new year new me
Still from the twilight zone episode Eye of the Beholder (the one where it turns out a normal-looking woman is actually the outlier in a world of hideous pig-like monsters) showing a woman whose head is wholly wrapped in bandages, her hands clutching at the air, as a man stands beside her hospital bed, his face hidden

hush, dear. mother's fighting.
digital illustration of Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine in The Lion in Winter, wearing a red mantle over a red gown, bordered with gold, and gold bracelets. she stands against a red backdrop. a white wimple wraps her stern face. a halo of knives, some pointing out and some pointing in, surrounds her head.

talking about The Bovadium Fragments next time on @bythebywater.bsky.social
Digital illustration of Charon jetting along the River Styx in a boat with an outboard motor (he is represented as a skeletal figure in a black robe with a broad black hat, his eyes glowing yellow/red). The underworld is an orange-lit hellscape. On the shore, by a stone etched with the name of the river, three pale shades wait. Also his boat is called the Hellraiser

Artists, quote with your most detailed art

The Red Lady
Illustration of a figure in red, gold-patterned armor with three legs and three arms. Its head is a gothic spire crawling with vines. It wears a tiger skin as a mantle. One hand holds a sword, one hand holds a spear, and the third holds a dagger. The dagger and the head are both haloed with yellow, red, and purple. From the head of the spear, a red banner spirals around the figure, and tiny white birds flit about its head. All three blades are bloodied, and the spear's tip is buried in the body of a vibrant green dragon-like creature that winds around every edge of the illustration.

hawthorn
illustration of a creature, vaguely humanoid, in a green gown with red sleeves, holding a sword-like weapon. the gown shreds into leaves at every hem, and long spines form a sort of ruff around the neck, which ends in a fire. in front of the fire floats a green mask, split in half down the middle to reveal a flat plaque with an eye engraved on it. leaves drift down around the fire. behind the figure is a halo and a golden sky, honeycombed with faint gold hexagons. the figure stands amid ruins and vines and is framed by a black arch. at the bottom of the arch is the name "hawthorn" in gold gothic lettering
