Seal in the Kelps

I haven't done any black and white stuff in a long while. So, I thought why not do something simples and since I'm currently reworking one of my webnovels (The Selkies) I thought why now draw a cute seal. I feel quite motivated.

If you people want to check out the old version of the story, you can find it over here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/105557/the-skin-bound-tome-sidestory-the-selkies

Once the reworked version is up, I post the cover with a link to the new one, so keep your eyes open for it <3

Deep Sea Eel - Oil Pastel Portrait

An exploration of fluid movement and raw texture, emerging from the deep.

This oil pastel drawing captures the coiled form and distorted skeletal rhythm of a deep-sea creature.

Layered highlights carve light out of the absolute darkness, focusing on the organic structure and primitive energy of life beneath the surface.

A quiet ink wash landscape inspired by traditional Jiangnan scenery — mist drifting across still water, distant mountains fading into empty space, and a solitary pavilion resting beneath an ancient pine. The soft monochrome brushwork creates a calm meditative atmosphere shaped by silence, reflection, and classic Chinese shanshui aesthetics.

This piece leans into minimalist oriental landscape art, sumi-e textures, and timeless East Asian ink painting composition rather than heavy detail, letting negative space become part of the scenery itself.

I bet poison would work wonders on you...

There is a version of Dolores that exists before the maze, before the revolution, before she learns to question the nature of her world.

This piece was inspired by that fleeting moment: a character who appears at peace with her place in the story, while standing unknowingly at the threshold of transformation. The landscape is familiar, the path is familiar, and yet the first cracks have already begun to form.

What draws me most to Westworld is not the conflict itself, but the quiet realization that precedes it—the instant when a life shaped by repetition begins to seek something beyond the role it was given.

Rendered in black and white, this illustration explores that tension between innocence and awareness, certainty and curiosity, the story we inherit and the story we choose to write for ourselves.
