BLOODHOUNDS
"Bloodhounds" was a creative writing and art project in the works between 2010 and 2024. It is an action-thriller that takes place in a dystopian future, where a group of superhuman soldiers battle a biomechanical plague.
01
PLOT SUMMARY
A terrorist attack has left Britain in the midst of a zombie pandemic. The 'Disease' turns humans into monsters - mutants beyond recognition, turning cities to dust and drawing innocents into their ever-growing hivemind.
Enter the Bloodhounds; a superhuman spec-ops unit, and one of the country's last hopes. When one of their members loses their memory during an arson attack, the Bloodhounds are determined to locate the group responsible. During their investigation, however, they learn of a much darker terrorist plot that could not only destroy them, but what little remains of society.

ODD BEGINNINGS
The series spawned from a personal project, where a teenage Neme made character designs based off of roller coasters and theme parks. After several years, these humanised machines were re-designed into original characters with their own backstories and world, seperate from their original inspiration. A lot of superhero and anime influence can be found in both concept artworks and the story itself.
Each member of the Bloodhounds squad owns a Psionic - a device that essentially grants them super-powers. These powers include superhuman strength, flight, invisibility and construct creation. The plague they fight against is a hivemind run by one person, connected to a complex computer system, who wants to eradicate human sapience in order to establish a twisted, freedomless world peace.
The near-apocalyptic world took heavy inspiration from many video game works, such as Bioshock, Warframe, Dark Sector and Soma. Bloodhounds was originally going to consist of three novels, each with a different narrator and story.

POST-MORTEM
Due to personal circumstances and concerns regarding copyright infringement, the Bloodhounds project was discontinued in 2024.
While I am considering returning to the series someday, I am currently invested in other creative projects that have a wider target audience and greater potential.
I am currently considering making a compilation of concept art and written content relating to what would have been Bloodhounds' two sequels.
