No AI used in my cover arts. Heck off. I get to work a brilliant artist and friend, Felipe de Barros.

Here are just some of the early concept pieces he and I did for The Doors of Midnight before Tor got the manuscript going. I sent these and more to them.

We work hard and before a book's out and even the pubs start thinking on covers. Theme, imagery, symbolism, even color coding and theory *because I'm a fan too* especially due to certain films that have bled that through their storytelling like The Fall, and then Jet Li's, Hero.

Here were original concepts for what became The First Binding.

Where would you go?

And when it's all over… malleus' overblot… grim's overblot… could we finally go home?

Translated from fan to fan, see the artist's original work from the pin: https://br.pinterest.com/pin/902690319055568269/

What's your theory about the way home?

Hi!

@shapeshiftinterest ’s art of kid Bowser and Luigi is the cutest thing, so I drew some of them too!

So I've never actually played the game, so if you see any inaccuracies, nuh uh

Post: learning to spot the tells of generative images wouldn't be so necessary if people would just source the images

Half the comments: [lists of tells]

And I know I have made posts about spotting the tells, but, really: Sources! Sources are important! Because for years, if not decades already, there has been a problem of people posting art without sources, thereby robbing the artists of recognition

If you genuinely value the work of human artists, then, please: credit them.

Note: this post is not about generative images/AI art, and if you use it to comment on that, then you have missed the point. Please credit artists.

Here's a big post of some of my doodles of [Cap'n and crew] that I haven't posted yet! Couple are comics, couple are shitposts, you know how it goes.

(Also have some extra character tidbits beneath the cut!)

Cap'n (she/they) has become a Spongebob-adjacent "married to the job" type with sprinklings of "they are not immune to rose-tinted Company propaganda". Cartoonishly loyal to work, she's more upset about lying to the boss about her condition over actually becoming a monster on work time (though she isn't particularly a fan of being a monster, either).

Skeets (she/her) was already implied to be pretty optimistic and curious, but I've doubled down on this. She's constantly curious about entities and the state of her co-workers, asking questions and absorbing new information. She's also extremely lucky when it comes to encountering entities.

Mav (she/him), as implied by her nearly leaving Cap'n behind in the first comic, has become a "I won't hesitate, bitch" bitch. Split second decisions aren't an issue for her, she WILL shoot first and ask questions later. (She also now has a gambling addiction, haha. LOVES betting credits on things)

Kid (he/him) is now Irish. I will not elaborate. He's kind of literally the same otherwise. He's also in major inherited debt because of a Company-caused clerical error, but don't worry about it.

Uh. That's about it, I suppose!
