it's funny how some versions of your own work you kinda shed as you go along- I'm still proud of these sketches from 2014 from what eventually became Shardbound, but in a lot of ways it's a look & feel I've grown away from

10 years of study and 4 years of work.
May the Spirits be merciful to me. I have attempted to climb their starry ladder and unveil the secrets of their game! The story of many sinners and many saints, the tale of pilgrims and courtesans will serve you as a guide. It is done.

Framing the adoption of AI as an historical inevitability, rather than a way to do a thing you want or need done, gives the game away.

Nobody selling it this hard cares whether it helps; they want it to be the thing you have to deal with, like it or not. Problems, solutions, what’s the difference?
