From a while ago, back when my idea for a graphic novel was a little more anime-like. Was trying stuff with neon sharpies that are fluorescent under blacklight. These are not edited other than being cropped.

Deep within the oldest sectors of the Tower, the Engineer continues to tinker. He did not make the Tower directly, but he is the grandfather of the dreaded machines that did. His dark purpose now complete, he hides from his malevolent mechanical children in obsolescence, wishing to forget.

While her sensibilities are from an age long before their invention, Hope knows deep in her non-existent heart that the irony of turning these new so-called "necromechanical" weapons against their undead inventors would bring her satisfaction, were she still living.

Code Walker is up there for me too. Over about 5 years I've compiled a playlist that "sounds like" the graphic novel and/or indie game I've been wanting to make and there's a lot of Mega Drive on it. My art is mostly related to that story/game. Too much pondering, not enough actual work though.

METACURSE from that album is probably my favorite track. I feel like a lot of my art looks like that track in a kind of weird synesthesia sort of way.

I certainly got my money's worth anyway. Did nothing too important on there regardless. The hard drive with my Doom mapping efforts is still ok.

Actually it was the decade-old coolant system leaking into the graphics card in my logic engine that was the culprit. You will be missed, Compy.

A thing I made for a good friend of mine who goes by "JRoad" in his art. I wish he did more art. He used to draw on blank shipping labels and I would stick those on my sketchbooks. I like decorating the covers with other artists'work.

Today the device designated "RTX 2060" in the logic engine on my desk did too much math at once and burned itself out. Thankfully this will incur no impact to my renderings, as my process involves taking a photo with the broken camera on my glowing rectangle and deep-frying the image with filters.

When nobody is around, they descend to maintain the deeply-buried unknowable mechanisms of the planet. When somebody is around, they simply watch from unseen places, waiting for any intruders to expire... One way or another.

I suppose it flows once one has a process down. Still trying to pin mine down for whatever it is I'm trying to do. Still unsure, admittedly.

Artificial Intelligence. It's just a very complicated algorithm. I feel like many people think there's a little person living inside a computer but it's just the digital equivalent of turning a crank that spins tons of gears to make an output based on a ton of input and some dice rolling.

I never thought about it until now but you are right; always sounds like the sword is being sharpened as they unsheathe it 🤔 Admittedly that would be useful if it worked but I doubt it would.

I had the thought of having a Patreon once, but for some kind of woodworking/maker YouTube channel thing (before I rediscovered art). I then realized that making anything without filming and editing the video was enough work already

The labyrinthian machine catacombs have yet to be fully mapped out, partially because of the scale and partially because they do not want to be.

Bonus drawing, because I missed a day. I'm not sure if this is the same operative as the one with the giant suitcase from a couple posts ago. I'm still feeling out the narrative I've been pondering.

Interesting... Might have to post there as well. It may be worth me looking into seeking kind of post- disseminating... Uh, thingy. So I only have to do it once. Not sure if that's a thing.

It takes a special kind of person to be willing to actively work with the undead for a living, much less remain living around the undead.

I do think I didn't ruin things like my coloring efforts tend to with this one, but I've definitely done that more often than not.

I think what happened is that corporate entities that make a lot of this stuff just want money and they largely either "don't get it" or they just want to appeal to everybody, washing it out. I think one can tell if a piece of media had soul put into it, or conversely, if it was made without a soul.

I feel that. I tend to pass up all the remakes and rehashes of existing properties (I'll make Dune an exception). I like movies one has to or at least can critically think about. My taste in music has just gotten rather esoteric, and as far as games, I like the indie-developed ones that have a soul.

I have no idea what this is or does, but it was clearly not designed by the living. Probably some kind of necromechanical worker drone. Best keep away from it in any case. (Feeling lazy due to not feeling well, hence the lack of filters)

I don't often color my art, but with this one I'm not sure what version I like better. I am rather fond of the blue-green-yellow gradient on the robotic arm of the fish-piloted robotic construct. I often find coloring my art is a gamble as to whether or not it will be an improvement or a detriment.

A jungle no less hostile than the naturally-occuring ones on the surface. Centuries of study has yielded nothing but lost expeditions and insane researchers.
