I’ve been starting to get more versatile with the brush pen. Also finally tidied up many years worth of novel notes into an extensive bulleted wiki, which I will be using to solidify my plot for Hobo City. I’ve pretty much fallen off the marketing horse for now.

After muaadib a study done to try to hone the ability to draw awesome dynamic poses. I didn’t even know there was a Street Fighter 3 like we’re in the future now.

I have been culling my worldbuilding notes into a massive wiki, using #workflowy This note about a particular ancient civ, the men were made to wear blinders under certain circumstances. Spurred me on to do a quick concept of what that might look like.

A quick study after Karl Kopinski. I haven’t felt creative. Nothing original has come out of me lately. Probably too much in shock over what I’m seeing. It’s widely thought that artists create from a place of emotional venting. For a pro doing art is like going to work, and when I am distraught, I find it much harder to work. Emotion is a distraction from work in fact. Ironically we are supposed to express emotions through art, but it’s done from a place of reflection, not so much from the front lines of feeling. In the meantime, I study.

A #ganportrait from my library of faces. Reminded me of Bilquis from American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I am perplexed about where my art should stand and it’s hard to focus on my slow brew fantasy ideas when the world is rapidly tumbling into a very real apocalypse. 😥 Can I make art that would materially help people in crisis? Should I even try? Open to suggestions.

Coral. Actually throughout my notes she has had several name changes and I always gravitate back to Coral. She is mother of Ola and partner to Paddock. An Alchemist Hobo. Their names like the traits in the faces to me, they stick and become part of the genetic makeup of the imagined character. Through the tweaking of genes available in these networked image databases “gans” we can now make almost any face that comes to mind and it’s only getting easier. I recently was interviewed by a new rivaling ai dreaming service to help them determine how artists are using these processes. Oh yes I told them I already have a wishlist.
