GODHUNTERS | Chapter 1: The Invocation
Godhunters: A Dark Fantasy Epic
Elite warriors hunt rebel gods to save their empire, only to become the very monsters they were meant to stop.
A powerful mortal empire enters a divine war to capture and kill rebel gods; drinking their blood for power and unraveling the world. What begins as a holy crusade collapses into tyranny, madness, and betrayal, as an empire consumed by greed and corruption destroys itself from within.
WATCH THE MAKING OF THIS CHAPTER:
Godhunters, is the first in a trilogy of original, illustrated dark fantasy novels by award-winning artist and writer Tyler Miles Lockett. It combines the dark fairytale aesthetics of Guillermo Del Toro, political intrigue of somethinglike "the fall of the Roman Empire," and fallen character archetypes of Greek tragedy. Its part Swashbuckling adventure, part existential horror.
I'm bringing this saga to life as a lavishly illustrated series, with full-page artwork, mythic worldbuilding, and a story that feels at once ancient and hauntingly prescient. I've already completed an detailed outline, so I'm ready to move into the rough draft of text and art over the next year. If you'd like to see this story and art come to life, please join my Patreon for weekly work in progress sketches and early manuscript chapters, and get access to my private Discord community (to offer me feedback on art, characters, and story content).
