Digital painting of a winged demon, floating above infernal crocodile-looking dragon which is swimming through lava fields. Those are framed by rocks with stairs and smoking pyres in the background. The demon is Astaroth, he has mouths full of sharp teeth in place of eyesockets, horns on his head, black crown and sigil with his symbol and name behind him. In his right hand is a Longinus-look-alike spear with swirling red ribbon around it like a ripped war flag. A demonic viper is slithering around his left hand, crawling from Astaroth's ripped open chest. The whole pose of the demon is slightly reminiscent of a Jesus on a cross. Poster illustration of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust theme. There are two characters portrayed, the vampire Meier Link who is placed in a round window made of bat wing and framed by a castle silouette and D who takes the lower part of the picture. Right part of his body is obstructed by his swirling cape while he is reaching for his sword with his right hand. Final Fantasy 7 fanart illustration in style of ukiyo-e featuring Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine meeting on a snowy backyard. Cid is carrying some pieces of metal he probably found on a scrapyard near Rocket Town.

| Same old oak |

"...but something felt off on this evening stroll. There were spirits looming around the graves."

One more illustration with Beaumont, because the season is absolutely on now.

#darkart
Digital illustration depicting a man dressed in 19th century coat and top hat on a stroll through a graveyard. He is standing next to an old oak, looking up to a raven sitting in it's branches. There are several other birds flying into a purple red sunset. The picture is very moody and ambient. There are also small blue lights above each grave in the background and a thick forest wall.

| Whispers from Beyond | 🕯️

"For him, the house was anything but dark and quiet. From where he stood, he could barely make out the bottom of the stairs, but not from lack of light. Translucent, smoke-like veils swirled around his shaking body, obscuring his vision with each step."

#darkart
Digital illustration of a man in 19th century clothing holding a candle and walking away from group of ghosts who are trying to reach to him and get his attention.

#darkart
Digital illustration of Caim, a bird demon looking like a musketeer with a hat holding a sword in his one feathery hand, standing on hot coals. There is stylized fire burning in the background and a sigil with his symbol and name "camio". Illustration of Stolas, a raven-like creature of Hell, standing on a rock with gold veins and holding a pendulum in his beak over a sigil with his name appearing on a rock ground. Below him are various items displayed: a book of knowledge like alchemy and astronomy. Next to it a mortar with herbs and amethyst vein opening. In the background there are huge astronomical clock of Prague and some star constellations.

"From the soil, ...to the soil." | 🥀

This time the yearly 'Poppies of the Great War' piece is dedicated to the nature's cycle and the fading beauty of it. As well as the soil which welcomed all those who have fallen, to let them bloom again someday at least for a short time.

#history #darkart
Digital illustration of a a WW1 themed vanitas still life with a French helmet full of dirt and three poppies growing out of it, each in a different stage of growth while the one of the top grows through a hole in a head of a skull. There is also a lower jaw bone placed in the dirt among the poppies. The artwork has no background, only plain green-ish blue tones. The roman numbers at the bottom read "1915".

Enchanted Masquerade | 🌙💀

"The ballroom was empty when you arrived, dark and grand
(You entered on your own, no invitation in hand)
(...)
Their empty eyes follow every movement as hastily you try retreat
(It's too late now, too late! they've noticed your deceit)

#darkart #drawtober
Digital illustration of a framed motive on a gradient background. The scene inside the frame seems to be from a ball. There are six people dressed in biedermeier styled clothes. Their heads are chopped off and now floating above their heads looking like skulls surrounded by ectoplasmic goo. They are all looking at the viewer like the party was interrupted. There is a framed mirror on the wall in the back and in the reflection is another scene - with paintings framed in gold aswel but there is blood/paint dripping from it and going down the wall. The scene is very unsettling and atmospheric with tones ranging from brown to red and green.

♦️ THE HIEROPHANT ♦️

"Spiritual wisdom, religious beliefs, conformity, tradition, church institutions, but also challenging the status quo and personal believes often lead by sense of freedom.."

#trigun #legato
Tarot card stylized fanart of Legato Bluesummers from Trigun titled "HIROPHANT". The character is sitting on what seems to be a throne made of rubble but it's actually parts of his iron lady. He is holding a staff with Eye of Michael symbol on top of it in his left hand and the other is being held up in a gesture. Both of his hands are being tied by red strings and his overal posture is reminiscent of a puppet. There is a gate towering above the figure and two SEEDS ships in the far background on both sides of the red gate. There are two skeletons on the ground who look like they died crawling to the throne. The last detail is a blue colored coin snapped into two pieces lying on a ground. The colors of the tarot card (blue, red, white and purple tones) are very vibrant.

And Vincent spent his week with his found family. It went mostly ...well 👍

#vvw2025 #VincentValentine #FF7
Three sketches based on prompts from Vincent Week, a Final Fantasy 7 fan event celebrating Vincent Valentine. First sketch is a shot of Vincent's legs and cape under which Marlene hides and asks Vincent if the monsters are gone. Second sketch is of Vincent peeking out of the tent during sunrise, refusing to leave it. Third sketch is of Vincent without his cape standing in a shallow water of a river. While others in the back (Cloud, Red, Yuffie) seem to enjoy themselves during this bday, Vincent looks puzzled. The bubble on the left belongs to Aerith who expresses her concerns about Vincent liking the beach day at all. Four sketches based on prompts from Vincent Week, a Final Fantasy 7 fan event celebrating Vincent Valentine. First sketch is in style of a black and white photo. Galian Beast sitting on a roof of Shinra Mansion, looking like a gargoyle with the moon in the back. The title reads "Fearsome Guardiand of the Manor!" Second sketch of another photo, this time of Vincent raking fallen autumn leaves in the gardens of the Shinra Mansion. Third sketch is of Vincent sleeping in his coffin and Cait Sith standing impatiently next to it. Tifa's bubble coming from the left reads: "Come on Vincent! You can't hit the coffin after every minor inconvenience..." Fourth sketch is of Vincent with his eyes wides open, looking at his clawed hand, metal shining brightly and nice. Cid's bubble coming from the left reads: "Told you I got the right stuff!" and he is giving him a thumbs up.

| Death comes from the Woods | 💀

I had the privilege to design and make a character sheet for a client who knew exactly what I was about. Thank you again @nuovanestra.bsky.social for entrusting me with Thralbes! 👁️

#darkart #characterdesign
Character sheet for a massive undead monster with stag features towering above a piece of a forest on the left drawing. On the right is a smaller version, a form the entity takes in other times. Third sketch is of the monster standing on his hind legs. Full transcript of the text:"The exact origin of this great beast is unknown, but salvaged records confirm its existence dates as far back as a millennium. Its corrupting nature leads to a scarcity of eyewitness testimony. Nevertheless, I have compiled what descriptions I could from the survivors. Features of the beast vary depending on who is asked. Hunters note its prominent features as similar to a stag, while townsfolk say it bears more resemblance to a wolf."

Digital drawing of a Galian Beast (limit break form of Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy 7), sitting at a table, looking absolutely shocked and stunned while wearing a party hat and a small t-shirt which says "bday boy". There is a small bowl with a tiny cupcake and a candle infront of him.

♦️ THE HIGH PRIESTESS ♦️

"Intuition, sacred knowledge, divine feminity, the subconscious mind but also mysterious secrets, disconnection from intuition, withdrawal and sudden silence..."

#trigun #elendira
Tarot card stylized fanart of Elendira from Trigun titled "High Priestess". The character is standing in the middle in between two giant nails, one black and the other white with hints of pinkish blood at the tips. There are also three tanks (probably containing plants) on both sides and behind Elendira. She is stepping down over what seems to be a pink moon and she is looking quite sassy doing it - slay queen! The colors are very vibrant.

Portrait of an infernal demonic horse creature with horse skulls as shoulderpads and candles mounted on top of them. It's looking at the viewer with it's one eye and smiling while his jaws are sealed by red ribbon. There are two pairs of horse legs peeking from below the tattered cape and in the middle, clawed hands holding a sealed letter. The gesture suggests it's for you... Behind the character are multiple vertical hills with towers pointing to the sky and small windows all over them. The sky is starry and there are two constellations on them (one of them resembles a dragon). The main portrait motive is set in a dark blue gothic frame and two little red winged demons (The Messengers) dance at the bottom of it, bearing a flag with a writing "Candlelit Messenger".

| The Black Wolf of Highever | ⚔️🐺
#dragonage #oc
A tarot illustration inspired by the Knight of Swords, featuring Ulric Cousland (my own customized warrior human noble from Dragon Age Origins) wearing a black armor with black fur. He's facing out of the canvas, determined expression on his face, which is bleeding. (Technically, it's a burn wound from a crazed mage in a Circle, but you know how it is with aesthetics.) He's holding the Summer Sword (originally a greatsword of Loghain's most loyal lieutenant and a sword he punished Loghain with, I just added the little thorns/teeth on the blade, bc again. *Aesthetics*). In his damaged ear, he's wearing an earring Zevran gave him. 'It's the one thing that will make this side of me handsome,' he said upon receiving it. He's surrounded by a pack of dark wolves. All of the characters have yellow/golden eyes, matching the leaves of the birches in the background.
