"Outfitting of the Princess Warrior"
I'm really happy that folks here enjoyed the homunculus painting! Here's my cyclops painting which also sprouted from the same weird mind garden, it's still a personal favorite of mine.

"Birth of the Homunculus"
A sorceress astounded by her creation.
This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday!
(see thread for details + process shot-by-shot)

PEGASUS IN FLIGHT (1990)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 29” x 20”
This was a rare instance, especially with Anne’s books, when Del Rey dictated what they wanted on the cover. I didn’t get to read the manuscript. Instead I worked with a brief overview. 1/3

“Nosedives” wouldn’t have been my choice of verb for this headline.
The European planemaker said fixes have been delivered to a “vast majority” of the nearly 6,000 A320 planes that were impacted by a technical glitch caused by “intense solar radiation.”

Amazon has seemingly removed the Banana Fish AI dub, likely in response to the vocal outcry
It should be noted that they can remove this AI dub, or all of their AI dubs
But they can’t remove the fact that they chose to try to do it in the first place.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

“We had our own apocalypse. A mass extinction event. We had to, or the world would have belonged to that… thing. So many had already died in fighting. So many of us and of them. Even Godzilla’s heart had stopped at one point…
His second chance couldn’t be wasted and his wrath would reset the world.”
