Submit your ideas for this graphic novel's World-map (Artist for Skyrim/Fallout)
I’m Jonah Lobe (Skyrim/Fallout/Marvel Anatomy), I’m about to release my debut graphic novel, Quiet: Level One, and today I’m inviting you to help me build my World Map (which will be integral to the next few books in the series!). I've asked permission from the mods of this channel to INVITE YOU to join me tomorrow, Thursday the 20th, 1 PM EST, on Twitch or YouTube, and let’s come up with some epic landmarks, set-pieces, quests and locations for Quiet: Level Two and beyond!
(Note that this event is meant to be a brainstorming event for creative types and an opportunity to geek out together in a public space; while one of your ideas may end up on the map (with your permission, of course), I cannot guarantee that it will feature in any future storyline, nor am I able to compensate anyone for their suggestion).
Some information on the WORLD MAP: Quiet: Level One (an homage to DnD, videogames, and fantasy) takes place in the Tree of Worlds, which is like a cross between the Norse Tree of Life and Super Mario Galaxy. Every Level of the Tree of Worlds is a contained world all its own, with its own geography, flora, fauna, quests and NPCs. Level One is the Labyrinth (where book one takes place), a winding black-and-white dungeon that requires three keys to escape. Level Two is the Hunt, an arid prairieland full of animals and treasure and trials of heroism. Level Three is the Breach, a broken land of mountains and snow ruled over by a pair of crazy twins who have transformed their world into a giant board game. Level Four is the Citadel, an oppressive castle watched over by a fire-breathing Dragon. And we won’t talk about Level Five… not yet.
While the storyline for Quiet is mapped out, the geography isn’t. What sorts of quests, puzzles, treasures, boss-fights, lifeforms and landmarks can you picture living in these different levels? What are your favorite fantasy tropes, or what’s something totally original that you’d love to see featured in a book?
If a discussion like this sounds like fun, please join me tomorrow, and let’s come up with some ideas! I will write them out, I will sketch them up, and then we’ll integrate our favorites into the World Map (included in the book), which will give readers some sense of what might happen next in the series.
Thanks so much for reading. I look forward to meeting you!
Jonah
