Crowdfunding since 2010

After the long war with Gods is over, Tommy Miln, a boy with special powers joins the legendary squad to fight against the cruel organization Phoenix

Hi there! I'm Alicia, a 15 years old graphic artist from Berlin. For almost a year I've been working hard on my graphic novel "Dark Shadows of God". First Volume of this manga - consisting of 5 chapters and more than 150 pages - is now almost finished. But there is still so much to do — digitizing, editing, translations and grammar checking for both German and English versions, typesetting, page-making, and then, finally, publishing. That's why I need your help.

What is this project all about?

You can help a new series of graphic novel "Dark Shadows of God" see the light of day. Although the drawing style is black and white, and quite dark, the characters are very colorful.
Meet Tommy Miln, a boy with special powers, who is the main character of this story. He is trying to find a way to fight the evil without killing. Also meet his unfriendly friend Neko with his Demon Cat, disgusting Mole, wise old man Xenobia, ominous organization Phoenix and the 12 evil Gods, who all marked the beginning of this whole story.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

The goal is to let this comic see the world.
Since this is a graphic novel, the target audience will be quite broad. Everyone who has ever read a comic and who loves superheroes or graphic arts with a sense of humor, will want to see it.

Why would you support this project?

  • I really believe that the story itself is enthralling and worth sharing, it's twisted deep, but light told, sad and fun, dark and sinister, but humorous at the same time. The characters are original and well thought-through, I hope you will love some of them and hate the other ones.
  • To create this special dark ambience I mastered a very special ink-technique with detailed graphics, combined with watercolor fill-ins, which allowed me to create dark entourage for the story. But the daylight scenes stay dynamic and emotional. Check out the preview pictures, hopefully you'll like them.
  • I'm only 15 and that is my first tryout. If I become famous artist or comic author one day (and I'm working hard on that), you will become a part of this history. Just imagine, you are that person, who supported and helped the future-to-be-legendary Alicia Matrenitski to become who she is. As a proof you'll have the priceless first edition, signed by the author :-)))
  • And if I don't become a celebrity... well, this would mean you will just have helped an ordinary girl to fulfill her dreams. And you will be my hero anyway! Isn't this priceless?
  • I've prepared some really nice personal art-rewards for my supporters. Check them out — they're worth it just by themselves, aren't they?

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

All the money will be spent on materials, pre-publishing processing and printing with a publishing agency.
The more funding the manga gets, the better quality it will be. If we reach the stretched funding goal, we will print it both in English and German. And the more copies we print out, the more popular the "Dark Shadows of God" may become.

Who are the people behind the project?

I am Alicia Matrenitski from Berlin, let's get in touch on Facebook or Instagram @alisolstitium. I make up stories, characters, line-ups and draw it all by hand only myself, using a wide range of techniques with inks, screen-tones, watercolors and fine-rollers.

My father, Maxim Matrenitski (https://fb.com/matrenitski) supports me with this project. He will take care of all the legal and organizational matters, and will help me to deal with publishers.
