Six hours left to back Modern Dragons!

The little dragon from the piece posted yesterday has broken into the bakery and is curled up on a hoard of bread loaves and bagels! He looks peaceful! He's surrounded by warm orange bricks and toasty bread racks, with an oven above him.

It's the last day to back Modern Dragons!

A digital illustration of a little brown/red dragon on the curb outside a bakery in the pouring rain. The bakery window is golden, warm, and alluring. The colors outside are cold and blue. The dragon just wants to be inside!

Every day of my life now I’m fending off baseless false AI accusations from people going as far as to reply to other commenters

A comment exchange with personal information scribbled out. First commenter says “amazing progression man. Is the bakery dragon a story or picture book?” And someone replies “some of these are AI”

Garden Dragons (2 days left to back Modern Dragons!)

A girl greets little winged dragons in her garden in this digital painting. The girl has brown skin and purple box braids, she wears a yellow and pink T-shirt and orange shorts. She is repotting plants at a garden bench outside. She greets a little docile dragon that resembles a large white crested gecko. It sniffs her fingers. Two other dragons look on, perched on a garden shade.

Three days left to back "Modern Dragons"

A girl with two buns in her hair stands in front of an arcade prize counter. A black dragon, lit with purple, is curled up on top of the prize counter on top of a massive pile of arcade toys. We see all sorts of arcade prizes and toys throughout the room, all in neon pinks, yellows, greens, cyans, etc. Popular characters such as Spongebob, the powerpuff girls, and neopets can be spotted among the stuffed prizes. We see a variety of arcade machines in the foreground, such as street fighter and the simpsons. The girl carries a sack and a backpack - it is clear she plans to rob the arcade. But oh no, the dragon's pink eyes are open and he has spotted her!

When we first met

Devin - New Artbook on Kickstarter!@devinellekurtz.bsky.social · 3mo ago

contemplating time

A girl sits atop the skull of a very big and ancient reptilian with her dog, watching the sunrise. They are above a lake within a mountainous forest. The skull resembles a gigantic chameleon. The creature's bones are sinking into the bog, covered in grasses and stones. The colors are purple and orange-gold.

The problem with outdoor gas stations

A digital illustration of a rural gas station in the early evening. A big dragon with a silly blank stare on her face has landed on the roof of the gas station and build a nest for three blue eggs. On the ground, firefighters shut down the gas station and surround it with explosion warning signs - a nod to dragons' fire-breathing capabilities. A local resident asks to get just a small can of gas, and is denied by a firefighter. Cats wander all throughout the scene, and a distant firefighter pets one. The dragon seems wholly uninterested in breathing fire. Despite being a bird-boned creature, the dragon's weight has caused the roof to start cracking, so it has been reinforced with steel scaffolding. The colors are sunset pinks, glowing yellows, and cyans.

My very first tiger drawing and my latest

Three very silly tigers drawn by a a very young child. The stripes are horizontal instead of vertical, and the faces are bean shaped. The bottom tiger says “rore”

Library fines have gotten weird since the change in management

In this digital painting, a girl is walking down the spiral staircase of a library, carrying a box of treasures in her arms. She has a brown canvas backpack full of books on her back. In the center of the tower-shaped library, a two-headed dragon rests atop a massive pile of books. One of the heads is sleeping, while the other has just awoken and peeks with one cyan eye at the girl descending the stairs. A very anxious librarian is a short distance up the stairs, gripping the rail and his cane, and an equally anxious library assistant sits on the stair above him. Blue stained glass windows cast a bright light through the image, and a normal window somewhere offscreen lets in a vibrant warmth that hits the girl and the dragon. The girl appears uncertain too, and has an overdue notice in her backpack -- she is delivering overdue fines to the dragon, in the form of personal treasures!

I really appreciate all the kind comments on my lamenting into the void about AI. I promise I’ll never let the machines dim my love for making human art.

Late night at the art studio

In this digital painting, a girl is working on a collection of oil paintings of a tiger late at night in an art studio. A real tiger jumps straight out of the biggest canvas onto the floor in front of her, and she draws back in surprise! The girl has brown hair, brown skin, and a blue painting T-shirt that says "Save Earth" and is covered in paint marks. She is wearing casual clothes, and has clearly been on a late deadline!
