Knowing what I know now about Louise Blackwick books, I shudder to think the "decorative skull" the robots are carrying around with them is actually a real human skull. 😱💀

A Blackwick story without at least 1 beheading is considered a dull affair. 😁😅

Here are some more progress pics for the #bookcover of "Vivian Amberville - The Empire of Sand" (3rd book in the upcoming #darkfantasy series)💙📚 Everything you see was hand-drawn by yours truly (no AI) Tools: pen, paper & Wacom tablet I still got a very long way to go qua linework & colouring.😊🤞

By the way, here's the #conceptart I made for "Vivian Amberville - The Empire of Sand" (vol 3) book cover. Obviously, it's still rough around the edges and needs a lot of detail work, but I'd still appreciate some thoughts. #vivianamberville #darkfantasy #bookcover #conceptart #pencilsketch

NEW: And people say the Japanese Language Proficiency Test is hard. Japan's Kanji Kentei, a test of kanji ability, tests everything from handwriting to identifying misused kanji. Its upper levels are so tough that few people take them...and fewer pass.

From pages 38-45 of this remarkable book is a section on journalism that is so urgent, so compelling, so precise in identifying some of the major flaws and failures of mainstream journalism as an industry at this moment in time, that I wish I could make all American journalists read it.

Just as #Japan 's trading card boom indicates, the "emotional economy" is driven by personal values and connections. Respecting those values and connections, respecting the individuality that drives them, is essential.
