‘The Carrion Collection: Shadows, Nils, And Temudjin’ Now Live On Kickstarter From Magnetic Press
by Brendan M. Allen
Magnetic Press has launched The Carrion Collection on Kickstarter. Three beautifully illustrated fantasy tales from celebrated French artist Antoine Carrion, also known as Tentacle Eye, are available to campaign backers in digital, hardcover, and softcover formats.
Known for his emotive and cinematic digital art, Carrion blends history and fantasy, creating visually compelling worlds. Featuring White Shadows, Nils, and Temudjin, each story in the collection comes alive with hypnotic visuals and moving depictions of human vulnerability. Carrion’s work turns each page into a cinematic experience that must be seen to be truly appreciated.
White Shadows
A kidnapped prince holds the key to a kingdom in conflict, but the mysterious Beast who took him may prove more dangerous than the whispers suggest. Written by Antoine Ozanam, this medieval tale of power and betrayal rivals Game of Thrones, featuring intricate alliances and dark supernatural undertones. Carrion’s intricate illustrations enrich the plot, making each page a visual feast. A true tale of power and betrayal.
Nils
Written by Jérôme Hamon, is a visionary post-apocalyptic fantasy in a world where crops have mysteriously ceased to grow. A young boy and his father embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind a technological empire draining life-giving spirits for selfish gains. Drawing from Norse mythology and Japanese Kami, Nils is a lushly illustrated tale exploring the consequences of environmental disregard.
Temudjin
This legendary Eastern epic, inspired by the rise of Genghis Khan, Temudjin transports readers to an ancient world where a reluctant leader possesses the ability to communicate with spirits. The mystical and historical collide in this operatic story, as he grapples with destiny and the burden of leadership. Antoine Ozanam’s poetic writing and Carrion’s dreamlike art breathe life into this timeless legend.
