[ sing, o muse, of achilles' ruinous anger ]

⚰️ achilles / skippy / casket
⚰️ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ he/him like an inanimate object
⚰️ 28 y/o
⚰️ oc artist
⚰️ ttrpg enthusiast
⚰️ ask me about snapping turtles

example of my art: half-body portrait of oc devereaux. a delicate-bodied guy in his mid-twenties with fluffy hair that falls in front of his eyes a little bit. he has a dark expression on his face, most of which is hidden either behind shadow or behind his square-framed glasses. he wears a cloak with a hood, tied in the front with a big bow. the bow has a hexagonal pin in the center. he cradles a very large tome in one arm, its cover features an upside-down deer skull, and its spine says the name "FAHRENHEIT". the entire illustration is done in a limited palette of near-black, dark teal, a lighter teal, and a bright orange to create tension.

example of my art: a traditional marker drawing of two of my ocs, saignée on the left, and melantha-lucille on the right. saignée is pale and wearing white and grey robes with a rose theme. he has a black visor over her eyes as well as black horns and red bunny ears that resemble flower petals. she has robotic legs which are also red, and a long fluffy white tail. melantha-lucille is darker-skinned with long and straight deep-purple hair. she wears a much more futuristic, sleek style robe in black and teal. she has robotic blue and white wolf ears and tiny floating angel wings. she wears knee-high black boots with teal accents. her arms have imagery of city skylines.

example of my art: photo of a traditional ink painting of my oc merlin. it is monochromatic with a blue accent colour. merlin is floating with a strained look on his face. there are watery, wavy blue lines in the background

verrot, a dark skinned native elf, kneels in the center of a composition. he holds his violin. a series of images surround him ; one wher he is a teenager playing the piano. another where he lurks in a grave yard. a slice of birthday cake moulders in the frame.

Illustration of Mary, Maria, and monster Mary from silent hill 2 - they're all in contained rectangular shapes. Maria is upside down in a cage, mary is just her clothes rotting on a bed, and monster mary is shown as herself.

OCtober Day 10: Symbolism and themes
🐟 Marlene is associated with fishes, cinnabar moths, sea snakes, and foxgloves. Especially the latter 2, given her poison powers.

She also has ocean theming as she was born there + has an affinity for the sea :0

Art of Marlene, holding a mercury blob in her hands. She’s framed by foxgloves, sea snakes, fish and a cinnabar moth. The background is a deep blue ocean.
