What started as a video game concept became a short story, which became a novel, which became a novel series, The Ora Saga. Pretty cool.

Problem: I still want to make a game about this world.  I still want to tell short stories about this world. And I also would love to make some fine art works related to this world.

Solution: Do them all.
