Day 11 #NoAInktober: Belt 🐟 Gave myself some flexibility on this prompt — originally inspired by a salmon head belt buckle I saw and the Darkest Dungeon fishmen! #art #fantasyart #inktober #darkestdungeon

An ink drawing of a fish man (head of a fish with a humanoid body covered in scales and fins) sitting on a dock with a fishing rod in his hand, feet dangling off the side of the dock. There’s a bucket full of dead fish behind him and a bottle at his side. He’s got ropes slung around his right shoulder and a harpoon on his back. His straw hat is shaped like a frisbee and underneath it fish netting drapes over his face. His belt carries several lures and his belt buckle is shaped like a salmon head.

Days 9 & 10 #NoAInktober: Tattoo & Ornament Trying to catch up after a few days away! A tattoo design for a pilgrimage to the holy city of Tyvantium, where the great Sphere hangs in the sky, and a haunted music box for @godin.bsky.social’s character Olam.

On the left, an ink drawing of a tattoo design in a woodcut style. From bottom to top: the word “Tyvantium” written in block letters below a laurel, above which sits a stylized clam and pearl with wings, then city buildings, some of which have large holes in the ceiling letting the sunlight in. Above that are humanoid figures floating towards a giant sphere in the sky, above which is the sun, which has wings outstretched towards the sphere and a crown inside of it. The whole design is encircled in small stars. On the right is an ovoid music box, lid open. The figure inside is a small dwarven woman, her hands clasped together in a praying position. The lid is painted with a landscape of a cave and columns with stars behind them. The sides of the music box are engraved with images of a frog, a bearded dwarven man, a skull, and a flower.

Three poses of the same kobold in various tap dancing positions. He’s wearing a flat-brimmed floppy hat, a neck kerchief, knee length breeches, and white dress shirt, and suspenders. In one pose, he’s holding rhythm bones that clack between his fingers.

The kobold has a mischievous smile on his face. The leonin has one hand on the haft of a massive axe that rests on the ground head down.

Day 3 #NoAInktober: Witchcraft Centipede Witch can make your wildest dreams come true…for the low, low price of one measly eyeball 👁️ #art #fantasyart #inktober #inkdrawing #horrorart

A four-armed humanoid figure garbed in flowing dark robes wields a sickle, a censer filled with smoking incense, and a handful of eyeballs attached to strings. Her neck is a centipede the snakes up and out of her cowl and ends in a small head whose face is shrouded in darkness by a pointy straw hat. The base of her neck is sprouting eyeballs like malignant growths. Spines grow out of her back and her arms are covered in a chitinous armor.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

It’s somehow already been three years since I made this illustration celebrating two of my absolute favorite things. Makes me want to revisit this crossover for the approaching Halloween season.
