A winter holiday themed greeting card framed by an art nuevou style border in green and gold with stars. The border is symmetrical and at the very bottom center is a red banner with a single gold, glowing star. Above the banner in an oval frame is a dark blue background with a jovial Peryton leaping with his wings spread. The Peryton is a mix of Bleeding Heart Dove, Muntjac deer, and unicorn with little cloven hooves and a broken horn. #blackskyart #blkskyart #tempusobscura_art #tempusobscurus_art Done in the style of a stained glass window from the Medieval age, a black serpentine hound stands against geometric shapes in yellow, gold, and orange to represent a sky. Curling around the hound is a stylized red ribbon for symbolism, around the beast’s neck is a braided collar with silver coins and a silver clasp. His eyes are red and from his snarling mouth are large teeth. Beneath that are shapes in shades of green to represent grassy hills. The entire illustration area is framed by dark brown line work to imitate the metal in stained glass windows. Below the central image is a smaller rectangle of brown stained glass with the words “Nec Possum Tecum Vivere, Nec Sine Te.” in gold. This is Martial Latin, Epigrams XII, 46; the translating to “I can neither live with you, nor without you.” #tempusobscura_art #tempusobscurus_art An off white background shows two figures at its center. A ghostly black panther fading from solid to see-through and a stark black crow sits upon its back. The panther is staring at the viewer while the crow looks into the distance. At the panther’s front paws is a symbolic glyph. The panther and crow are standing against the setting sun of countless Black lives lost. It sheds a tear of blood that becomes its shadow. #tempusobscura_art #tempusobscurus_art A symmetrical portrait done in a style similar to that of Japanese ukiyo-e paintings. The background is a mix of warm, earthen tones and paper textures with an abstract border. In the center is a red oxen Yokai with multi arms each holding a sacred symbol. #tempusobscura_art #tempusobscurus_art Character belongs to CornyEel

A long, horizontal canvas fading from black to rich shades of red with a sunray pattern in the background. Towards the center left of the canvas is a figure to be Park Seonghwa of the kpop group, Ateez, facing left. He is wearing a decadent black outfit with a swooping hat like Carmen Sandiego, a long cape, and black gloves. In his hand is an old style Korean pipe, the smoke flowing out and to the right to form the words "Main Course". A symmetrical portrait done in a style similar to that of Japanese ukiyo-e paintings. The background is a mix of warm, earthen tones and paper textures with an abstract border. In the center is a red oxen Yokai with multi arms each holding a sacred symbol. Character belongs to CornyEel A vertical canvas shows a desert landscape set against the starry sky of the universe, ebbing and fading with swirls of celestial magic and glowing stardust. At its center born from the tendrils of cascading light is a large white wolf. Her eyes are gold and staring straight forward peacefully, expression docile. Around her floats a halo of gold with a glowing blue snowflake crystal, representing a collar the character wears as an identifier. Character belongs to Field-of-reeds A dark swirling greyish black background surrounds a brightly colored felid character. They a slim, cheetah-esque and sphinx-like with a flowing mane of pastel pink. They are in a leaping pose with two gold spears piercing through the ribcage near and through the heart. The inner feathers of their wings are a radiant shimmer of golden cream, pink, and lavender that match the whole coat on their body. Crowning their head is a simple golden halo, all of which brings the symbolism together of overcoming darkness. Character belongs to poultrymancy

$1 doodle for @sinner.monster! They have been so incredibly patient and I absolutely LOVE these two! ; o ; I can never say no to a whale shark based character, I love them so so much. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! #tempusobscura_art #tempusobscurus_art #commission #BlackskyART
A black line drawing on a grey background featuring two characters interacting. The large humanoid character has a whale tail, clawed feet, and fluffy hair. He has an expression of confusion and frustration as his hands are tangled in purple yarn with two knitting needles and a crochet hook. On top of his head and looking down at him is a gecko-like creature, curious as to what's going on.

#tempusobscura_art #tempusobscurus_art #pet #memorial
An illustration of a star filled sky with a beam of light that shows down upon an emotional scene. A grey tiger sits under a fruiting blueberry bush, tears falling onto the ground by two stones. Under the soil is the skeleton of a dog with colorful roots branching out. In the stomach area a seed in spirit flames glows brightly and represents another pet friend who passed on. [Text] There is a Tiger, small and grey. Who has a Dog that helps every day. Each step was followed by four, Best of friends who ever endured. And day, and night, and in-between; The Dog and Tiger learned to lean. Shoulder to shoulder, uphill and down. Tiger and Dog had no bounds. As time passed on and seasons changed, Dog began to wane with age. Though his eyes and heart were bright, he Could not avoid the mortal plight. For man and beast must meet an end, and The Tiger must say goodbye to their friend. The Dog and Tiger spent their days, playing, Sharing memories, and wondrous ways. But it came time for Dog to pass on, and Tiger was heartbroken. Dog was gone. Dog was cold in earthen form, but beams of sunlight kept memories warm. Where Dog had grown and played with Tiger. Times untouched, ever admired. Tiger grieved, cried, and sobbed. But Dog would make sure Tiger could carry on. And so, with spirit from his grave, he pushed up limbs and dark bluish stains. For what came up was something sustained by memories of good times. And Tiger’s nicknames. Tiger sat in mourning still, tears upon Dog’s grave hill. But when Tiger looked up a smile grew. The skies, not grey; but berry blue. As Dog’s familiar smile shown in the light, And Tiger sat under the blueberry bush’s sight. Just as Dog was sweet and bright, Tiger could openly see the light. Seasons would come, times would pass; But one uncertainty would never last.. Dog was gone from the world around, But his spirit stayed with Tiger with limits Unbound. Dog and Tiger would always be friends, for the love of a service dog never ends.

The image without the poem 💛 #tempusobscura_art #tempusobscurus_art #pet #memorial
A digital illustration of a blue star filled sky centered with a beam of light that shows down upon an emotional scene. A small grey tiger sits beneath a fruiting blueberry bush, tears falling onto the grassy ground marked by two stones as a grave. Beneath the layers of soil and stone is the skeleton of a domestic canine with colorful roots branching out from them. From the abdominal area a seed encased in spirit flames glows brightly and represents another animal friend who has passed on.

Basked in the dim glow of candlelight, tendrils of gold thread and charms hung in the autumn air of the sands. The Harrowmoon season had come as it did each year with cooler winds and darker magic. And it's was during those times that all manner of mischief was afoot. Creatures great and small paid tribute, the Blood Moon above as an ever watchful eye upon the land. In the hushed desert winds of Netzekal drifted an invitation to any that caught sight of the little caravan tent cast in eerie light. For what waited inside was the Wanderlust proprietor and his very, very welcoming reception. "Hm, welcome friend. Don't keep me waiting~" [A sphinx-like creature called an Erezu sits in a sexually inviting pose. He's surrounded by red drapery with candles and a skull of some mythic beast at his feet. In one hand he holds a curved blade as the other spreads open his genitals in invitation to sex acts.] Basked in the dim glow of candlelight, tendrils of gold thread and charms hung in the autumn air of the sands.

The sky is morning twilight with lilac and pink, soft yellow, and faint orange creating a vivid backdrop for the wolf who is silhouetted by rim light. (Character belongs to Snoodles)

A horizontal canvas of starry blue is eclipsed by a giant, cyclopic black rabbit whose form is defined by sketchy static white lines. Their single giant eye's white iris is focused toward the center of the canvas where something is glowing. Surrounding the central glow are a variety of other rabbits, and within the glow is one most special. A dust bunny! The dust bunny is a soft grey with stick figure arms and legs, their hands and feet just simple circles. The cloud shaped puff that forms the body as two ears standing proudly while the bun winks with a big bucktoothed smile and cheer. From all around float small rabbits made of earth and moss, ears alert and curious of the shining star. They are joined by a bright pink bunny with numerous red eyes and bat wings floating in to see the commotion. A bright yellow bun with markings reminiscent of a lemon looks up at the dust bunny with joy and awe, and beside him is a black and white rabbit watching on with a silent smile. To the side of the lemon rabbit is a curious hare with three eyes, completely black and red with a glow and pottery markings. The third eye upon its forehead is looking up at one of the moss rabbits whilst the two eyes stare at the viewer. A vertical canvas showcases an iconography illustration of a bipedal, humanoid monster cradling a swaddled infant. Within the comfort of the blanket is the monster fetus (Reedus Fetus) from P.T./ Silent Hills. The monster holding the fetus wears a dark blue veil with gold trim and small bells, the hood obscuring its face. Both are posed under a golden halo against a dark gray and black patterned background. The figures are surrounded by diamonds of gold suspended on thin lines of varying sizes. A ghostly black panther and crow standing against the setting sun of countless Black lives lost. It sheds a tear of blood that becomes its shadow. A long vertical canvas portrays the endlessness of space as two celestial beings meet at its center. Above, flowing nebulas and stars cascade into bring blues, purples, and pinks onto the body of a little black cat. She is leaping with a paw outstretched to show glowing blue pawpads toward light waves creating a point of convergence. Where her paw touches the surface it is met by the nose of another being beneath the waves and stardust. The creature is leonine in present shape, but is condensed energy reaching to breach the surface. Their body is long and outstretched, the tail disappearing down and deep into the darkness where bubbles and star bits rise. This being's form disappears as the waves, splashes of black and blue backlit white the only visible hint of their presence.
