Thairien King aka UNSANCTIFIEDIST

Kill Your Conscience is a work in progress graphic novel, which depicts the dystopian world of New York City, in the year of 2038, and revolves around the problems of today’s world, such as homelessness, war, death, and other topics, the main topic being mental health. The book that has been produced, features a series of imagery, that uses shocking details in the background, trying to encourage viewers to look deeper into the meaning of today’s world problems. However, this is merely a glimpse into the full story. The setting of the graphic novel is dark, but neon, giving a sense of aesthetic, with a much more sinister meaning. It also reads like a graphically drawn trailer, getting the viewer to grips with the characters that are involved in this story, and how they’re affected by the big industry that seems to control a majority of the world, by manipulating and harming the public, behind closed doors. Each character has been affected in a different way, not everything is as it seems, it just takes a careful eye, and a sensible mind to realise that the effects of today’s world, will worsen over the years if nothing is done about it.


Mae Kill Your Conscience yn nofel graffig sydd ar waith ar hyn o bryd sy’n disgrifio bywyd dystopaidd dinas Efrog Newydd yn y flwyddyn 2038, ac sy’n troi o gylch problemau’r byd heddiw megis digartrefedd, rhyfel, marwolaeth a phynciau eraill a’r prif bwnc yw iechyd meddwl. Mae’r llyfr sydd wedi’i gynhyrchu yn cynnwys cyfres o ddelweddau sy’n defnyddio manylion arswydus yn y cefndir, yn ceisio annog y gwylwyr i edrych yn ddyfnach i ystyr problemau’r byd heddiw. Ond cipolwg yn unig yw hwn ar y stori lawn. Mae lleoliad y nofel graffig yn dywyll, ond yn neon, gan roi ymdeimlad o’r esthetig, ag ystyr yn llawer mwy sinistr. Mae’n darllen hefyd fel rhaglun wedi’i lunio’n graffigol sy’n galluogi’r gwyliwr i ddod yn gyfarwydd â’r cymeriadau yn y stori, a sut mae’r diwydiant mawr, sydd fel petai’n rheoli’r rhan fwyaf o’r byd drwy drafod a gwneud niwed i’r cyhoedd y tu ôl i ddrysau caeedig, yn effeithio arnyn nhw. Effeithiwyd ar bob cymeriad mewn ffordd wahanol, nid yw popeth fel y mae’n ymddangos, ond mae angen llygad gofalus a meddwl synhwyrol i sylweddoli y bydd effeithiau’r byd heddiw yn gwaethygu dros y blynyddoedd os na wneir dim yn ei gylch.
