Inktober Day 5: Deer. Catching up on posting my Inktober drawings on here. This was one of my favorites, inspired by 20th century modern art. I think it might work even better in color, so I'm hoping to paint it at some point. #Art #Drawing #traditionalart #Inktober
Caption: Inktober Day 5: "Deer" Four people in a park gather around a thing made of deer parts, that seems to swirls and stretch around itself. The people in the park have each grabbed a part of the deer and are pulling on it.

Caption: Inktober 25 "Mustache" A man with a mustache that dominates most of his face sits in a chair staring off into the distance while mustache flies dance around his head Caption: Inktober 25 Day 2: "Weave" Three women sit around weaving a tapestry. One woman holds scissors and points at the tapestry while the other two women direct the loom. Caption: Inktober Day 3: "Crown" A man in a crown twirls his wand and a plant materializes from his other hand

Why is Chicago a GREAT town for comics creators? Concordia University (IL) student reporter Eric Perry asked me and (separately) Jazz musician Joe Clark, who’s done some comics writing on the side. A great tribute to our community in this time of travail.

I, for one, love AI art. It rules that we now have an objective way to see who has a soul or not.

True story.
Seven-panel comic depicting me toiling away at the difficult task of drawing comics, considering quitting, and a rather conveniently received email from a 5th grader that encouraged me to continue. Comics can be hard work, often with setbacks and challenges, but the inspiration they might give to others can make all the toil worth it.

When I made this piece a month ago, I hated it. Now, I'm not sure why. The proportions are a bit off, but the color palette and the shading on the hair is solid. It's odd to be so close to something that it's all that you can see and still not truly see it.

This last-minute reprieve is amazing news and the happy ending none of us dared to hope for, but at the same time, it will never NOT blow my mind that Warner Brothers is happy to fob off it’s FLAGSHIP, UNIVERSALLY BELOVED IP to a scrappy little indie distribution company.

Still experimenting with halftones. I think maybe adding them in sooner will help. Not sure. Maybe I need to abandon the softer textures and try for something toothier? Time will tell. #CalebEglandArt #Art #Artist #Drawing #sketch

Is it ethical? Well, no. Definitely not.

But what about the more pertinent question: is it legal? Also no.

When Meta started developing its flagship AI model, employees faced an ethical question, Alex Reisner writes. The program would need to be trained on a huge amount of high-quality writing to be competitive with products such as ChatGPT. Should they just pirate it?

Trying out some halftones on this sketch. Really interested with how this turned out. I'll have to do some more experimenting with halftones in the future.

Finally got around to finishing a sketch from a week ago. Really liked how this one turned out. Not sure if I would use the same brushes again. Perhaps the thrill of triumphing over bad brushes will pull me in once again.
