Reading is Fhtagnmental

A woman with pale skin a greenish tint and green embellishment on her eyelids and lips. She has a short orange-ginger bob haircut and all she's apparently wearing is a heavy necklace chain suspending a large rough-cut green gem in a silvery metal setting. She's holding a heavy-looking leather and metal-bound tome open in one hand at chest height and seems to be pointing out a text with the finger of the other hand. Magical green letters of an unpronounceable language are floating up from the pages of the book, connected to each other and to the necklace gem by rough edged bubbles and umbilici. Her body below where it is occluded by the book shows the progress of the spell being invoked, as she transforms into a writhing mass of warped parts of hideous sea monsters: tentacles, teeth, spikes, claws, grasping mouths, and dead blue unblinking eyes. If you read this far you must agree with me that it is cool and gross.

In celebration of the recent Hunter’s Moon🌙

Cult of Diana Altar Prayer Card

Lunar goddess of the wildnerness,fertility & the hunt, Diana’s Ephesus temple is one of the 7 wonders & her cult is considered almost as old as Rome itself

Might make this a series of all the Orphic hymns

#art 🎨 #pagan

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

It's time for #Drawtober ! Here's my interpretation of 'Candlelit Messenger' 🕯️

#darkart #illustration #folklore

Painting of a giant raven emerging from the mist, claws raised above a candle held by a girl, standing alone in the meadow. The raven's eyes glow the same orange as the flame, a gathering of grey clouds parting to make way for a full moon.

Thank you, I wish it was!! I'm obsessed with hares and their uncanny look 🐇 there was no particular influence though, just wanted to convey a sense of anxiety/restlessness

I yearn to draw more skeletons... most of mine are only skulls! Thank you for this share, I'm going to admire all of the bones 🦴🖤

Digital painting of a pale cloaked figure with a wolf skull for a head, dusty pink butterflies fluttering about. A streak of blood paints the wall behind them, dripping onto red poppies beneath.

Digital painting of a woman gently pressing a deer skull to her cheek. A heart sits above her head, connected to the woman with a dim white halo - roots sprout from the heart, tumbling back down to the earth.

Pen drawing of a hare sitting, head turned to face the viewer, eyes wide. Skulls float around the hare's head, smoky tendrils connecting them in a circle.

Here's some skeleton friends what I've drawn over the recent years

A digital painting of a stately skeleton posing in his dark office. He is wearing a red cloak, grasping it in his shrivelled hand, while his other hand rests on the dark granite slab that forms part of his bony desk. A chandellier made of bones hangs in the background, emitting an eerie green glow. A little clear gem orbit's the skeleton's head. There are notches running down the femur and humerus bones, and silver etchings have been carved into the skull.

A digital painting of a blond knight in dark armour with pointy boots and spiked elbows. She is swinging her sword with a look of fierceness upon her face, her plaited hair sustained on the wind. Her foe, a sword-wielding skeleton, is slashed in twine, pieces flying everywhere. In the far background, an old castle is visible.

A digital painting of the character Vampirella, lying on her stomach with her legs crossed in the air behind her, propped up on her elbows and resting her chin on her interlocked fingers. The colours are warm and orange, with a curious green light coming from the side. There is a red-winged bat perched on Vampirella's head, spreading its wings, and a grinning skull on the ground between Vampirella's elbows. Vampirella appears to be naked.

It's skeleton time! My name is Hampus and I can't stop thinking about skeletons. Let's share dat bony goodness

💀 Post your skeleton art
🦴 Invite your friends, if you want
💀 Be nice to each other
🦴 Posters of genAI will be blocked and possibly lose their IRL skeleton!? 😱

A digital painting of a naked woman kneeling before a gigantic honey-colored flower with a skull in the center. The woman is rendered in shades of purple and red, her head cast back, eyes closed and lips smiling. Her long black hair is flowing down, covering her butt. Her arms are stretched behind her, bent slightly at the elbow. Some joker has written "Skeleton art share" over the picture
