More sneak peeks for my cover of The Fox's Crown! 😎
antanowrites.bsky.social Antano Sparreboom @antanowrites.bsky.social · Jul 19
Now onto the first draft of The Fox's Crown cover art by @merilliza.bsky.social. We went for a combination of thumbnails B and D, so we have the heroic stance but also the cool lanterns on the ship. Expect a lot more colors, but the composition probably won't change much for the final version.

Recently I received the first sketches for the cover of my upcoming book, The Fox's Crown, and I'm already impressed. I was drawn in by the great fantasy illustrations on @merilliza.bsky.social's site. Check out her page if you're looking for a good fantasy cover artist!

Sometimes, life really finds the perfect timing to kick you in the butt.

I'm in the middle of a move, on top of just going through heartbreak and acceptance of a relationship ending, now my work laptop decides to break itself in the middle of all this and my brain just wants to explode now pls. 😭

Volcanic slough- An oil painting of an volcanic environment at a dark, moody sunset. Glowing orange and yellow Lava flows over cliffs like a waterfall into a swamp creating steam. The swamp water is a grey blue reflecting the lava flows and steam in some areas. There is a small rapids as the water flow exits at the right side of the painting. A volcano in the background spews ash into the air as it is about to erupt.

A triptych of paintings dedicated to adventure, exploration and discovery (my favorite verbs). I always imagined if I made a game from this all it would be from this perspective.
A lone adventure rests on a stone bench by an overgrown pool, bathed in sunlight surrounded by the ruins of an ancient civilization. Our adventure has delved to the center of the ruins and discovered the treasure that lies within. A golden chest surrounded by mysterious statues. What did they endure to get here, and will the reward be worth it? A moments hesitation as our adventurer, torch in hand, approaches the entrance to the dungeon. Darkness lies within, watchful statues nearby, the opening like a monsters cavernous mouth.

🔴CALLING ALL ARTISTS🔴

Christie's NYC is planning an AI art auction expected to bring in over $600,000 to creators who've used models trained on copyrighted material from non-consenting artists.

If you object to this, please sign and share this open letter.

openletter.earth/cancel-the-c...
8 February 2025 Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez Christie’s, New York Dear Nicole and Sebastian, We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christie’s. Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them. Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companies’ mass theft of human artists’ work. We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction. Yours sincerely, The undersigned artists
