Graphic Designer & Website Admin

Welcome to the Creative World of A Manticore Calls

Step into the immersive realm of Krista Heiser’s novel, where rich visuals and dynamic animations bring the story’s world to life. In this section, I’m showcasing the graphic design and web development work I’ve created for the novel, including the detailed world map, country-specific visuals, and animations. Each country will eventually have its own visual identity, starting with Romlisle, and I’ll continue adding more designs and interactive features as the project unfolds. Explore the evolving world and the magic behind its creation.

The World Map - A Visual Gateway to The Realm

The world map I’m designing for A Manticore Calls serves as a visual gateway to the intricate and vast landscape of the novel. This map will provide readers with a clear view of the different regions and countries that shape the story. Each country is being carefully crafted with unique visuals that reflect its environment, culture, and significance within the narrative. The map is still a work in progress, but it will ultimately be a key element on the website, offering an immersive glimpse into the world of the novel and helping to set the stage for the journey ahead.

The Baby Manticore – From Illustration to Novel Cover

The baby manticore illustration I created plays a crucial role in bringing the world of A Manticore Calls to life. This illustration captures the mythical creature at a pivotal moment in the story, adding an element of wonder and intrigue. The design is not just a standalone piece; it will be transformed into the novel's cover, encapsulating the essence of the book’s fantasy world. As the centerpiece of the cover, the manticore will symbolize the mystery and adventure that unfolds within the pages. Through refinement and adjustment, this image will evolve to reflect the novel's themes and atmosphere, creating a visually captivating introduction to the book.

Romlisle – Bringing a Country to Life Through Design

For Romlisle, one of the key countries in A Manticore Calls, I created a graphic design that reflects its unique environment and role within the novel. The design captures the essence of Romlisle’s landscape, from its vast deserts to its rich, mythical atmosphere. The color palette and visual elements are carefully chosen to evoke the feeling of shifting sands and the mysterious allure of the country. This design not only brings Romlisle to life visually but also serves as a key part of the world-building, helping readers feel immersed in the story’s setting. As with other countries in the novel, the design for Romlisle will evolve, eventually being complemented by animations and other visuals that further showcase the country’s character and importance within the narrative.
