James Ninness
, MYTHOI's creator and writer received his degree in English: Creative Writing from California State University Long Beach. James's ability to balance comedy, drama and mythological accuracies with a cast of over 20 characters impressed Semantink enough to pick up MYTHOI as their premiere property. James has written MYTHOI in three other incarnations including a previous form of comic, a novel and as a film - two of which were in discussions before making his deal with Semantink.

Jed Soriano, MYTHOI's penciler, inker and colorer, is an incredible find for Semantink as one of the most multi-talented artists the company has ever seen. Jed is a self trained artist from the Philippines who honed is skills at the Art Institute in San Diego. Two years ago Jed was selected to represent Deviant Art at the San Diego Comic Con and has received over a million hits on his site.
