So many things can happen in a year, so many things can change and so many things can transform entirely.
But there are many things that refuse to change, move or transform no matter how much time passes over them all.
The Duat Emperor is one of those things that refuses to move unless is treated with the respect it deserves.

Originally, my idea of creating a silly comic strip to show off an original character was, in many ways, disrespectful for both, the project and the character.
It has taken me almost an entire year of thinking, doodling and dreaming to realize the nature of what I have growing in my head and my hands, for it is now that I realize the Duat Emperor is, indeed, something alive that breathes new life every time I aproach it with the intention of working on it.

And so, one morning of a snow carpeted Berlin I realized what I was doing was creating Art. Not just an excuse for it or a medium for it, but Art itself. Primal, sincere, vulnerable, fragile Art that flickers with the promise of becoming a raging dragon as big as the Heaven and as powerful as Hell. My creation.

No longer The Duat Emperor will be treated as just a silly project of doodles in the hopes of one day be able to turn it into ART. IT IS ART, since it's very inception so many years ago has been ART and as such it will be treated from now on.

There is much I need to learn about techniques and methods to bring up a higher quality to my ART, to The Duat Emperor, but hopefully the journey will be a fun one and the project will grow and become better as the years go by from this day on.

Prost to Art, for it is Art the only thing that can save us from the dark depths of the abyss.
