The first thing I made for The Golden Net was this illustration way back in 2023. It shows Miro taking revenge against his childhood friend and murderer, Atan, by transforming him into a fish and tricking Atan's brother, Kefa, into eating him.
When I made the illustration, I had no idea what could lead up to a moment like this, only that that this is how things would end. So, the goal since then has been to create the world that these characters live in, give them the skills they need to make the Golden Net, and add a whole lot of flavor, motivation, and unexpected turns to their journey.
The skeleton of the story was planned out in 2025, and shared in-person or through scattered posts on the internet. In early 2026, the first drafts were written, and with the help and encouragement of friends, the first two (out of three) parts of the story were finished and shared on the internet in October 2026.
I hope you'll return to see what else has been added to this story and its site!
