This is Jona! She is a newest addition to Amity. We have been working on three projects that have been taking up most of our time. The first is Berona’s War, which you already know about. We want that book to be available in the first quarter of next year. SECOND, we have been working on a project called HeartString (or Geared Up) but that project is a Disney thing so we have to take that a step at a time until further notice. We had a post about what the project is about but removed it shortly after for respect to Disney.
This brings us to our newest love…”Jona’s Ark”

For centuries, Mother Nature and the God of Time we deeply in love with each other…but their love was a forbidden one. There was no seconds, hours, weeks or years…for the Gods, they just WERE and had ALWAYS been. But when passion got the better of Nature and Time, Jona was the result. A child born from a forbidden love had its consequences. As Jona was born, so was Pestilence. As Jona was the beginning of time, Pestilence would be the end.
The Clock had started ticking! And though this would not effect the gods, when time would end they would still be but this was not the same for Mother Nature or for her daughter Jona. Her parents had the power to intervene but were commanded not to by the other gods. This was the penance for a forbidden love…to sit back and helplessly watch their daughter and all nature to wither away.
It is up to Jona and Ark (a secret gift from her father) to stop the END.
              Ark

Yeah, the idea is a little out there but I think that’s what makes it fun! We’re not held down by many rules. Just like Berona, I will draw Jona

Jona
Because of her universal origin and her ability to influence time and nature, Jona wields
impressive power over her surroundings. And buried within her is the power to take any
aspect of nature and temporarily change it from beautiful element to terrible weapon.

and Anthony will draw her Ark

Ark
Father Time allowed one piece of Industry to exist upon the planet—a large wind-up robot. Ark never speaks, but follows Jona wherever she goes as her protector.
As a piece of Industry, Ark possesses the knowledge required to collect elements and materials and build new weapons. If he so chooses, he can temporarily upgrade himself to face down dangers. But he is happiest at his simplest, peaceful form and never attaches an upgrade permanently.

Now this is all still a work in progress. We have enough to enjoy working on the story but we know things are still subject to change.
Our Goal: to make a side scroller game!!! We have some simple animations done but are SO FAR from being anywhere impressive. We will try to post some animated character moves on a future posts.
On the next post Anthony can give you a little more on Ark but until then here is some more Jona…


This is another poster that we will combo our art…

Hope you like the idea
