Tick, tock, when the Chronomoon shall toll, Tock, tack, the Cuckoo’s flock stirs up!

Tick, tock, the Sicko Cuckoo Clocks, Tock, tack, they bring wrack with every whack!

Tick, tock, everyone will feel the shock, Tock, tack, in the night of their attack!

Tick, tock, it’s the time to bolt the lock, Tock, tick, you must flee their deadly beak!

Tedium withers her soul, sealed in the Cloister of Stillness: Delirium writhes unhinged.

ANGEL’S PLAYGROUND

If your innocuity stat (INN) is too low*, there is a growing chance that at any moment you can be abruptly taken into the Angel’s Playground. Here you are called to play the (almost) impossible game chosen by the “Angel”.

*[Your INN decreases when you become too menacing: by acting maliciously, violently, or by adopting death-bringing instruments]

How to Play Hide and Seek with the “Angel”

The bars will come down, shutting the gate, as soon as the “Angel” starts counting in a mellow, almost choral voice: you now have 999 seconds to find a place to hide in the Playground.

A shrieking shriek announces that the “Angel” has finished counting and is coming for you.

Try to remain hidden or run away and survive for 999 seconds more; then the gate will open and you will be able to escape.

-> If you're caught: you lose. Your INN stat will be reset to zero, but you will lose all the bloodstained items in your inventory and, as an everlasting burden, suffer a permanent malus ([DIGESTED]) due to the trauma of being eaten alive by a seraphic entity.

-> If you successfully escape and win the game: [???]

“Angel”

Once I had a nightmare:

there was an angel,

beautiful and perfect,

yearning to play childish games.

But I could see it was a monster:

a dummy depiction hiding its hatred,

craving to castigate and then digest,

me, for what I had become.

your art is gnarly in the best way. it makes me disturbed and freaked out. ignites that primal need to fight or flight, while also dragging me in with such an intriguing juxtaposition of colours and media. i really can't wait to see what art you'll create next <3

Thank you so much, “gnarly” is such an intriguing word to describe our art!

It’s really cool to read that the works drag you into the scenes and create that kind of visceral reaction

Notes from the Bed Guardian bestiary:

• Lamp Gnawler: a non-hostile wandering entity, endlessly snipping lamps with its toothed scissor-arms while humming incomprehensible lullabies. One bite after another, the street lamps keep falling: the darker the area, the more wretched become the nightmares you must face or escape.

But be aware: if you are ever caught by a Falsum Lumen, the Lamp Gnawler will be mysteriously drawn to you and will rush to cut down your torso, leaving the fake lamp unharmed.

• Falsum Lumens: mimetic predatory creatures that disguise themselves as normal oil lamps. Only their slightly visible red nails and the unnatural cold of their fake flames reveal their true nature. They seize the living beings moving below them, leaving them hanging as an ‘offering’ for the shears of the Lamp Gnawler. In return, they will be left untouched, perhaps these ruthless creatures’ only desire is to survive.

If your body is severed while you are grasped by a Falsum Lumen, your face will become one of the few lamps that still shine along this path…

Your work reminds me of Dave McKean's art for DC Comics/Vertigo! It's very inventive, immersive, moody, and wonderful!

Thank you very much, this is such an enormous compliment and a truly flattering comparison!

How long do your mixed art mediums take?

What you do is super cool btw

Hello! :)

So, the thing is, we are two brothers working together: one focuses on writing and editing, and the other on drawing and clay art, while we share the art direction and most of the creative process

Coordinating the work while having different time schedules and commitments is not always easy, so our creations can take from about a week to more than twenty days! But every time the process, the elements/media and the techniques that we use are different, so there is no a standard duration

Thank you very much for the compliment!
