If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

Our upcoming picture book, #OneOddBook will probably be one of the weirdest books children and adults will enjoy. All types of readers might find a little bit of themselves within the pages. Anyways, here's a peep of some of the fun pages illustrated by @robinachilds.bsky.social !

Standing 450 feet tall, naked as the day he was born, Ze'Doven runs his hands over the tops of redwood trees, the sky filled with suns and moons and stars. Above a primordial world, planets colliding, infinite destruction. Taking a break to paint fanart for @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social

My silence does not mean books aren't being made! @wingedelfgirl.bsky.social is fine-tuning character designs as we're jumping into the inking phase of our fantasy graphic novel #OtisAndTheSylvaBeast. Check out our main characters, Otis and Princess Darby.

It's great to work with detail-oriented artists. Lauren created a functional poncho for our traveling main character, Otis. The costume designs also capture our characters' culture as well as foreshadow some things 😉.

Patrons have a lot of fun choices to pick from this month. So many different versions of Krampus, but which ones will win? www.patreon.com/posts/illust...

Five different sketches depicting Krampus (scary Alpine folklore figure). 1. "Woodblock" faces the viewer directly with a stern face in almost a saint-like pose holding a switch and a piece of coal. 2. "Abstract" a border of chains frames a demonic creatures drawn entirely out of triangles. 3. "Pocket Monster" a cute version of Krampus with a long curly tongue and tail and big eyes. 4. "Dating Sim" a hot anime boy version with a fur vest and absurd chain weapon. 5. "Horror film" a grotesque version with a mean leer holding a pitchfork and wearing bloody rags.

I am making a new character playlist and it's such a specific mood that it's hard to find songs that hit right.

Gotta say…

Sketchbook comic page 3:

Panel 1: Lucy is surrounded by speech bubbles and text, repeating the phrase “gotta say…” she looks terrified.

Panel 2: she is fleeing the repeated “gotta say”s, yelling “you gotta live with yourselves, but I don’t gotta!”

A note with a heart at the end reads “stop doing this I will not absolve you.”
