She woke up in the middle of the night. Heart was beating fast and violently.

It was just a dream… Everything was okay… She looked around at her room, lit up by the moonlight. A broken branch barely hanging on to the tree was knocking onto the glass of her open window, that must have been the sound that woke her up.

She got up from her bed to close it, wondering why she can’t remember opening it before she went to bed… or what could have broken the branch… has there been a storm? But the window got closed and the noise was cancelled so she went back to her bed, the comfort of her oversized pillow and fluffy quilt.

The open window had let in some cold air so it was a priority to get her feet off the freezing wooden floor. Who knew summer nights could get this cold?

Once again buried in her bed, she closed her eyes to get some sleep but in her direct sight was the mirror on her desk, right on the other side of the room. It had almost looked for a second like something had moved past in the reflection. A hand maybe. Going up.

Was her mind playing her a prank or was it simply her own shadow she had seen? No. She was already in bed, her shadow couldn’t have moved. A fly maybe? Just passing by?

Turning around to turn her back to the mirror and to face the wall instead, she stopped halfway. Freezed from fear. Every muscle tensing, catching her breath and ceasing her to keep moving. She didn’t dare to look away.

Its body was grey, matching that off the roof with a hint of white-ish pink, like that of a corpse. The body was slender, the legs shaped in a way impossible for legs to move, like inverted knees leading to oversized worn out feet. The nails on the hands and feet were all broken. The body was slender, the spine was clear and dominant, leading to a neck that was off a worm. As it was fat and waving and never quite led to a head. It was simply leading to an end where a skull was hinted at through the stretching of the skin. With two eye-pockets, deep enough for pitch darkness with two eyes in the end, like glass trying to reflect off light from the bottom of a lake. And it lacked a mouth, or at least an opening in the skin as the skull had clearly an open jaw with teeth.

But it wasn’t how it looked that stopped her. It was the eerie sound it made. The mix of a being reaching for air combined with the loud sound of an alarm.

It was getting louder and louder, less natural for each second…

The sun rose and her mother had prepared breakfast and was heading up to her room to wake her up, assuming by the empty bed that she must have woken up early and already headed out.

Originally planed some Allay from Minecraft but wasn't happy with the design so asked friends and family for characters.

Original idea by mcapriglioneart

Probably been a year now since I played… I kinda miss it. Any other games I should destroy? Tetris?

Late 4/4-celebration

Just wanted to share the WiP on my latest project, a little collage celebrating The Fantastic Four

Hope it doesn't look as awkward once the rest of the work is finished

But the FF has a special place in my heart, I have loved them as long as I have loved comics and so excitied for them to return to the cinemas

To make sure it doesn't get to much of the same things, name the next thing I should draw from. You could just name the francise and I can pull one of my hundred ideas from my notes. You could name a specific character I maybe haven't done in a while. You could dare to say something new and hope I know what it is!

Butterflies and Ladybugs

Another thing I have wanting to do for ages and finally got the time was to redraw this a little bit.

Max’s and Chloe’s pose felt awkward and poorly drawn and didn’t match the vibe of the game I realised so kind tried to just draw them hanging out. Less action-game, more life-game.

Not that this is 10/10, there’s a giant gap in the picture but a step in the right direction

Not super satisfied. Might be in a creative low. Been a lot to adjust to my new job. Might find my voice not too far off in the future again.

But I shared a vote and like everyone got a vote each so guess I just made them in the order I saw the comments.

Idk, in my head, I think I pictured this a little bit more colorful but when it came to coloring and shading, I didn’t really know where I was going with it and just tried to save myself. Just forgot for a minute how I used to add light so that was a journey.

But yeah… something about being somebody’s light in the dark. Go and try that. And I will try not to drop the apples all over the floor today.

I work in a grocery store now. Yay.

85 Years of Ideas

The idea started as an interest 3 years ago to an Alex Ross-inspired piece, all these characters posing for the camera in front of a blank background. And it was something I worked on on and off again and rebooted as many times til I learned the lack of motivation was lack of originality. So I redrew the idea. 85 years of history, 85 characters, in one piece. Comic book-events and milestones. The literal birth of the universe till today. Starting of meta with a mix of Celestials and Galactus, present at the birth of the current universe, alongside the World War II-veterans starting the company. Paying respect to all parts of the evolution; Nick Fury’s war-stories, Hellcat’s romantic adventures, Groot’s Sci-Fi-Horror, Fantastic Four’s rebirth of the Superhero-comic. In the centre, we have what I consider the big three of Marvel’s early days. The man out of time, Captain America connecting the past to the modern day. The first family, Fantastic Four showing a new kind of storytelling and the first solo teenage-superhero and poster-boy Spider-Man leading the future. And around them, everything. The wasteness of the Marvel Universe has space for multiple religions, Asgardian, Greece, Jewish and Egyptian. All kinds of superheroes, from the self-made suits of armors, spies and soldiers, to the science-experiments gone wrong and the naturally gifted children of the atom. We have representatives of the mechanical as well as the mystic arts, the Kree-Skrull-wars, the Inhumans, the afterlives.

And references. The tears of an android, Spidey’s strength to fight when there seems to be no chance, Days of Future Past that would forever haunt them thereafter, the Death of Captain Marvel and Night Gwen Stacy Died changing comics forever. The Infinity Gauntlet inspiring the cinematic universe, House of M increasing the mutant-population and lastly Secret Wars bringing a new generation of young heroes forth and centre.
