Wormworld – an exceptional new fantasy saga

Being an indie artist is tough, especially when combining a new fantasy saga with detailed illustration to create a graphic novel. While researching the background for my recent review of the indie science fiction graphic novel Genecy, I encountered Daniel Lieske's Wormworld saga … and fell entirely down the rabbit hole.

I'm not going to spoil the story by reviewing it here … I'd recommend you visit wormworldsaga.com and let it speak for itself.

The art reminds me of the Brothers Hildebrandt's early fantasy art, but done with a dazzling control of light, a refreshing sense of wonderment and a special magic that reveals the power of the digital display.

Five cheers to Daniel Lieske! He's been very brave to completely embrace the concept of FREE ONLINE distribution (follow the links, you'll get the story) and he is relying on the kindness of the human spirit to fund his project via fan donations on his website via Paypal (or pricey signed prints). For the next 13 days he's trying to raise funds to make the App, in the hope that will fund his dream of creating full-time. If anyone deserves a break, it's this guy and his young hero, Jonas. Go on, see the story on his website, pledge something and make this fantasy come alive!
