The Celebrity on My Father's Side of the Family


Eee!











The Easter Bunny, from an old school textbook; two views of the disturbing Eekus in toy form; Eighty-Three carries its own date on the calendar and tapestry on the table (at least you can read it on the runes on the original); Emelius Brown in his study is visited by three children from the future (which the AI multiplied to four); a wizard has an Emergence from a cave; an Enchanter reads his book; Eostre is the supposed goddess of Easter (on no firm evidence); Errki confronts the devil's cat; and a couple spend an Evening In.

Dragons and Dunwolf











Of course we couldn't get through D without a plethora of dragons. Dragon Early and Dragon date from middle school, and Dragon Fly from my junior year in high school (I was pleased that it replicated the tint of the map colors that I used). Dragonlord was my attempt at an illustration from Earthsea. There are a couple of Dudleys from my second grade favorite, Thaddeus Jones and the Dragon. There are a couple of Dunwolfs, the main wizard from Goldfire. That one staff was drawn years before Jackson's LOTR. Dusty Attic is also from one of my primeval attempts.

Dr. Dee and Other Dark D's











A Dark Elf beckons you to his cave. The Dark Mirror shows strange visions in the wilderness. The undead Deacon rises. Two views of the grave of Deag.  The Deathwalkers follow their master across the heath.  Two versions of Defending the Gate. Dr. Dee and Edward Kelly conjure up the ghost of a dead woman. And Dr. Vogel seems to have put the hexum on his picture; I tried the most revisions on him, including trying to add a little vanishing trail of pawprints to imply his invisible familiar. I think the AI has problems interpreting the rather impressionistic wood-blocky artwork Here is the original:


May I Present To You My Card?








John made these cool versions of the cards and a possible backing for them. I like them because they are made to resemble actual Tarot cards, while at the same time preserving more of my original drawings AND making it look like I could draw them better than I did.
