines were.
“Look around you,” Mire said.
Jayce looked up then back at the drawing. “Whoa.” Jayce’s heart skipped a beat. “The AI scanned the internet for pictures and downloaded hundreds. It was supposed to find inspiration from them. Instead, it drew this place.”
“Not just this factory. It drew the other sewing robot arms. See?” Mire pointed. “Every table is full. Bright light is coming through the windows and everything.”
“Looks like a happy place. Is this a memory?”
Mire nodded. “Shit, this was how this place used to be. The machine is lonely, Jayce.”
He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “But…” There was no other way to interpret the drawing.
“No buts. You programed the AI to come up with something on its own. This is what it drew. Do you know how amazing this is? This has never happened before. Ever. When we were researching AI, looking at what had been done, what was successful and what wasn’t, I read paper after paper. No one’s code is this sophisticated.”
