Platypus of Truth

  Something that reminds me of LotR and something that reminds me of Exalted. Both drawn with a few changes from references. This is an AI reworking of a film still placing it in a different setting and the style of Blue Eyed Samurai (which I've only seen clips of). I spend a lot of my time doing AI art on Starryai these days. The daily challenges and discord channel are particularly motivating. I don't write anymore since my last novel failed to pass muster in terms of salability. With US readership down 40 percent over the past couple decades, I don't see a viable way forward for my authorial voice. 

  Zelda from several different references.

  October is Zelda season. Even if I'm not playing, it's Zelda season. 

 

  AI and drawing from the AI. Working in reverse this time.

  Heiratic versus dynamic here. Both are drawn in ballpoint pen and colored in with marker. The first is more original, drawing from a number of references and modifying them all to some degree. I just added some razzle dazzle to the second one. Looks like Deedlit's sis or something. Pen forces you to cover your mistakes and make as few as possible to begin with. It took several years to prefer pen to pencil, but I do now. I need to go figure out why.
