In SerialThe Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic Fantasy Mystery Tragedy Psychological
*** June 21th Update ***
- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!
- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions.
- Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.
- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the story
Finally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts.
For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary.
Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition.
Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot.
Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.
