🩸💔The Bloody Bride💔🩸

A bride in a white dress stands looking out a stone arch at a red moon while holding a bloodied knife. Her hands and hair are red with blood. The bottom of dress descends into a puddle of blood dripping off the steps.

An illustration featuring the original characters Daniel and Quena. Daniel is a green-eyed blond who glances at the viewer with a sly smirk. Quena presses close to him and smiles with her sharp teeth. Her hair is a deep sapphire-emerald shade, and her gaze is demonic.

Earlier last year I had the honor of working with Sterling Ethos on an illustrated fae compendium written by folklorists Brittany Warman and Sara Cleto. The book won’t be available until next year, but here’s a little sneak peek of the image I painted for the cover! ✨

Use only ONE piece of art to convince folks to follow you 🌼
A digitally painted comic book cover, depicting... well, it's kind of hard to describe. There are two giant flower-shaped creatures, with green faces encircled by pink petals. Their necks are like ribbed, green stalks, twisting into a pinkish-orange void. Two green hands, on similar stalks, reach into the face of one of the creatures, tugging at its lips and eyelids. The other creature, which has a dandelion in place of one eye, has its mouth open, extending a long, yellow, dripping tongue. A white little point sits at the tongue, and pink smoke is emitting from it. The two creatures appear to be superimposed in the sky above a dark suburban residence, flanked by leafy trees. Tentacle-like limbs slither around the building.

The illustration of the knight standing in the garden and surrounded by roses. There is a cut on knights head so we can see that her brain is infected by the plant with berries as eyes that grows inside.

The image shows a stylized portrait rendered in a bright neon palette with shades of purple, blue, and pink. The central figure is a person with soft facial features and short dark hair styled in a fashionable hairstyle with long strands in front. Ring earrings are visible on the ears. The face is illuminated by contrasting light: one half is bathed in a cool blue glow, the other in a warm light.

do you ever think abt big nose 4 big nose couples bumping into each other constantly whenever they kiss, bc i do

#ocsky
a sketchy sequential painting of my characters Bastien and Wolfgang leaning into a kiss from 2023. the colors get warmer and more saturated with progression of the kiss. the first panel is focused on their eye contact, brown eyes locked with pale blue. second panel is Wolfgang with green hair leaning in to kiss Bastien for the first time, their eyes are closed and they are holding the nape of his neck with both hands. Bastien's eyes are open, half lidded and looking at Wolfgang, searching. in the last panel both their eyes are closed, brows furrowed, as they lean further into the kiss and into the feeling.

Portrait illustration commission 🫶🏻 (@/mjoseph109 on vgen)

#art #illustration #commission #darkart #darkfantasy #vgen
Portrait illustration of an original character owned by client. The overall mood reminds the one of a renaissance painting, and the mood appears heavy. The character has white dreadlocks tied up in a clean hairstyle. He has dark skin and wears a light blue armour filled with golden details. He has a somber expression on his face, looking downwards as he's resigned to his fate, represented by the hands of his old father that is putting a bloody crown on his head. The crown is golden with lots of stones in it, and it's stained with blood representing the guilt and the violence of the kings action.

Unwanted Visitor, the second instalment in my series of four-page horror comics.

Enjoy! 👻

#comics, #art, #horror, #DarkArt
A black and white comic. Page 1 of 4: The first panel depicts a garden in front of a brick house. There is a metal railing outside the house, possibly blocking off some stairs leading underground. A couple of basement windows further indicate that we are looking at the outdoor entrance to a basement. A round little woman with glasses and tiny feet – the landlady – is guiding a tall, lanky male-presenting teenager with a sports bag over their shoulder across the yard. The landlady speaks: “I keep the lawn mowed, but you will shovel your own snow in winter. Bad back, you see. The stairs. Keep them clean, watch yourself.” Along the bottom of the panel, the title “Unwanted Visitor” appears. In the next couple of panels, the landlady shows the teenager into a basement apartment, with a black and white chequered floor and sparse furniture. The teenager looks unimpressed as the landlady goes on: “Kitchenette, bathroom. Keep the window open while you cook. Grease is a terrible thing. There’s a scraper in the shower – use it. Mold is also a terrible thing. No parties, no guests, no girlfriends, no noise.” The teenager begins to speak: “What about…” The landlady interrupts: “Do not use the phone jack. My sick old mother must be able to reach me when I’m at work.” In the next panel, the teenager points to the far wall of the room, where a door can be seen behind a curtain. “What’s with the door?” the teenager asks. The landlady responds from off-panel: “That leads to my part of the house. It will be kept locked. From my side, of course.” Next, landlady holds up the curtain, gesturing toward it as the teenager looks annoyed. “Doesn’t feel very private,” says the teenager. “Sure it does,” says the landlady. “There’s a curtain. I need emergency access. Fires are a terrible thing.” “What about the front door?” says the teenager. “Right,” says the landlady, handing over a set of keys, shown in closeup. “You will make no copies of this. Enjoy your studies.” Page 2 of 4: There are four similar panels in a 2x2 grid, depicting the teenager from before in closeup, apparently seen through a bathroom mirror. In the first panel, the teenager is applying mascara to their eyelashes. A hissing sound effect, represented by a slithering trail of the letter “H”, emerges from the background and carries through the next two panels. The teenager thinks: “Two months and I still can’t get used to that smell. Must be the plumbing. And that hissing sound… the pipes? Or is an animal dying in the wall?” The teenager, now wearing lipstick, roughs up their hair, making a pouty face at the mirror and looking fabulous. They wipe the lipstick off on their arm, glancing over their shoulder. The teenager thinks: “Maybe there really is a mold p…” but is interrupted by a slamming sound from off-panel. “Who’s there?” the teenager asks. In the next panel, the teenager looks out from the bathroom, appearing as a dark silhouette with the whites of their eyes showing. The next panel reveals the main room, where the curtain in front of the door is sustained on the air, as if the door had just slammed shut. The final panel depicts a keyhole, seen up close, and through it we see the foot-end of a bed, where two large, wiry feet are resting. Page 3 of 4: The teenager is standing close to the viewer, their back turned. We are outside in the garden. A garden wall separates the lawn from the street, where an old car is parked. The landlady, now wearing a coat, is making her way toward the car, away from the teenager. “Ridiculous,” she says, “I’ve told you, that door is locked.” The teenager replies: “From your side, yes. But…” The landlady interrupts: “Are you suggesting, that my poor old mother, who can barely go to the toilet by herself, is sneaking into your room?” We see a closeup of the landlady’s face, as she rolls her eyes. In the background, the teenager throws out their hands. “Well somebody is!” says the teenager. “Preposterous,” replies the landlady. The teenager goes on: “And that’s not all.” Next, we see three panels in sequence with rounded corners, suggesting a memory or flashback. In the first panel, the teenager is rummaging through a bag of toiletries. Their dialogue continues over the scene: “Some of my toiletries have gone missing.” Next, the teenager is in bed, clasping their face in apparent fear, one eye showing between the fingers. The background is a pattern of concentric circles. The dialogue continues: “I hear creaking and hissing at night.” Next, the teenager’s frowning face is seen in profile as they survey the contents of a pot of butter. The dialogue continues: “And the other day, I found traces in my butter. Like from fingers.” Back in the garden, the landlady raises a warning finger at the teenager. “I’ve heard just about all I can take,” says the landlady. The teenager tries to protest: “But…” and the landlady continues: “I’m late for my night shift. This discussion is over.” The landlady looks over her shoulder with a strangely smug expression. “There have been no unwanted visitors in that apartment,” she says. “Unless you invited them yourself. Have you been doing something you shouldn’t?” The teenager scratches their head as the car drives away. Page 4 of 4: The teenager is brushing their teeth, glancing anxiously over their shoulder at the dark room behind them. The teenager thinks: “I am not spending another school year in this place. Hopefully I can get something new after summer.” The hissing sound effect from earlier returns, slithering out of the darkness and carrying across the next several panels, as we see the teenager lying in bed, eyes pinched shut, trying to sleep, a wedge of light falling across their head and shoulders. “There’s that noise again,” the teenager thinks. “Like a hissing pipe. And that smell. What is that?” The teenager, in closeup, opens one eye, peeking to the side. In the next panel, they sit up, seen from behind, looking toward the curtain and the door behind it. The hissing sound effects slithers toward the curtain, pointing our direction there. Two long, nasty-looking feet are standing behind the curtain on the chequered floor. The teenager’s terrified eye appears in closeup, menaced by wriggling bolts on all sides. We get a closer look at the big, nasty feet behind the curtain, toes long with long, broken toenails. The comic ends here.

A woman with pale skin, white hair in two braids, and delicate gold tattoo on her face floats in the night sky with a full moon and starry sky behind her. She is wearing a thigh length purple dress with long sweeping sleeves. There are glowing blue lines etched on the fabric of the dress, and two ribbons of light with geometric patterns are trailing behind her. A ring of magic with glowing orbs is circling around her as she floats. Commission work done for YeetMaur A dark skinned man with dark brown hair and a beard framing his jaw, dressed in a white robe and dark brown pants crouches with one hand on the ground as he swings at demons with his katana. The enemy demons are dressed in red rusting armor that looks worn and damaged. The scene is set in a bamboo forest with a path cutting through it, red banners on either side of the road. It appears to be in the afternoon, with a rich orange glow streaming in between the bamboo. A man sits in his study, contemplating a dark, box shaped artifact, while a dark spirit looms behind him. This was a commission work done for JacenLandry

Thank you for the share!
I'm Silvi and here are some of the recent items I drew for Huevember!
A thick spellbook capable of summoning crystal weapons of various shapes, ready to be thrown or used in battle. Design for a shield with powers of creating ice barriers with a symbol embossed on it. A design for a sextant made of blue-ish metal with small shimmer of stars on it capable of revealing secrets and dispelling illusions. Elven sword with ice powers and a scabbard made from furs. The blade can shatter any other that clashes with it and can summon freezing gusts of wind.
