#Gideon the ninth fan art

[unwise-augur]

“You’re a nice girl,” the Lyctor said. “I had a nice girl as a cavalier, too… once. She died for me. What can you do?” (Gideon the Ninth, chapter 36)

[Image description: a three page lyric comic about Cytherea Loveday drawn in ink and watercolor, set to The Garden by The Crane Wives. The first three panels show a rapier with a rose on the hilt, Loveday staring up at Cytherea with blood on her lips and tears in her blue eyes, and Cytherea trying to smile back down at her with blood on her lips as well. Her eyes are shadowed by her hair. The lyrics shown in those panels are “tear it down, tear it down around my head”. The next panel is a wide shot, showing that Cytherea is kneeling with Loveday in her lap, rapier speared through Loveday’s gut. They’re surrounded by plants with a window at their backs, a figure taking up the side of the frame. The lyric here is “I need you”. The next panel has the words “to bury this”, and shows Cytherea looking up, her eyes now blue. There is also blue smeared down her face where Loveday was just holding it. The last panel, with the line “beneath by bed”, shows John holding a hand outstretched to Cytherea while Alecto stands in the distance. God is colored entirely in shades of gold.

The first panel next page shows champagne glasses being toasted together, while a seventh is held lower than the rest. The lyric in that panel is “the crows in the garden”. The next panel shows John sitting at the head of the table- Alecto standing behind his shoulder- clearly leading the toast. He is grinning despite the lyric drawn across the table being “are laughing at my expense”. The next panel shows Cytherea smiling grimly, blood still smeared on her lips and dress, colored entirely in shades of blue, with the line “drowning out all the lies that I might‘ve told instead”. The next panel shows Cytherea standing in front of Loveday’s gravestone- left the same place Loveday died- with the line “my stone”. The panel after that is split in half, one containing the words “my shield” and Cytherea’s arm holding the same rapier Loveday was stabbed with, and the other panel having the rest of Cytherea and the words “my steady hand”. She is clutching her skirt in one hand, and frowning deeply. The last panel shows Loveday standing up to her knees in dark water, shutting her eyes against a golden light at her back, with the line “hold your light to the darkness in my head”.

The first two panels on the final page, starting with “put your ear to my heart” has Dulcinea staring up at Cytherea with a rapier to her throat. Dulcinea grins down at her. The next panel has Dulcinea turned and smiling over her throat, Dominicus shining out the window. The accompanying lyric is “or set your teeth against my throat”. The next panel is split between Dulcinea kneeling in front of a window with blood down her lips, and Loveday bleeding out as Cytherea reaches for her with the line “give me something pretty to wear beneath my blood-stained clothes”. The next panel is Loveday speaking to someone out of frame, frowning harshly, while Cytherea has one hand on her shoulder and the other reaching for her face. The next panel is Cytherea falling into Gideon’s arms with the words “my darling”. The panel after that is Gideon looking confused as Cytherea holds her face with one hand and her shoulder in the other, as if finishing the motion she started with Loveday two panels ago. Gideon’s sunglasses do not hide the gold of her eyes. The final panel is of Harrow looking best to hell holding Gideon’s sword. Behind her, a tattered bush, torn grass, a fallen tree, and fragmented bone mark the battlefield. There are spots of gold at Harrow’s wrist and collarbone, matching her eyes. The line here is “the devil knows my name”. End description.

@scorpling: *galaxy brains* someone should draw the TLT necromancers as their corresponding Sailor Guardians

Me: Oh that sounds like a great idea. Too bad I've actually never watched Sailor Moon tho

Me:

Me: Palamedes in a miniskirt tho.

Sorry to be this person, but I haven't seen many others talking about it and I'm concerned by the positive reception it's recieved.

The Muca/Art Nouveau Gideon and Harrow by Mariellavee that have been doing the rounds on the tlt fandom circuit are very much AI Generated.

Here are the pieces. You may zoom in at your own discretion, but I will post a few especially egregious segments.

Some zoomed in segments:

The smudging, the strange stray lines with no clear human intent behind them, the strange fingers of course, and that one buckle that almost looks to have been generated in the shape of letters.

The "artist" of course does not disclose anywhere in her original post or tags that the work is AI generated, and its clear from the comments and tags that many people are not realizing.

It's clear Mariellavee drew over some parts to modify whatever the original generated piece looked like, but the meat of this piece is heavily ai.

This is not okay. The Locked Tomb is a beautiful piece of art, and the fandom contains so many fantastic and talented fan artists. I don't want to see the community poisoned with this nonsense. Support real artists and real art.
