*Amore Infernale*: The Version That Was

The never-before-seen Chapter 1

Before my latest AI illustration contest to draw my Amore Infernale, I had a regular illustration contest with the same goal. The winning artist, Aljon Dave, eventually quit the project, but not before he drew a gorgeous - and complete - Chapter 1.

Until now, I’ve never shared this quarter-finished book with the world. Truth be told, I kept hoping the artist would resume production. By the time I realized he wasn’t going to finish, I was sidetracked by other projects.

Since I’m reviving this dream, however, I wish to show you how close we got last time. With some help assembling the art files from David Spearman, here is the best version I can offer.

I hope you enjoy it. And I hope even more strongly that my latest illustration contest yields an even more eye-popping final product.

P.S. Here are a few alternate versions of the final pages. Enjoy.
