art credits + some cover commentary under the cut :)

I had a lot of fun finding/using artworks with circles, lines, and shapes to symbolize different worlds/universes and/or the passage of time...

Artworks used, in order:

"Several Circles" by Wassily Kandinsky (1926)

"To all appearances, it was a hand of flesh and blood just like my own" by Odilon Redon (1896) — A ghostly hand that fits the plot. The artwork's title goes with the fic so well too...

"(#2) (from series, Quantum)" by Garo Antreasian (1966)

"The story of the sun, moon, and stars (1898)" by Agnes Giberne — inspired by the summary "Somewhere along the way, Draco realizes he's been thinking in lines, when he should have been thinking in circles." The original artwork comes with a caption 'Stars whose distances are well-known'... I really feel that it fits since Draco was named after a constellation... Also, the star-circles have numbers on them, which could be interpreted as H/D through different ages...

Max Brückner’s Collection of Polyhedral Models (1900) — Exploring different parallel universe versions of yourself... the more things change, the more they stay the same.

"Construction (SM lg71)" by László Moholy-Nagy (1924) — some mild spoilers for the fic! inspired by the phrases "...plot a path through the many universes such that he would never die." / "flickering through timelines? Just getting glimpses, really" .

"Fish Magic" by Paul Klee (1925)

"The Terrace at Saint-Germain, Spring" by Alfred Sisley (1875)

"Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare" by Claude Monet (1877)

"Charing Cross Bridge: Fog on the Thames" by Claude Monet (1903) — referenced in the fic. i try to pay attention!

"Boy with Kite" by Candido Portinari (1947) — Harry is a precious little lamb. more elaboration here

i’ve been making penguin classics-style covers for fics i have saved on my kindle, as inspired by zeziliazink and bubu0h’s works!

What is a Dog?

Playing around with Dall-E 3. It has some very impressive coherence but I think we're going to see the leapfrogging happen pretty quick.

But to play with that coherence, especially around text, I asked it to make me:

Prompt: a four-panel comic. a cute kid-sized velociraptor dinosaur trying to figure out what a dog is. Cute and quirky.

The results are beautifully surreal. Some examples in varying levels of weirdness:

This is the closest one to land near an actual idea (by chance, it's still a pareidolia engine), as our dinosaur seems to spot a dog, sees that there's both a dog and and anthro dog, and then has an existential crisis.

This cute little guy with the nostril-sized mouth is taken in by an inconsistent dog, but doesn't know what it does.

"is this a dog?" "What things' a dog?" "What's its quality?" AI's comin' for the anticomedy first.

Robot's like "screw the dinosaurs, I want to explore the Goofy/Pluto conundrum"

And this one's a different prompt entirely, but dang I love how it messed up here

(Prompt: a four-panel comic featuring a humanoid velociraptor in 80s clothing dancing, then tripping, and being embarrassed)

Skip, trip... emrrrrassed indeed.

Public domain character designs. I keep failing to draw full body lineart lol.

[ID: Twelve versions of the same digital drawing showing a wolf or dog character from the chest upward against a light grey background. Each has blank eyes with no pupil, and a spiked collar. The first is black with a light grey chest, and red stripes on its face, shoulders, and ears, with blank white eyes. The collar is matching red. The second has dark blue fur with gold stars and thin stripes, with white chest and central stripe on its face surrounded by sky blue, and red-brown eyes and collar. Above this one is a simple drawing of the character from the side on all fours, showing a white belly and tail, with white paws and lower legs light blue. The third is light purple with slightly darker purple stripes, with a white chest, and cheeks, and uneven large white or black patches. Its eyes are gold, the collar dull brown. The next three have the same base, of black fur, with white rib-like markings on the chest, and a skull like pattern on the face, and a black collar. The second and third versions of this have additional splashes of red and then green liquid, like blood or slime, drenching the neck, upper shoulders, and the crown of the head, dripping down the face and arms. The seventh is striped with dark and pale-grey purple, with dark teal and purple stripes going down the face and chest, with purple eyes and collar. The eighth is pale orange, with a thick gold band down the center, and more curved gold bands on the sides. The eyes are pale yellow, the collar red. The ninth is dark orange, with gold stripes, purple cheeks and chest, lower arms white, and white markings on the ears and around the eyes and nose. The tenth is dark blue, with a purple chest and stripes on the forehead, and pink markings around the eyes and above the nose. The eleventh is stripes in different shades of sea-foam, ice blue, and dark teal, with wing-like bands flaring out from the green eyes. The collar is black. The twelfth and last is monochrome black and grey, with stripes of different shades vertically on the face, then horizontal on the cheeks, chest, and arms. End ID.]

Feel free to donate some public domain full-body lineart for me to make more designs with lol...

Muphit, Felted Shambler

Creatures of strange forms linger in the soft spots where the Shadowfell and the Feywild both spill into the material plane at once. These places are like overripe fruit, sweet and aromatic yet lingering on the precipice of decay. Some dark entity may have hoped these locales would disgorge lethal abominations upon the world. They were half right. The two forces didn't merge, they cancelled each other out. The residue of this reaction did form living creatures, all seemingly powerful yet ultimately ineffective. They were, in essence, magic and nature's cruelest and most poorly-workshopped joke. The Muphits.

The Felted Shambler is one such creature. It is a vaguely frog-shaped humanoid, standing approximately 3 feet tall. Its outer skin is a felt-like mass of packed fibers that hold moisture and resist fire. Triangular growths of this material sprout from its neck and various patches on the limbs. They can be green, blue, red, or purple.

Born of the merging of the wild spirit of buffoonery and the essence of assassination, the Felted Shambler perceives all humanoids as its contracted targets, both in terms of entertainment and extralegal assassination.

As such, so long as it is observed the Felted Shambler is compelled to act out comedic sketches, songs and dance routines. It will do so with the assistance of other muphits if they are available.

The moment the shambler is no longer being watched by a sapient humanoid being, it immediately lunges for the nearest person with intent to strangle. If it falls into a person's field of view while lunging it will immediately snap back into comedic behavior. If it continues to be unseen, it will grasp its target's neck and begin to choke.

At this point, observing the creature will not deter it from using its unnatural strength. Fortunately, the felt shambler's strength is only unnatural in that it exists at all. Otherwise, its grip strength is exactly what is expected from damp living felt: 1/16th that of a human infant.

This will continue, with the creature making increasingly louder and more frustrated grunts of effort, until it tuckers itself out (usually 1-2 minutes) or the 'victim' makes eye contact for 2-3 seconds. In either case the shambler becomes visibly uncomfortable and retreats while doing improv.
