"The Demoiselle D'Ys" (1895)
by Robert W. Chambers

Lost on the Breton moors, Phillip encounters Jeanne, the Demoiselle D'Ys. Taking shelter at her chateau, he falls in love with her, even as he notices that everything around him seems to be from long ago.

Chambers puts his own spin on star-crossed lovers across the ages, leaving open to debate whether this is a ghost story or a tale of time-travel.

I accept that their motives here are not 100% financial – though they undoubtedly are that too, and I get that times are tough in the #TTRPG industry – but that it is also intended as some kind of (ill-advised) experient in using AI art for horror games. And yes, AI art can create weird and eerie illustrations. But you know who could also have done that, and better than this? Actual artists!

As a longtime fan of @pelgranepress and especially RDL's work, I'm very disappointed to see them apparently embrace AI art. And honestly Robin's somewhat tonedeaf attempt at justifying it only makes it worse. Please don't do this, folks.

Couldn’t resist.

Ever been to a dim place where black stars rise in a sky overlooking the lake of Hali? If you never came back — and you never will, trust me — here's a postcard available at the local gift shop upon which you could write a final missive.

"No Mask," (detail)
A card illustration I painted for the "King in Yellow" Christmas card set created by Daniel Gelon and myself a few years back.

You can learn more about our King in Yellow holiday cards on the Weird Xmas Tales page of my site, artofheatherhudson.com

Also, it is possible that I described this art to a gallery owner as "two girls, one skull." Forgive me.
