Starting a new series just for the fun of it. I love the "A is..." series, and here's my take with my monsters.

#darkart #creepy #horror #drippingskull #nightmare

Dark art poster of a hand that is dripping green acid to form into a skull. There is a note that says that A is for the acid dripping from your fingers. The skull and hand are semi-abstract.

#darkart #originals

A collage of four framed original oil paintings. The frames are black gothic wood and, from left to right, they depict the following scenes: Orange painting of a man holding his face in front of a fire that shows a building burning, 2) The portrait of an old woman with weird tentacle scars behind her ears, 3) Four faces and skulls floating in a see of dark red faces, and 4) a four-winged monster holding a glowing white ball.

From the necromar deck: The arrogance of the Dead Wood race knows no bounds. Yes. They are powerful sorcerers and illusionists. Yes, they are gifted in the ways of understanding how to effectively work with the Path.

#Repostober day 7 - This tarot-inspired design was something I did last year, when I started leaning a bit more into my heavy, line-intensive black and white style.

From the necromar deck: The Felinicus is known as the Hunter in the Dark and a favorite pet among many of the rock elementals who live in caves. These creatures are extremely good at getting rid of vermin and other small animals that lurk around the underground.

From the necromar deck: The behemoth Transport symbiote appears to be a walking suit and not a living being. It is capable of taking control of its host in order to perform procreation and birthing functions.

Happy October! 🎃 Time for some spoopy ink
#darkart #inktober #crown #redart #illustration #skull

Dark art of a skeletal figure wearing a crown sprouting from their own skull. Ribs and spikes give the character an air of horror, as well as being clad in a red light.
