Hello again, Zatswan fans! I have recently finished what I’m planning on being the cover to the next graphic novel installment in the Zatswan series, Zatswan: Stardust Embrace. Click the image above to get a better view. This piece is called Where the Stars Remember Us, and features a heroic shot of Zatswan and Allecka Xona in a mysterious environment standing against a dramatic sky. What’s more is this picture unveils a new design for Allecka, and it may be my favorite yet. You’ll definitely be seeing much more of it.
I’ve been on my Youtube Channel drawing and coloring this piece in real time and have gotten a lot of positive feedback in the comments section, which definitely gives me confidence in using it as the next book cover. I figured people may want to see the finished picture properly scanned, so here it is! This image does a good job of conveying the dreamy, mythic, romantic, and adventurous aspects of Zatswan that readers have come to love.
If this looks interesting to you, be sure to hop over to Amazon to pick up Zatswan: Multiversal Guardian for only $2.99 for the digital ebook, or get the print version if you prefer physical books. And don’t forget to leave reviews on the Amazon page! See you soon!
Hey, Zatswan fans! I wanted to give you an update on what’s going on regarding Zatswan. I continue to build content on the Youtube channel. I recently did a Zatswan read along in which I gave commentary on Multiversal Guardian while reading the first chapter. Take a look!
Don’t think that just because I am working on the Youtube channel that I’m not creating new Zatswan comics. That coudn’t be further from the truth. I’ve feverishly been completing pages for Zatswan: Stardust Embrace, which has been a blast. It won’t be long until you’re able to read a decent amount of it. This is what I currently have in front of me on my desk.
I can’t wait to show you more. Keep an eye on this space for updates!
I’ve created a new cover for Zatswan: Multiversal Guardian! Click the image to view it full size.
The previous book cover used the cover art from Chapter 1. I love that piece, but Zatswan and Allecka Xona are relatively small in the frame, which doesn’t read well as an Amazon thumbnail. The new cover puts the two leads front and center while keeping the multiversal vibe with a portal swirl and star-speckled universes.
It already seems to be working! Here’s a recent reader review saying the cover is what drew them in.
“The psychedelic cover and strange title piqued my curiosity for this graphic novel which didn’t disappoint. This turned out to be like an underground comic that you might discover in the nineties from friends who knew the cult stuff flying under the radar, such as Cerebus or American Splendor. Most of the charm here is that you feel it is a labor of love, and the psychedelic drawings done in vivid primary colors won me over. The world building is just as wild as the art, even though some of its intricacies remain a mystery to me. There is a parallel with the superhero zeitgeist of modern times, but with no overtly commercial drive, it is sort of fever dream at the same time. Basically, I found all this personal vision to be very enjoyable and entertaining.”
If you haven’t already, swing by Amazon and pick up Zatswan: Multiversal GuardianHERE, and please leave a review. I love hearing what you guys think and I appreciate the feedback. From what I’m hearing, readers seem to feel Multiversal Guardian is a really weird book, and not in a bad way. That is interesting, because I didn’t necessarily set out to make it that way. I’m planning on commenting on that point on my Youtube channel soon.
Speaking of the channel, I’ve been quite busy with Zatswan videos. Indeed, below is a video detailing the creation of the cover above while discussing the romance between Zatswan and Princess Allecka. Check it out and subscribe to the channel HERE. There is a lot more content coming soon!
Hi, Zatswan fans! I’m thrilled to share my latest art piece, “Dusk Whispers Across the Multiverse,” a moment of quiet reprieve for A.C. Cooper and Allecka Xona as they pause to reflect beneath a cosmic sunset. Bathed in warm, otherworldly hues, this scene captures both the vastness of their journey and the intimate bond they share, which you will see further develop in Book 2, Zatswan: Stardust Embrace. You’ll find this piece featured in the upcoming volume—likely gracing the back cover or the title page.
I had a blast putting this together with soft pastels—using sticks, pans, and pencils. It’s amazing how many looks you can get from just one medium! I hope you love the end result as much as I enjoyed making it. Keep an eye out for my upcoming video, where I’ll walk you through each step of the process, from laying down the first strokes to adding those final highlights.
Let your eyes wander across the glowing skies and drifting stardust, and you’ll feel the gentle hush of twilight calling their hearts—and yours—toward the unknown. Click the image above to experience this evocative new work in full resolution and discover how the soft light of dusk can speak volumes across worlds…
My goodness, Zatswan fans—so much has happened since I last checked in! I know it’s been a while (my fault), but I’ve been busy with some amazing Zatswan-related projects. The biggest announcement is that Zatswan is now available for purchase on Amazon! You can get a paperback version or an eBook—yes, if you’ve been following Zatswan for a while, now’s your chance to hold a printed copy in your hands. This is incredibly exciting and a huge accomplishment for me.
I’d love your help: if you could hop over to Amazon, purchase a copy, and leave a review, it would mean the world.
Even if you’ve already read the story, re-reading it or simply picking up a copy as a show of support would be fantastic. There have already been some great reviews from readers—here are a few that really caught my attention.
“Zatswan is great it hits home all the classic space opera sci-fi iconography you expect while remaining unique to itself, with very relatable characters, beautiful animation and an easy to follow story. I’m sure there are many students out there who will connect with the main character A.C Cooper being a debt riddled student looking for more meaning in life. I know this because I have also had this experience before during the brief time I spent in university as a kid. Many moments of tension in the story but laughs as well, Expulzar is also a really classic bad guy archetype. I’m honestly looking forward to more parts in this series – want a great new sci-fi comic to get into? Look no further!“
“Didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did. The artwork pops and the story is fast-paced with real emotional beats. A.C. Cooper is a refreshingly different kind of hero, and the multiverse setting feels massive without being confusing. Some of the name spellings threw me off, but overall, this was a cool, high-energy ride with heart and charm“
Speaking of reviews, I mentioned one in a recent YouTube video that I think you’ll enjoy.
Now that Multiversal Guardian is out, I’m focusing on promotion and marketing and have ramped up my YouTube activity. There’s some fantastic conversation happening over there, so please stop by the channel and check it out. In fact, the official trailer for Zatswan: Multiversal Guardian is live—please leave comments, likes, and subscribe if you haven’t already. Your support is key as we push full gear to get Zatswan moving!
And don’t worry—just because Multiversal Guardian is here doesn’t mean Book 2 of the series has been forgotten. In fact, it’s evolved from its working title, Zatswan: Stardust Romantique, into its official title, Zatswan: Stardust Embrace. Let me know which title you prefer in the comments below!
As I ramp up activity here on Zatswan.com—the heart of the Zatswan multiverse—stay tuned for more exciting updates. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for your continued support!
