Shalantam is already almost literally an “neverending journey” of a variety of people in various unthinkable corners of the universe.
I started writing it in 2018, and many times it has undergone changes and improvements, and in 2022, after a bunch of edits, I finally intend to finish the third.
The first part begins with an unspoken quarrel between two friends, and the disappearance of one of them. Artemya returns without the previous grievances against his girlfriend, but who would have known that even after that their life would not be the same, and what they only dreamed about turns out to be true?
The second part explains the understatement of the first, and the third - the second. Although every time everything acquires new complexities and details, almost everyone is drawn into this cycle.
There is most likely no sacred meaning in my work, and it is not for everyone
A very interesting experiment that got out of hand.
A very interesting experiment that got out of hand.
But as the universe expanded, the topics of friendship, family, love, gray morality, beauty, the search for the meaning of life, and so on, began to be touched upon, and for different characters at different stages of their maturation (internal).
Shalantam is about the impossible, about freedom, about the endless path, the search for oneself.
The main theme of Shalantam is reincarnation...
Tahabala, Asaji, Khaali and Ma (alpaca, Khaali's mother, who was bewitched into the animal to save her daughter)
Inspired by Aion (MMO RPG)
With little Easter Egg ^ - ^
Khaali, the first sketch
Khaali, original character from my original story
Khaali's stuff
Black pig from village Venessa, Elfeit
Ajhym, strong warrior and tribal leader. Looks like orc, but in my universe this race called as "chjondar"
Kamadhu, general evil in my own universe. Almost is walking dead man with a mind, exuding stench and fumes
Ru and Khaali, Allila
Changes are quite possible, I have not decided in what style it is better to draw a map
When creating it, I was guided by an approximate image of Newpangea (our Earth after several million, or even billions of years later, if it is not swallowed up by the sun), and made a few changes from myself.
In addition, Amaranth has four levels of land due to flying islands and a unsual atmosphere, outwardly at the very top resembling the notorious space with red and yellow tints from the local sun, but you can easily be there without a space suit.
I made this version of the map in the old style.
I used my own brushes of firs, trees, and mountains, but they are not very good, I will try to do better.
There are also emblems of some countries:
Elfeit, Coast Tiam, Tahabala (desert), Delfriad (5 Kingdoms Union) and Allila
Asaji and Khaali in one of episodes, Klimt style
Four of five mercenaries of Kamadhu lead the kidnapped Khaali through the Venessa
