Hero's Journey

When a hero is on a quest, he must often undertake a perilous journey. Sometimes there is no road, so he must trek through unknown paths through thick woods or the arid desert. Sometimes, the hero does make his journey on a road. On this road he may come across a fork on the road. Each path can lead him to a different adventure. Deciding which road to take can allow him to complete his quest. But the wrong road can lead him astray.

Here are some of the web graphics that I have designed for Timeless Myths, revealing the different evolutions of the Timeless Myths' logo. Some of these animations include Flash animation.
