The eyes? Just sunglasses. There was a bright sun, despite all the shadow.

My pictures are drawn on a Macintosh using a pressure-sensitive Wacom tablet. I use several programs for each, and I use roughly twenty graphics programs in all. Some are huge and expensive; others are tiny and (almost) free, intended for use with an iPad, which I also use. A few of them are hardly more than toys.

I have no single process or technique. I consciously avoid one because (especially with digital art) it is easy to slip into predictable gimmicks. I work in a wide variety of styles precisely to avoid that, and I actually try to forget how a certain thing was done because I don't want to do it the same way twice.

Candidate? Is that woman running for office?

Given the current climate, she'd do better to stay in the woods.

I think this is my favorite.
Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He’d take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they’d been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia.

The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.

"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

No problem. I'm used to it by now.
