"Hey you. You sound like someone who needs a new cowl. Here, I found this" "Oh hey... Do I know you?" "Not yet, but I know you. And I know we are going to be best buddies" "Well, that's only slightly creepy. Thanks for the cowl by the way... Wait. Is it my old one I trew away? You fixed it. It's beautiful." "I said I found it. By the way, look at the golden ambroidery in between the drawings. I bet whoever did that spent a lot of time and care on it, and would like to be recognized for it" "I love it" #art #myart #instaart #artoftheday #digital #digitalpainting #digitalart #characterdesign #character #sketch #beast #animal #blackandwhite #bird #crow #raven #troll #hair #forest #fantasy #folklore #fantasyart #fantasyartist #blergh https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnl6fG3nY-5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=um1vh2lw1jgg

Damned be, Instagram's cropping. I had a really long story about this. I prefer to leave it as it is. Openly inspired by a 2000 drawing by Claire Wendling. #art #myart #instaart #artoftheday #digital #digitalpainting #digitalart #characterdesign #character #sketch #beast #beauty #color #colors #beautyandthebeast #symbols #monster #monster #lycanthrope #werewolf #nude #bonding #woman #tits #icytits

A warm-up sketch that I turned out to like. There is a HUGE miniature geek part of me that I am not showing on this account. #art #myart #instaart #artoftheday #digital #digitalpainting #digitalart #characterdesign #character #sketch #scifi #scifiart #warhammer40k #warhammer #illustration #war #space #eldar #autarch #necron #warrior #gamesworkshop

“are you afraid of something?” “not at the moment, no” “then why are you holding that weapon? Put it down, you are going to hurt yourself… or maybe you want to use it on me?” “you can’t kill something dead” “true, you are a clever girl. But I still sense something wrong in you: remember that I am the only one you have left” “that’s what you want me to believe” “but isn’t it right? no one is here for you as I was or I still am. Everybody has left you: you are alone. And that’s because I am not around anymore. Because without me, you are nothing.” “ you made me nothing” “Always blaming others. You say these things and yet I am here, bound by your will, and you do nothing about it. This alone proves I am right” “The spear is for me, old man” “…” “Not today, but one day, I’ll have the strength to offer myself to my own altar. I’ll be born anew, something you didn’t even dare to dream: because I am better than you. Because I recognize my mistakes . That day, your poisoned bones will make nice twigs for my pyre. That day, i will forgive you, and myself.. And then you'll be forgotten.” #art #myart #instaart #artoftheday #digital #digitalpainting #digitalart #bird #creature #monster #mood #blackandwhite #characterdesign #character #eldritch #eldritchhorror #horror #woman #beauty #spear #magic #fantasy #fantasyart #sacrifice

“What do you want now? I don’t need you. You don’t scare me, you are just an annoying, useless piece of shit” “You are right. You don’t need me anymore. But you also know why I am here, and what I am going to say” “Fuck off” “I was right all along” “I said fuck off” “I was right all along, and you didin’t listen to me." “So this is your purpose here? Poking fun at me?” “You begged me for months to talk, and now that I finally do, you only want me to shut up.” “I swear to the gods, I’m going to fucking stab you” “With what? Your sword rests broken in a maze of brambles and lies. You gave away your torc, your own symbol of freedom, for some parfumed air. Look at your arms boy: look at them. You are scarred and wounded. This is what I wanted to avoid you." “You are making this a bigger deal than it is. I know what I got from all those things” “I don’t see it. I just see a defeated and sad little man, moping over his own losses” “I will do everything again. Now, leave me alone” “I am leaving right now. And I know you will do this all over again, and when you do, because you eventually will, I will be there, standing in the shadows of your nest, silently reminding you about all the times this little charade has happened before.” #art #myart #instaart #artoftheday #digital #digitalpainting #digitalart #bird #creature #monster #mood #blackandwhite #characterdesign #character #crow #raven #anthro #spirit #demon #fear #mood #creaturedesign #story

"So, vines, brambles AND a steel fence? If you wanted me outside, you should've told me that, because this is still not enough for me to get the message" #art #myart #instaart #artoftheday #digital #digitalpainting #digitalart #bird #creature #monster #mood #blackandwhite #brambles #thorns #depressingshit #crow #raven #anthro #spirit #dungeonsanddragons

"Fear is a bad bitch. Let's play a scenario here. You are scared of something you have no power over. You can't sleep eat or shit without having this thing staring at you from the corner of your eye. It feeds off of the beauty and love in your life, and if you don't do something, you'll end up with nothing. Eventually you learn to adapt to it, you become less scared of it and more of the actual problem, until you become familiar with it, and you welcome it as an inevitable part of your life. You accept your fear so that it may not control you anymore but instead, you are the one in charge. Then you relax and you think that you are out of trouble, that everything from here on is something you've already experienced. Wrong. Because now that fear is a part of you. And as any other part your inner self, it has to be fed. And god fucking dammit, I'm hungry too" #fantasydigital #digital #art #myart#mood #fantasy #raven #crow #light#magic #blackandwhite #black #emotions #illustration #grey #instaart #wolf
