Yashasam - Drowned By Life

I love the artwork you share! I especially like how you are able to put the ideas of "dark" and "beautiful" together without every picture being overly gory, as that's most of what I find.

Hello there! 

Thank you so much for your kind words, that is exactly what I strive to do with this blog. I have noticed the trend in more nightmarish imagery for ‘dark art,’ which is not the aesthetic I enjoy. I admire works that rely more on supernatural and mystical elements rather than the macabre and grotesque.

Anyways, keep on enjoying the art! I’m glad you enjoy my posts here on A.D.B. :)
