About

The Aether Chronicles is a digital illustrative book that blends breathtaking fantasy landscape artworks with rich lore.

Across 24 illustrations and atmospheric stories, you’ll follow the journey of the Chronicler—an Arcbot explorer—and his encounters with the Calyx, unusual entities, and mysterious worlds beyond imagination.

This campaign will bring the ArtBook to life with professionally edited lore, polished illustrations, and a fully compiled digital edition ready to be shared with the world.

Azure Inferno

Azure Inferno

At the heart of a fiery spectacle, the Chronicler and the Calyx bear witness to a volcanic symphony. Streams of blue magma dance ethereally against the night sky, illuminating the world in ghostly hues. From the smoke rise spectral skulls—haunting and silent—testaments to the primal forces that once shaped this realm.

Crimson Blade

Crimson Blade

Beneath the moonlight, deep within the shadowed forest, a sword pulsed with a sinister red glow—alive with hate. Guarded by the bot Kurogami, its presence was both ominous and strangely serene.

The Chronicler and the Calyx approached with measured steps, drawn to the weapon’s bleeding light. But as they entered the clearing, a chill crept through the trees. They were not alone—unseen eyes watched from the darkness beyond.

The Chronicler

The Chronicler is the heart of this collection — an Arcbot, a golem-like being. Once an archivist, he left behind the safety of routine to explore realms unknown. From tranquil aquariums to fractured skies, his journey uncovers forgotten battles, sacred guardians, and echoes of ancient civilizations.

Each piece of lore is paired with an original illustration, offering readers not just a story but an immersive world to step into.

The Creator

My name is Nova, and I am a visual artist with a love for drawing landscapes among other subjects. The Aether Chronicles is my first—and currently only—landscape collection, a project that took me around two years to complete.

From being a digital artist with a love for visual storytelling to building the foundations of The Aether Chronicles, this project combines years of imagination, visual art, and a deep passion for creating experiences that feel timeless. Each illustration has been carefully crafted, with every piece showcasing the diversity of various worlds.

This book represents not only a personal milestone but also an opportunity to share my worlds with a larger audience.

With your support, I can finally bring these dreamlike visions to life and share The Aether Chronicles within the hearts and minds of others.
✨ Thank you for believing in me, and for helping me turn a dream into something real.

The Campaign

The goal of this campaign round is to raise $500 to fund the first phase of The Aether Chronicles — focused on early concept refinement, layout testing, and sample editing.

This round will lay the groundwork for the final Digital Artbook, ensuring the tone, structure, and presentation feel cohesive before scaling up in later rounds.

---

What We Need

Your support will help cover:

Layout Testing – Testing visual composition and readability

Sample Editing – Polishing select lore sections to refine tone and pacing

Test Formatting & Layout – Producing early sample pages for review and feedback

---

Rewards

Supporters of this round will receive:

Your name featured in the Supporters’ Page (unless you prefer anonymity)

Early updates and behind-the-scenes progress previews as the project develops

Every contribution—whether $1 or $500—helps bring this vision to life and supports the foundation of The Aether Chronicles.

---

Risks

While the vision is clear, here are the risks and how I plan to address them:

Delays in editing or formatting – Managed with clear milestones and consistent updates to backers

Technical issues – Addressed by using reliable publishing tools and regular backups

Scope creep – Staying focused on this first test round ensures steady progress toward the full release

---

Future Rounds

This campaign marks the first step toward bringing The Aether Chronicles to life.

If this initial round is successfully funded and completed, the next phase will focus on publishing the full digital artbook, including all 24 illustrations and finalized lore.

Before launching that round, I’ll first complete the deliverables from this campaign — refining the layout, testing the visual flow, and gathering feedback — to ensure the foundation is solid before scaling up.

Additional Details

Supporters will be acknowledged in The Aether Chronicles and receive tiered rewards as the campaign grows.

If the campaign exceeds the funding goal, additional rewards such as wallpapers or profile icons may be added.

Every contribution helps bring this vision to life and share The Aether Chronicles with the world. Thank You.
