Richard Corben, one of his last stories done for "The Underground" press. Melton's Big Game. When I saw Sean Penn in One Battle After Another I thought they might have had this story in mind. Tight t shirt, veiney arms, white, close cropped hair. The last two scans show the dilapidated condition of the dust jacket. It's been opened a lot and gone through some moves. The last image is the "climax" of another story called The Beast of Wolvton.

Downloaded the cover, made Gemini produce bw line art, then tried the dual warm and cool painting in Grok. Decided a unified warm approach was best.

Last of the worthwhile Batobers , rendered by Grok with this prompt...

Render in rich dramatic NC Wyeth oil painterly style, thick visible brushstrokes, strong chiaroscuro lighting, textured canvas feel, vintage painted paperback cover aesthetic with subtle aged paper texture and edge wear. Keep exact composition, poses, silhouettes, and all sketch details faithfully preserved. Epic intense atmosphere.

Try it yourself.

Did a couple of pin ups for Mike Hoffman. I doubt he'd be enthused about GROK's versions. This is Octavia. The top one is best because GROK had more to go on. I wrote a line that it was the same character but the prompt needed language I was lacking.

Dipping into the Tumblr Archives and telling Gemini to wow me with my James Bama prompt skills. I really like how it took the washy, scribbly, Alien doodle and made an appealing marker level illustration out of it.

Whole lot of inktobers with mixed Grok results. Can't bat a 1000 with scrappy doodles.
