Really trying to live in this world I'm creating and thinking about the spaces these characters inhabit and move around in. Replacing the sliding doors with glass-paneled, swinging balcony doors—I felt these would be more in tune with Lady Baz's space.

Pencils I made on a moleskine sketchbook page back in 2016.

"I am what happens when you try to carve God out of the wood of your own hunger." ~DeepSeek R1

I don't know the exact question that was asked of this AI... But this is the kind of answer imagine would come from the AI that will eventually birth Skynet.

Lol

Only I understand the power of my chicken scratch thumbnails. Lol.

Also, Raptors done by 20 on snowy night.

We've watched, read, and played dystopian, sci-fi tales for so long, but to witness it in real life is surreal and discombobulating.

Standing in the grocery store and hit with a very surreal sense of what things are going to be in the not too distant future.

OpenAI crying that DeepSeek was built by improperly utilizing their tech is sweet sweet candy. Sucks to be you, Sam.

Scene: You're working on your 84 page comic idea but realize you need to inject more interesting and storing building scenes that will take it beyond.

Annnddddd, Action!

Probably time to delete, Facebook and IG. Just burn it all.

A working design for submission to a con. I'll probably design my title header down the road.

I started this project with pencil on paper and digital inks. Halfway through I switch to all digital. Not sure if it was the right decision but it was interesting. I could see my art shift and morph quickly going all digital.

May go back to pencils in the future.
