I know all the pieces I've done for this series have been detailed, but this *might* be the most indulgent piece in the entire project, which is probably appropriate. Still coloring the Analeptic piece, but really wanted to nail the preliminary work on this one!

Theater-kids

Had some stuff come up this week, but finally got to finishing the line-art for this one! Hoping to have it colored within the next day or two if I can!

Don't talk to me until I've had my morning Analeptic

Still roughing some stuff out on this one, but wanted to at least get going on the most time-consuming parts of the lineart!

I should just leave it like this

Since watching Princess Mononoke for the first time as a young teen (still my favorite Ghibli), this image has been burned into my head-- definitely channeling it in this piece.

Coloring this is gonna be a pain in the ass, lmao

Here the streets swarmed with diverse humanity... so that when I saw, for example, a man whose hat was made from a bird's pelt with the wings used for ear flaps...I might see a hundred more such tribesmen around the next corner."

As with the other pieces-- had a commentary layer while I was working on the lineart!

Excited for this one.

A Boy and his Dog.

Beasts of Burden

All paid tiers get to see the lineart before the final, colored artwork is finished! www.patreon.com/nathananders...

I'll point to M. John Harrison's thoughts on worldbuilding every time the topic comes up!

Uploaded a couple sketches of upcoming BOTNS pieces to P*treon! www.patreon.com/nathananders...

This Doré plate from Inferno was the inspo behind the grave being lit up and Hildegrin's shadow stretching above him!

The Necropolis

It's coming along, but goddamn it took a while for it to gel for me.

1. You don't need AI to say this for you. 2. Combat vets aren't any more deserving of good health care than the rest of us.

Mr. Dracula and his cohorts

"There he go, a badgerin'... "

Anyway--chipping away at a sketch!

Chun the Unavoidable and his cape of eyeballs. Jack Vance's stuff is wild, haha.
