The Mote in God's Eye

I can't decide the meaning or species of that three headed beast

A chimera, maybe. If you wanted to make it confusing just go from esoteric to DnD references and start referencing the Legion of the Chimera

Black Isle's last game, made in California, apparently now lost thanks to the dumb reckless stupidity of Interplay

Yeah, that one doesn't symbolize anything in particular, it was just the first thing I drew and I left it in

It's there to make things seem generally more apocalyptic I guess

No but it ended up looking kind of Trumpy

I was just trying to draw a head but it's really tiny so I didn't have much control over what the face came out looking like, I'm just glad it looks like a human face

how about the print for gate IIII of the Nine Gates:

was also thinking about the rider waite rendering of The Tower but that probably would not be quite right for that space

it's just a heavy application of red ink with the paper held upright in a vertical position

the lines are slightly less crooked IRL, I don't have a scanner and am photographing the pages, but the edges curl up a bit, causing it to be distorted

thanks

this one was weird, I have a long backlog and I usually ignore it and do something from the recent news, but this time I actually finished something that was long overdue. It felt weird because it lacked the same immediacy, and thus gave me a glimpse of how all this will look in years to come

it was also difficult to write, because part of my mind kept refusing to believe that this could possibly be the correct words in the correct order, so I kept doubting it and double checking

Looking over it all at once, I realize that condensing C-SPAM in this way may have been a bad idea

and it well become even more dense and bad with the help of posters like you!

yeah but I will actually write it, I'm not just gonna glue blank pages, that's rude

if I ever print and sell this, half of the cost will be based on the fact that I will take the impractical step of having all the books shipped to me so that I can apply cumshitting technology to them before sending them back to the distributor

The Mote in God's Eye

If this helps:

This is that Ted Cruz lookalike who appears in '50s and '60s films. I just watched The Killing and he is in that as a corrupt cop, I think His first name is also Ted (?!) and his last name is...Spanish? Italian? de Corsia

Also weirdly that film features Jeb! as the ultimate cuck

Weird how many people look like Ted Cruz! What a curse.

Heads up, I probably won't be able to make much artwork in the coming days, but who knows. I do appreciate the constant trickle of inspiration though, and I will return to it when I have time again
