Legend Brewing Has Started

The fictional brewing company inside the world of Nero is manifesting in the real world. I (the artist and brewmaster), am taking the fictional, in-world brewery and making real beers. It’s fun! I just performed my second brew day (of many more to come) and so far, so good.

Legend Brewing’s first beer is right around the corner. Let me introduce:

Bottle label for the Necromancer Milk Stout based on original character, Natasha from Legend of Nero.

Overview

Decadently evil combination of chocolate, cinnamon, and marshmallow. Awaken your spirits and raise the dead with The Necromancer.

Natasha is a key figure in the Celestial Princess saga and I figured a dark milk stout would be the perfect compliment.

Also, stay tuned for a brew day and tasting video on the YouTube channel when it’s available.

That’s it for now. Brew on!

Introducing LEGEND Brewing

Hello Residents of Nero! This is NeroGod speaking…

As many of you (the inhabitants of Nero) know, LEGEND Brewing is a staple in our economy. Every inn and tavern across the seven islands serve their delicious beverages. Where would we be if not for beer? The mind boggles at the thought. Moving on, I’m here to announce the expansion of the Nero staple with the addition of a YouTube channel. The powers-that-be within LEGEND Brewing are taking it upon themselves to share their legacy with the world. Take a deep look into the inner workings of the brewery’s beginnings and how they concocted the famous beers we enjoy today. Check it out today and give them some of that Nero love! That is all. Please return to your usual purposes.

Nero is Happening, YAY!

The Legend of Nero is an idea I crafted a long time ago while I was still in high school. The concept of my main character, Adrianna, was the first original character I ever created. I was terrified. The thought of putting myself out into the world with my own creation scared me to the point that I it’s taken me more than 20 years to develop a story for her I consider “good enough” to tell. I’m swallowing my fear and presenting Adrianna’s story to you bit by bit.

The bigger picture is my main project, a graphic novel series exploring the world of Nero. It will definitely take me a while to complete and I promise to make updates regular to the site. In the meantime, I will be hosting a new YouTube series where I cross my Nero in-universe brewing company, Legend Brewing, with making home-brew beer. I’ll discuss world lore, characters, artwork, and best of all, beer. It’s an interesting concept and I hope you find it entertaining.

As far as the graphic novel is concerned, the first volume is completely written. It includes 13 episodes and I’m currently illustrating the first episode, “The Birth of a Celestial Princess.”

Stay tuned for more updates. Tim out!
