About the Creator
Daniel J Borodin has been a storyteller since he first picked up a crayon. From a young age he was drawn to the fantastical worlds of science fiction, horror, and fantasy – throughout his school years he would find himself in trouble for using school resources to create and distribute his own horror fantasy comics. He repeatedly missed the bus while absorbed in the worlds of French graphic novels (Asterix and Tintin in particular) he had found in the school library.
A teenager in the 90s, he watched the incredible boom of speculative sci-fi/fantasy in cinema and japanese animation. The best of these works combined kinetic action and visuals with thoughtful and detailed worldbuilding, and asked difficult questions about what it means to be human (often without positing any answers).
After a decade long career in film and television came to an end during COVID, Daniel started building the setting and exploring the themes that would become the world of Tyria. His childhood love of sequential art, horror, and fantasy has finally come full circle with Sanguine Star.
Sanguine Star is 100% human made. No generative AI is, or ever will be, used at any stage of the process.
