Sergio’s added some colour to our first double page spread for Magic of Myths: season two – so now you can see it in all its sunset-hued, gory glory:

During our creative discussions for season one, we decided to give the gods a bronze or gold plated (depending on their allegiance) statue look to add to their glittering – or tarnished – larger than life visage. As big fans of the legendary Ray Harryhausen, this double page spread brings together our references to his work, as well as being a big moment for the story.
We won’t give away much more info on this spread, but if you’re wondering (quick bolded clue, there for DC Comics fans) who the vicious lady with the sword is in the battle – that would be Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt and the moon…

And this is what the previously pencilled Magic of Myths: season two double page spread looks like with a little ink in its veins. Some colour is on its way…

Another, early look at some Magic of Myths: season two pencil artwork?
Sure, why not.
We won’t say what’s going on in this spread, but needless to say, things take a rather dramatic turn in Eve’s journey. And what she comes across changes the direction of her life forever…

So, let’s take a look at what to expect for the third part of Magic of Myths 2013 preview – and this is where we uncover some (but not all) of our planned surprises.
So, surprise number one.
In Magic of Myths 2013 preview we’re not just giving you a sneaky peek of Magic of Myths: season two AND a brand new, self-contained story… we’re offering two more things. The first of which is a batch of artwork pin-ups by guest artists, offering a fresh look at some of the characters from the growing series. As Sergio and I were brought together by Daniel Lundie and his Futurius brand, we thought it would be great to grab him and others from the Futurius alumni for some guest spots on the book. And they’ve delivered some excellent pin-ups. We’ll spotlight all the contributing artists very, very soon.
We’re also aware that some of Magic of Myths‘ readers are talented artists themselves, so we’ll be opening up the floor to more guest artist pin-ups in the future. If you’ve got an itch to draw Eve beating down on a fairy tale character or to show Byron chomping on a mythological figure, then get in touch!
Surprise number two:
Magic of Myths: Devil’s Trade
Yup, we’ve got a totally new Magic of Myths story in the pipeline, and you get to read some of it first. Magic of Myths: Devil’s Trade is a novella featuring season one’s ‘bad guys’ V and Byron, telling the tale of the unlikely duo’s first meeting and how they ended up becoming blood spattered collaborating enemies in a distant, magical land.
Shadows and secrets…
Magic of Myths 2013 preview will include a massive first look at Magic of Myths: Devil’s Trade, illustrated by Sergio. It’s not a story for the faint of heart, as the preview will reveal…
Expect more information on Magic of Myths: Devil’s Trade in the coming months, including a release date.
So, now you have an idea of what to expect in Magic of Myths 2013 preview – but we have a couple more bonuses for you. Did someone say, “freebies”…?

We’ve shown you a glimpse of the first part of Magic of Myths 2013 preview (and if not, catch up by clicking here) so here’s the second. On top of getting a seven page preview of Magic of Myths: season two, the preview book will also contain a totally new story drawn and written by Magic of Myths‘ artist, Sergio Calvet.
It’s a silent eight page story where Sergio takes you through one of our heroine’s past adventures with a mission which may hold a clue to Eve’s future…
A tale of times and trials past…
Magic of Myths 2013 preview has two more entirely new sections we’re going to show you – and a little secret we want to share with you. Join us for the next part, will you?

Magic of Myths artist, Sergio, was originally working on this pin-up as an homage to Ray Harryhausen, who is one of the main influences in Sergio’s design of the fantasy world shown in Magic of Myths.
He didn’t intend it to be a posthumous homage and was as saddened as anyone to hear of his passing. But it’s still a very fitting tribute to the departed special effects master.
Here’s to you, Mr Harryhausen.
