Description And it's finally HEEEERRRREEEEEE! Behold and praise... the main cover art of "Time & Again"! My greatest art endeavour so far! (but really... it is. I am telling you it is)

"Time & Again" is my first-ever graphic novel, I've been working on it since 2020. And though it might be the first one, it sure became quite significant to me. Like I already wrote about it on my Facebook Art page, “this story is a sort of an art manifest, a self-challenge, a thoughtful message that I want to deliver to the readers through the graphic novel medium.”
The premises “in a nutshell”: a few years pass after a certain incident, and Lothar, a contract killer, reunites with a person who is special for him, and now the new horizons (and possibly obstacles) await the couple. Are they really destined to be together in this reality? Or will the dreadful event of the past repeat itself yet again, no matter the timeline and Lothar’s effort?.. 

And here goes an important note. It’s a graphic novel with a twist.  I consider it somewhat experimental, and by that I don’t mean just the oddities of narration (there are gaps between the chapters, and at some point the story will not be linear anymore), but also fluctuations of the style I allow in it: each chapter is different – to greater or smaller extent - in the visuals, emotions, and the message.
Do not let my art style deceive you (because it sure might): despite the colourful cartoony artworks, it focuses on a variety of serious and important problems and questions that most of us humans face during their lifetime: loss of the beloved ones, self-doubt and sense of guilt, mental disorders and depression, what it means to be a human being, and the worth of a person in the world – those are among the questions it explores. Psychology, action, horror, romance, comedy, supernatural, and surreal are all mixed together in it. And guess what else is an essential part of it?.. Right: a great amount of references (my favourite thing, just as you remember it thanks to my older artworks here, on DeviantArt) - mostly videogame references, but also music stuffs and certain number of other kind of references. You're welcome.

And yet one more surprising thing: you don’t have to read the chapters in order!  This crazy graphic novel is episodic, yet continuous. Each chapter is written in such a way that it represents a complete bite-size story with its own style and even a dominating genre definition. Feel free to choose the one (or two, or three) you like best! However, there is indeed a story progression, and you will probably get extra satisfaction from reading the entire thing, looking for clues and interconnections between various chapters and single utterances of the characters across those chapters.

So yep. Here it is. And I will upload the first chapters to my gallery here very soon.

This is will be an ongoing project for me for the next few years, and I plan to release the chapters as soon as they are ready. You can also track down the progress with it on my Facebook Art page and other social accounts, of course, so don’t hesitate to subscribe!
