ah man this is stuff from about 1 year ago but i like coming back to it...

This is hildegunst von mythenmetz, a known Zamonian writer!! Basically, i wanted to redesign the books by hildegunst von mythenmetz Walter Moers in my style for uni....and these were the skecthes i did but to be fair i just wanted to draw more of Moerses characters xd

Ive known these books for a long time and its such a shame so little people know about them! Theyre mostly popular in germany and sadly they stopped translating them... Im not sure how i can sell you this series but City of Dreaming Books is great, it reminds me of grimms fairy tales but theyre humoristic as well, and moers did the illustrations for it himself... Recently a visual novel of the book i mentioned came out and its looking real pretty as well (also the books mostly feature non human characters which is cool for me i like creatures)

Time for niche posting:

New Walter Moers Zamonia novel arrived yesterday

It's over 600 pages with lots of great drawings

It's a Mythenmetz (Yarnspinner) novel, but since it's not the sequel to the Buchhaim books I'm looking forward to find out how it ties in.

"Playing a Rumo meant, on one hand, to challenge one's luck and risk losing absolutely everything. On the other hand, it promised the possibility of a triumphant victory."

In time for Hamoulimepp

(or Christmas, as it is known outside of Zamonia) the crew of the Zamonia short film "Eißpin der sehr Schreckliche" / "The Alchemaster's Apprentice" have released a new link for you to watch it!

It's active between 23.12. 4pm and 26.12. 10 pm CET, so bookmark it and then get cozy when the holidays roll around.

to the movie

If you liked it why not go ahead and give them some love on instagram or via mail.

[to-hel-and-back]

So, a new Zamonia book was announced on december 19th (I only noticed now #fakefan) titled "Das Eichhörnchen, das rückwärts leben wollte" (translated "The squirrel that wanted to live backwards"), a collection of 20 short stories by Mythenmetz.

EDIT: I just realized it's Einhörnchen nicht Eichhörnchen lol it's a play on unicorn (Einhorn) and squirrel (Eichhörnchen), since the character is a squirrel with a horn.

I can read I swear...

ngl lads, I'm tired...

Oh my god @ the Russian cover of Rumo

There is so little in this picture but also So Much.

I don't know if Rumo is tiny or if Ticktack is just a Huge As Fuck guy? And Ticktack is decisively human as well, giving HUGE Doctor Doom vibes? This is clearly meant to be the final fight between them in the Theatre of Beautiful Death with the sparks and the blue rain, but it also looks like a meadow on the ground with some volcanoes in the background?

And while I have questions, I also have a huge amount of respect for this because it looks amazing, even though the original cover and all versions with Moers's art are perfect to me.

#zamonien #zamonia #rumo und die wunder im dunkeln #rumo and his miraculous adventures #im not rifing on the artist in fact it looks great but as a whole i think ticktack is just a very difficult character to depict #NOT EVEN MOERS DID THAT AND PROBABLY FOR GOOD REASON

1. Switches gears between "hilarious" and "profound" and "jaw on the floor because of how emotionally loaded this silly story has just become" with little effort

2. Will name characters after anything

3. Will refer to things from our world, sometimes very subtly, sometimes as unsubtly as getting slapped in the face is subtle

4. "what if this classic storytelling fantasy thing but different"

5. What if WORLDBUILDING, but thought through to it's logical conclusion.

6. Fiction books that contain a surprising level of practical life advice

7. CITIES. Big capital cities that should not WORK. But they DO.

8. Bonus points if I close the book and think "what the fuck have I just read"

So yeah anyways this is me seamlessly going from reading Discworld again to reading Zamonia again, thinking about who would win in a fight between Ankh-Morpork and Atlantis.

((Honestly my money is on Ankh-Morpork. They're meaner. And also Atlantis literally fucked off into space. Which counts for disqualification.))

Anyways, if you're interested in this sort of shenanigans, please read a Zamonia novel.

And by shenanigans I mean that there's a writer mentioned in Labyrinth of Dreaming Books by the name of Eiderich Fishnertz

And I'm here like thinking who is that? (Because of anagram shenanigans)

And then it's Friedrich Nietzsche.

That sort of shenanigans.

My favorite is The city of dreaming books but the 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear is also great, or Rumo, or ANY ONE OF THEM I promise they're so neat!

It's 3 am here in my country but I just came up with something hilarious

Imagine if Homuncolossus' name was like... John or something. Just the most basic white name you can imagine.

Like.. Homuncolossus, the dark bloodthirsty monster of the Bookholm catacombs, the dreaded and renowned Shadow king Steve
