digital black and white ink illustration, title at bottom: Ungrounded. A humanoid facing the viewer has a black hole for a face/head. Multiple hands surround and reach into the hole, pulling back in a radius. the hands turn into wavy roots or vines that extend out past the edges of the canvas. two arms embedded with roots grab the bottom of the "face" in a pose like they are reaching up and pulling down on the face, and their shape creates an upside down V that fills the bottom of the canvas. Any empty space not filled with roots or hands or arms is a chaotic, scribbled black. More singular roots come out from behind the bottom hands and curve down to disappear beyond the bottom of the canvas. the entire piece is shaded with extremely fine, detailed hatching and stippling.

Digital color illustration, title at bottom: The Split. In the foreground is a horse from the neck up in distress. Multiple human hands and fingers are pushing and pulling their way out of its mouth while a stream of black fluid pours over its head, streaming into and from its eyes and dripping down off the canvas. The background is completely taken up by a flat mass of gnarled, twisting roots that converge with scaly flesh on a single enormous eye with a horse's pupil, which is looking at the horse.

Digital color illustration in warm to purple tones. Title at bottom reads: Unfettered. The entire canvas is filled with massively long, undulating strands of hair, generally flowing from top left to lower right. An equine creature jumps up and away from the mass, some hair strands twisting and flowing around and from it. Its long neck is made up of smaller twisting hair strands, and more hair flows from its head, withers, and fetlocks. Its face is a smooth full-face mask shaped to fit a human's face. The center of the mask is mostly covered by a large, sideways simplistic eye with a pinpoint pupil looking forward.

digital greyscale illustration. title at bottom: The Pit Guardian. a very small silhouetted person stands toward the bottom left of canvas, looking up at an immense being in front of them. the being has emerged from a large black pit in the ground. it is mostly comprised of long, waving vines that turn into masses of hair at its bottom. its head is a horse skull, and it is looking straight down at the person. located around where its "chest" is, is a black hole, which the vines curve around to create its shape. the background is mostly featureless grey, with some distant grey mountains.

right-facing horse skulls

#art

Digital illustration in flat, muted, cool earthy tones, in portrait orientation. A six-limbed being comprised of gnarled, twisted vines and roots has a horse skull head. The vines/roots are attached to its arms as if the arms are growing from them. It is in a forested body of water with its head leaning out and over. Black viscous fluid flows from the cavity in its nose down into a mass on top of the water. The piece is not shaded, using intricate line work and flat colors to show depth.

Digital black and white ink illustration in portrait orientation. The subject is a humanoid creature shown from the waist up, with at least 6 arms and a horse skull head on a long neck of stylized plant roots. More hands and arms are emerging from its expansive, twisting and tearing flesh to cover most of the lower half of the canvas. All of the hands are grabbing and reaching out as if in crisis. A large, deep hole is in its upper chest, torn flesh as its border. The piece is shaded using extensive, precise crosshatching.

Digital color illustration in portrait orientation, in aquas, blues, and purples. A humanoid being with four arms and two legs is on hands and knees. They have a horse skull for a head. They have flesh-like branches coming out of their body and chest, extending out beyond the edges of the canvas. Their head is lifted up with their mouth open, and intricate chained necklaces are hanging from their jaws and head. They are kneeling on an endless bed of roots.

Digital black and white line work illustration in portrait orientation. A horse-skull-headed entity with four 6-fingered limbs pulls fistfuls of long strands of hair out of the skull and around the lower jaw, as the skull's mouth is pulled unnaturally wide open. The entity is covered and surrounded by more long strands of hair. The background is filled with long overlapping strands of hair.

digital black and white illustration, title at bottom: the wraith from the pit. The entire piece is intricately inked and uses fine crosshatching throughout. A portrait of a humanoid figure sitting still. They are wearing some form of draping cloth and a decorative scale mail armor piece over their shoulders. The top of their head becomes slightly curved, smooth spines or horns starting at the forehead. Two large masses of smooth, wavy antlers grow out of the figure's eye sockets. Their hands are held out in front of them, holding a bowl. Twisting vines emerge from the bowl and climb all over the figure, some going into/from the eye sockets as well. A couple vines are twisted around the figure's neck, and one emerges from their closed lips. The antlers, scale mail, and face are unshaded, just solid white. The background is solid black with a large symbol fine-lined in grey covering half of the canvas. The symbol looks like a simplified variation of classic alchemical circles.

Day 9 for #repostober (I skipped some days)

This weird one is based off a dream someone had. They said the figure had deer horns & glowing eyes but didn’t have an evil vibe. Art was done in with graphite & charcoal powder + digital cols.
