I did a thing. Meet Liam Meri'a Morvelet, the Bard of Sagon.
First image:
Painted circa 1250:5AE, right at the opulent peak of the Fifth Astral Era, this oil-on-oak panel is attributed to the master Raoul de Valois. Now, I want you to look closely at the lighting. Do you see how the light catches the side of his face while the rest of the study recedes into that deep, dramatic shadow? This technique—known as tenebrism—was revolutionary for its time. It tells us that Morvelet wasn't just a writer; he was a figure of immense gravity, a man bringing the 'light' of intellect into the world.
Second image:
This was the basis for the first image, which I made using Gemini. It took A LOT OF TIME because AI hates "making images worse" (according to it).
The first image will be going here: https://taper-project.jijivisa.org/#find
To be fair, it was programmed by programmers, not artists. 😹 This is ethical use of AI, don't worry. I'm struggling. Caravaggio will be OK.
