Artist's Comments

Finally it's here!
This is my first illustration of 2007 and i'm happy to say it's related to my graphic novel UTOPIA.
Its Preview is already up for ordering at the WildeTimes site's Online Store, here: [link]
All you will have to handle is the shipping (outside of the US that is).
This particular image was made to use as a poster on several online communities where i'll advertise the novel, and i'm very happy with the outcome. I'll post the text appearing on the back cover of the novel so you can get an idea of what the story is about:

"An assassin has breached the sacred Sanctum in the 113th level of the Tower, aiming for Her Majesty, the Empress of the Moon. Will the Imperial Guardians be able to defend her against this formidable adversary?
UTOPIA takes place in an imaginary elseworld where the sun's rays are inimical to life and even the air is poisonous. In the middle of the vast desert wasteland stands a colossal Tower of one hundred thirteen levels. It is the last bastion of life amidst the desolation. Stories and legends abound of the mysterious Creator who built the tower and brought its inhabitants to life. Each level is a different world in itself; different rules, governors, and inhabitants. Countless creatures inhabit the Tower, all ruled by the Empress of the Moon. UTOPIA tells her story, and that of Sevenn, her Imperial Guardian, protector and lover.
In this Preview of his upcoming graphic novel, author Nicolas R. Giacondino introduces us to his vibrant world and sets in motion a chain of events that will change the lives of the Tower's inhabitants forever..."

Remember to leave your feedback and check out the other images i have in my Gallery realting to this world i've created.

Until soon!

The whole of the Moon by *Aerion-the-Faithful "He has a very special style that just screams at you from the screen. With grayscale and a single colour he conveys the most subtle of feelings as well as the obvious" (Suggested by ~1mpact and Featured by `misskittyoooo)

Another great piece, Aerion.

To me, this picture sends off a feeling of imminent departure, as though the Empress and Sevenn are about to leave to go somewhere. To where, I have no idea, but it is somewhere. I think I get that impression from the garb the Empress is wearing. It seems like a royal traveling outfit to me.

After reading the blurb, I still hold that opinion, but it seems that they were about to be attacked as they were heading off somewhere.

Thank you, mate. You're really sensitive as to what theimages produce within you and don't think i don't love that! I wish everyone had such a keen eye and mind like you because indeed this scene depicts the Empress and the Guardian about to embark on the adventure that will take place in the novel (hence the tagline 'The walk through the Tower begins').

Thank you enormously again!

D'awww, I went to that website and saw those 4 page prieviews.
And already we start the story off with those two butt-nekkid in bed, man Aerion, you really don't wait for romantic development, we're waaaaay past that XD :giggle:
I'm just teasing, it is very intriguing, maybe squishing in one last Birthday present and purchasing that book may not be a bad idea :love:
Is it just a one-shot or is it going to be in issues?

Romantic development? What's that? :giggle:
Seriously, though, there's a lot of that in the actual novel, but further down the pages. The Empress and The Guardian have had a bit of coming and going before ending upon silken sheets that's for sure...
The graphic novel is indeed a ONE-SHOT; hopefully, if it sells well, there will be sequels ;). And as for you stretching your birthday present, well, you can order the 'UTOPIA: Preview' now for FREE at the WildeTimes site! So, no need for cashing just yet (not until October that is, when the actual novel comes out)...

Thanks again, milady and see you soon :smooch:

Well I sure hope so *rolls eyes* :giggle:

Hmmm...then again, I might as well wait for the whole novel *scratches imaginary beard*

Awww X3
