In my last submission for this challenge I was exploring death and wanted to continue that motif with the Salem witch trials.  Next week’s challenge is: What Lies Beneath. Beneath the skin, beneath the ground, beneath the ______. http://monthoffearart.com/

Serena Malyon “Mirror, Mirror”

5″x7″, watercolor and gouache

For the “Mirror” challenge for Month of Fear 2015

I wanted to explore different facets of a person, through what they may see when they look in the mirror. She looks at herself now and sees vanity and admiration; but if she catches the eye of herself on the right, she’ll be met with disgust and hatred.

Serena Malyon “Wormtongue” Approx. 5″x6″, watercolour and digital

For the “Villains” challenge for Month of Fear 2015

Over the years I’ve regarded The Lord of the Rings’ Grima Wormtongue as one of the most intriguing characters of the series. Grotesque and unloved, weak and cowardly at his core, he betrays his homeland for the promise of power. Upon seeing the Uruk army at Isenguard, a tear runs down his cheek - Is it awe or regret? When he kills Saruman - Is it revenge for how he’s been treated, or is it his attempt at redemption?

So this is my take on Grima Wormtongue. Pathetic and sniveling while dooming the world of men.

I just graduated art school, what do I do?!

“During my art education (which was excellent, thank you ACAD), I got the skills to create compelling illustrations and work with clients. But immediately after I graduated, a panic spread over me….”

This seems like a super helpful game plan for any of my followers who are interested in pursuing art as a career. Check it out! :)

“The Sisters’ Garden” and “The Gatherers”, Serena Malyon 2015

Three sisters live in the woods making potions. Their plot of land is covered in bushes, flowers and weeds, and every morning rare ingredients are delivered by crows. Another small portrait to come soon.

Out of Oxford  -  Serena Malyon

I did this piece out of my love and respect for the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. This piece is for “The Subtle Knife”, and depicts Will, Lyra, the tabby cat and Pantalaimon as they escape from Oxford to  Cittàgazze.
