I was an ancient navigator. My mission was to collect data from the universe and pass it on into the vibrations of existence
stars, planets, moons, meteors where there it would be embedded for the millions of years it would take until its presence
reached an entity worthy enough to be susceptible to its slight, but powerful influence.
What I did, I did out of reason, reason for understanding.

What I learned, I learned in order to be a pollinator of evolution.

A lot of the images were created very fast since there are 26 illustrations one for every chapter in the book.

This is the second Endsheet in the book. A very massive Zbrush undertaking , making good use of custom insert brushes.

Most of these are all images that go with various stories in the Dark Verse Books. The stories are written by my friend Matt Hahn , who goes by the pen name Shark Child.
