Creating each page of MEGALITH is a painstaking process with hours upon hours of work going into each page to make every inch a rich sensory experience. Conceiving a whole world with just a pencil, pen or brush is no easy feat. The crafting of an epic like this takes years to complete and a lifetime of skill to prepare for. All with the end goal of drawing in you, the reader, and leaving you awestruck with the sight of a vast unexplored universe you've never before imagined.
