normal girl on a normal date :]

notes below the cut !!

the wrinkles on charity's shirt and the curls of her hair were initially intended to evoke her prey's spilled guts, but that kinda went out the window when i watched a couple field dressing videos n realised what guts actually look like

that being said. the anatomy of the carcass is complete bullshit

the victim's hands show hyperkeratosis, as a partial transformation into hooves. maybe this quarry didn't last long enough to fully transform

dont look at the trees they suck. im gonna do some environment studies i promise

charity camouflaging wasn't intentional - these are just the colours she wears in my head - but i think it works out pretty nicely

the speedpaint of this was around 22k sheets, so 22k individual brushstrokes. i usually to 10-13 per painting. what happened

tried my hand at illuminating them verses since i got new pens! enjoy my fuckass inking. closeups under the cut

I have one light hearted complaint for the silmarillion fandom and that is that we don’t draw characters with hair coverings often enough.

I used to do metal work and if you don’t cover your hair you’ll absolutely set it on fire at least a little at some point. also if you’re doing dusty work with wood or stone or anything like that covering your hair to keep the dust out of it is a win

Do you ever just think about Fingon? I do. I think about him a lot.

A hero prince, and a king who should have left the heroics to those who could afford to die. Common theme with Noldor kings, actually.

final reunions - and final partings.

another crab angel based off a box crab

Carson: Are you sure, though, Shrue? I mean, how can you be certain that you had a family before last week, when Val invented them for you?

oh boy I’ve got a lot of them but here are some of my favs

Im not all that witty. I was just going to see if I could push you off the roof

And if I don’t get lucky at least I get to die on my own terms. Alone and spiteful

My name is carpenter and I am still alive

I think you may have misunderstood something fundamental about hostage-taking. Hey, it’s the way it was taught to me.

Oh, I don’t know. A prophet of her people, maybe? Good people. The god doesn’t matter, the god’s just her way of telling the story.

That’s what it means to have a sibling, isn’t it? You learn new ways to love and to hate someone.

It’s a gift that’s given and asks nothing in return. A joy with no conditions.

My time with you, that was a gift. Hearing your voice again now when I never thought I would - that’s another gift.

Watching you walk away like this, that’s the greatest gift I could ever ask for, because I get to die knowing you got further than me. So please, Paige. Keep on walking. Walk on until you’re lost to me.

And before she died...she remembered who she was

Fuck it. This one’s not…for any of you. This one’s for me.

But no matter how it starts, no matter how it all turns out for us - it can still end with love. Can’t it?

…well, the river is vast, and no dam can block every channel, and ours is a world of miracles.

Has Faulkner told you how much your God loves me?

If our words and stories sustain them, let us fall silent.

there’s definitely other quotes I can’t think of right now

silt verses enjoyers…. what are some of your favorite quotes… asking for research purposes….

I’ll probably do the rest of the seven in limited palettes for funsies

paige val and faulkner as the death tarot card! click on each individual one for better quality. speedpaint notes etc under the cut

first off you need to look at the water in the background of faulkner's one

chose the death crad bc death card is abt transformation and big changes and yk. death, which really works with these, the changing for your god trio. every god's a god of death etc

paige has hands and plants growing at her feet bc she has achieved the whole better things will grow thing, but through bloodshed

paige and val are night and day for narrative foil purposes. also their respective light sources are on opposite sides

val is holding a white bloodstained flag to symbolise her attempt at making the cls into something better. the white flag is a declaration of peace and the blood represents everyone shes killed along the way.

the words making up the bridle of the horse show how val uses words as a means of control

faulkner is upside down bc upside down tarot cards mean the opposite of what the upright meaning is, hence signaling his inability and averseness to change

the withermark parallels the curve of the scythe hes holding to show its a weapon of destruction

faulkner is also semi transparent to show his lack of personhood and vessel for your god stuff

val has blood on her hands bc shes actively killed people. paige has blood on her scythe bc though she has not directly killed anyone her god sure has. faulkner is bloodless bc he cant face up to the people hes killed

they all have halos somewhat distorting their faces to show how religion has distorted their identity

yea i think thats it. pointing emoji watch my speedpaint

I had a lot of fun embedding the parallel motifs!! PLEASE take a look at the details across both works they are meant to be viewed in parallel.

Notes on this work beneath the cut.

Artwork inspired by a headcanon that Em used to braid his sister's hair until he could no longer do so without seeing the shadows of the children he has sacrificed.

Pretty much every parallel motif in this drawing can be read as symbolism!!

Clip Studio Support is taking forever to tell me if there is any rescuing of the timelapse I recorded...

Thank you very much for the advice on dead people @spectralanomally !!!

a hermit crab angel

roakes sentinel has been on my mind for months now, im SO HAPPY to finally have it drawn out !!! prelim sketches + notes below the cut :]

i think it's pretty obvious, but this was very much informed by the dog thing from The Thing. Rob Bottin is a huge inspiration to me in terms of body horror

the crab and dogs arent based on any specific species or breed. that's the problem with dogs and crabs -- theyre so diverse, you can't draw them generic without making them look a little weird in one way or another. and then that means picking a specific species or breed, which invites speculation as to why, which means it has to be done with symbolism in mind, and sometimes i just wanna paint a big scary monster with nothing else to it, yknow?

the dogs are (in canon) embedded in the shell, which i forgot about when i was envisioning the sentinel to begin with. thank god for artistic license !! sorry jon ware my crab now

one of the great eels from @eelerschoice

it’s a combination of a conger eel and a minke whale

yet another galadriel drawing

I started doing digital art recently and knew I just had to draw her

pov your friend just got ritual sacrificed and you're trying to have a moment but your inner monologue gets interrutped by an unhinged twink trying to add grand theft auto to his list of crimes

she’s just like me for real

Victory in Glottage

mfw intimacy and violence are so intertwined they practically become one

reference and details below !!

i love wet drapery gah!!

just listened to the @eelerschoice bonus episode about eel history and drew a european eel

seriously go listen to their podcast if you haven’t it’s sooo good

happy sibling rane saturday! remember to be nothing more than a reflection to your cult leader

I meant to keep up with sibling rane saturday but when I went to draw them i promptly blacked out and drew sister thurrocks instead
