Evasive manoeuvres

An illustration I did for this year’s artfight. Enjoyed the freedom to experiment with this one.

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

💀The Ghostly Galliard💀

An illustration of two lesbian ghosts dancing. The left hand ghost wears a 1760s silk sack gown, the right hand wears an early 1500s style gown with puffed sleeves and a short cape with feathered beret. They are both blue and translucent.

They are in a heavily wooded and overgrown graveyard, a lone candle burning with a blue flame sits on top of a slab grave beneath them.

The illustrated border shows as follows: On top, clasping carved stone hands emerging from yew branches with berries. To the sides: tin lanterns with candles burning, carved stone hourglasses & carved stone broken columns. Beneath: Vaults based upon the Circle of Lebanon at Highgate Cemetery flanked by trees.

it'd be nice to see a bit more spread from the sfw crowd on the paypro call campaign situation.

mastercard, visa, paypal and stripe making moral calls on what you're allowed to buy is a dangerous precedent.

if you can help out, it'd be great.

This was a fun design to try work out. Steve came in wanting to complete the top of his sleeve he'd started a long time ago, and wanted to try something different whilst still connecting to the old tribal tattoo below. So we came up with a fierce stylised dragon surrounded by chunky black flames.

Illustrative tattoo of a red eyed dragon with bold black flames framing it.

Sharp tongue

A dragon head descends from darkness, smoke trailing from its open mouth. A multitude of hands reach from its throat, almost like a tongue, together they grasp the hilt of a gold, shining sword.
