We'd better build more AI data centers, AI will fix this problem for us --

*waits five years*

The oceans have boiled and the drinking water is gone but at least all the intellectual property has been stolen and now I can use AI to create a really accurate representation of Batman fucking Pikachu

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.

collage of several illustrated ttrpg characters. Left to right: An adventurer half orc lady with a huge Warhammer across her shoulders, on which are perched two round robins; a monk turned swashbuckler half elf in a peach tunic holding a mysterious crystal pendant that glows green like a tropical sea; a mountain elf ranger walking on a stony path, holding her thick wool cape up to let a group of elephant shrews pass by. painted by illustrator Lise Baron.

Book cover representing the two main characters of the book framed by a full page of ornaments. Teriana on the right, a young woman with a deep dark skin and large blue eyes, wearing ornate waist long braids, a large white linen pirate shirt and a collection of gold bangles. Marcus on the left, a fierce blond Roman-like commander with a large scar on his right cheek, wears a cuirrasse with a XXXVII embossed, a thick red cloak. A golden dragon ornates his leather belt. Dark Shores is written by Danielle L. Jensen. This cover is the french pocket format, published by éditions Bragelonne and painted by illustrator Lise Baron.

Painterly painting of a centaur-ibex granny climbing a cliff to harvest her hawks' eggs, by illustrator Lise Baron. On the cliff we can see the bird's nest, a domesticated squirrel picking one of its eggs. In the distance, warmly illuminated mountains and on the edge of a cliff, a little farmstead waiting for her to return. The scene is full of rocks, grass and little flowers. painted by illustrator Lise Baron

Digital painting study of Shishkin’s “Rye”; Serene end of the day landscape. Looking over a rye field from a wildflower overgrown dirt path, to great green trees carved over a warm grey overcast sky.
