Meet Mari! A street girl who came up fighting her way through the tiered city of Bara-Lu, she now fights alongside Alani against five immortal sorcerers. We needed Alani to have a sidekick and she developed beautifully into a strong character on her own!

As a heads up, the book recommendation site The Book Rex uses Claude AI coding. Normally, I don't go hunting for this sort of thing. Not being an experienced programmer, I don't think I can reliably spot it most of the time. Yet they were just so sloppy here, it stood out.

A text entry taken from The Book Rex's glossary page, with HTML code visible on the page. Secret Identity / Hidden Truths <p data-start="6g" data-end="443">When a character conceals an important part of who they are or what they’re facing. This could mean living under an alias, disguising their true role, hiding magical powers, or keeping something deeply personal—like an illness, trauma, or secret past—from others. The tension comes from what happens if (or when) the truth is revealed.</p> A snippet of The Book Rex's website source code. This tell of "font-claude-response-body" commonly shows up when someone copy-pastes Claude's generated output.

one of the upsides of AI is that it's empirically proven that being an 'idea guy' doesn't mean shit. congrats, now you can manifest your idea with 0 effort the way youve always wanted. turns out it fuckin sucks. now pick up the pencil and drop the ego and make something dude

The absolute best way to keep the fascists strong is to run in terror from the lazy, completely predictable shit they say instead of mocking them then punching back 10x harder. nypost.com/2026/08/07/m...

ELRIC AND THE COLD DRAKE (2018) 
Oil on Canvas - 11" x 17" 

I had a quantity of the pigment left on my palette while working on an H.P. Lovecraft painting. I fished a canvas scrap out of the wastebasket in our print room and sketched this scene with the leftover Payne’s Grey and white. 1/2

A line of black rock littered with human skulls climbs from the immediate foreground up to the top of a snow covered hill backed by jagged mountain peaks. There Elric stands with an enormous white dragon spreading its wings wide. Ready to strike, its serpentine neck is coiled in an "S" as its jaws part in a hiss. With the drake at his back, Elric stands with windswept hair, dressed in black with the long blade of Stormbringer slung low at waist height. He stares at some threat off panel to the right.
