Feature 215--AuntieRichie

 

To Birth a God

I've never played this Silent Hill but to be tracked down by some insane cult woman trying to make the player (Heather) birth the god the woman's trying to bring to life...Poor Heather! That design on the wall is interesting. Are the barbed wires trying to keep it held in place or is that woman who's chasing Heather going to be trapped by it, maybe?
The characters that AuntieRichie created for this piece look perfect for such a situation, too. Very interesting work!

 

 

The Love Witch

 Fanart of 'The Love Witch'; this woman is Elaine Parks.
As the Love Witch herself, she looks like she's in the middle of casting or creating some spell or potion for someone. If this movie is as campy and silly as AuntieRichie says, it has to be amazing. The cornier is always the better in my opinion.

Lovely piece!

CyberwitcH

An interesting witch here, not having to use her body by any means. And that AuntieRichie isn't sure yet (with this image) how and what she actually behaves yet just makes me more curious. A creature that doesn't have to use her own arms but uses those robotic arms instead; can you imagine coming across her, for worse or better?

The pieces AuntieRichie chose to share for this feature are so interesting! Click here to see more of their work.

Feature 195--Cuestionador

 

Lurking in the Dark

First off, so very much respect for any kind of art like this. Black and White with no shade of grey is so hard to control! Super work with it, Cuestionador!
The monster in the front seems to be daring one to take even one more step forward, with that creature in the back currently busy with what it's working on. Or perhaps the one in front isn't a monster, just someone who had been forced to see so many people ignore them, finally getting the label?

Batman Collage Sketch

In Cuestionador's artist comments, he mentions that this is a homage to "Detective Comics 31 by Sheldon Moldoff". Hasn't he touched on everything just right?
The Mad Monk in the foreground, making tracks away from Batman with his captive. It's not a doubt that he (Batman) is going to spin the Mad Monk in all kinds of circles to get the captive free. In the piece, I can see mountains in front of Batman and the cities in front? Really enjoying looking at this!

Time is Running Out

What looks like an atomic bomb has gone off in the background. How many people alive are as robots while all of this lines up, step by step?
Can we just take a moment to look at that smoke from the bomb? On my first glance, I likened the colors to what we'd see on a weather map, red being the most in danger and the other shades just building up into it! Let's take a look at all the watches too. So many clocks but never enough time...

These pieces are so very cool to get to see. If you'd like to see more of Cuestionador's artwork and collages, his gallery is right here!

Feature 192--GrafvonEichenlaub1

Early 100 years war

This is a nice watercolor painting of the early 100 years war, don't you think? I have an awful time with watercolor myself, so full compliments over how well he controlled it!
I wonder, too, if this was meant to show something of the actual war or if this is something created from his own stories and characters. Either way, the weapons were drawn well and I enjoy the helmets that the soldiers on the ground are wearing. Lovely job!

Demon of castle Houska

This one was drawn for Halloween of 2001 and I can make up all kinds of stories for it!
Is the demon haunting the place or somehow controlled by it? Has he been sent as a punishment to those high living folks in the castle or is he being sent out to see that the royal family inside remains in control?
On that, I do enjoy how dark the castle and the area around is. Of course we'd see the demon in the stark of night while he plans his next move. Such a fun work!

Ritter in Maximilian style Armor

This is a well done bit of armor! And just look at that weapon he seems ready to bring down onto his foe! May his enemy go down quickly.
On top of that, don't you see how well the armor was drawn? None of it is too busy to distract from the next piece we look at; amazing since it's the whole suit of armor. It's amazing work, don't you think!

I really did enjoy featuring these pieces! To see more of GrafvonEichenlaub1's work, here is the link to his gallery. Hope you like it too!

Feature 191--Noorpol

 

This is something that he drew for a friend, didn't he design the foxes super well? Four different poses for how the earth is in rotation of the sun! Brightest during summer and the darkest in what I see as the winder months.
Have to say too that the design of the sun was done super well. It reminds me of something drawn when looking back to previous ages. Love it all, amazing work!

Interesting! To me, it seems like she is putting the fox's face on as if it's a mask. Fits super well with the "Masquerade" title, I think. And isn't the location she's lying in just so amazing in Noorpol's style? I can't tell if I enjoy the skulls or the leaves most.
Is she lying in a bush, or just in a pile of the leaves? And can you see the tiny bird skulls too? How much can stare at her? And they also seem to be pointing, to me. Amazing work!

I personally enjoy this piece but if you are a bit uneasy for a realistically designed baboon's skull and the mentioned torn skin, perhaps you shouldn't click through? It's listed as a horror image on Noorpol's dA, hence the content warning here.

Noorpol has some very intriguing work, I personally loved going through it to set up the feature! To see more yourself, his gallery is here.

Feature 170--JuliaMersmann

 

Lamia

This background is so perfect for some of the images of vampires that I've seen. I wonder how long it took her to make this come out so well? And just take a look at how the lightning from the storm has lit up the floor tiles!
Speaking of light, don't those candles look perfect? Especially how the light from them touches so perfectly on the vampire's dress and the baby's wrap. This whole piece is just gorgeous, definitely one of my favorites!

Flora of the Moon

Interesting piece! It's a Draw Everything June and Julia drew the Moonpresence from Bloodborne. Isn't this just the most interesting pose that this creature could have been drawn in? It looks just as distorted as the game makes it look but I just adore how the moon appears to be something of an egg for the creature; just waiting to hatch.
The tentacles look amazing and it would just be wrong to not mention how well the ribs and spine came out. My eyes keep going toward the creature's feet and claws on the toes. The whole piece is super well done!

Drow me Like a French Girl

It's so fun to see people draw their D&D characters. This one is a Drow who is more than happy to lay out on a comfortable surface and appear so lovely. Why not, right? All of the focus he gets on his bare body while he just gets to lay there in the proper poses!
The darkness of the image does perfectly to help censor certain places and it almost looks natural for how the shadows fit. And then the characters blue eyes just seem to glow with all the candles shining into them...he probably has eyes that glow anyway, to be fair, he's a Drow!

What a fun image to get to end on, right? These pieces are amazing and I truly love her painting style with all of these. If you'd like to see more of JuliaMersmann's artwork, her deviantart gallery is right here. Go check it out!

Feature 169--Musbasement

Gladiator

Musbasement puts a very interesting sentence in the Gladiator's artist comments: "The freedom of the gladiator is covered with mountains of corpses." Doesn't one just have to climb the highest upon all the death he left behind?
But let's now focus on the artwork because I love the way he painted the anatomy here. And the character is so pale too...maybe his amount of killing has almost erased his humanity? It almost seems so with how his face has been so distorted. His honor came at such a price. Was it so worth it, now?

Donna of the Deep

I agree with a comment on this one--it definitely seems like a masterpiece!
This character, whether alive in some undead form or not, fits the scene beautifully. And I really like how it's sitting on what appears to be a long sunken anchor. Look around, too; do you see the eyes that I imagine belong to the rest of the ship's crew when it crashed down to the bottom of the sea.
Can also see it as this one is what fights the ship down into the depths. It would explain why he's sitting in such a commanding pose over everything that's been eaten by the sea plants!

Hakamori

I keep wondering what kinda character this is. Looks like he could be some kind of rogue, to me. One that keeps himself hidden by song and dance. Wouldn't he be something if he were instead a magic user of some degree, too! I could see that stick being used that way, like some kind of staff. Why wouldn't he know how to make it dance with him...maybe that's part of why he's in shadow, too. A more sneaky way to fight or just trap someone if they came to watch his shows?

These pieces are all amazing! To see more of this Musbasement's work, his gallery is right here. Be sure to check the rest out!

Feature 144--IzARTela

Cancer

Always do enjoy someone's interpretation of how the signs of the Zodiac looks. This is great! Cancer definitely works as a ballerina and don't you just love the dress that IzARTela put on her? It's so pretty in those shades of pink.
She was inspired by Art Nouveau style when she designed this. Doesn't it just work for this one? And the change from arms to claws, from the hair to the part of shell on her head, just accents this whole piece. Excellent work!

Le chat avec des fleurs

Eee, this is a ragdoll cat that IzARTela owns. Hasn't she done a beautiful job in painting him? It really does look like you could just run your fingers through this one's fur. And those whiskers are 100% in the position of 'cat who is trying to figure out what their weird twoleg pet is doing'. I love it!
And when you can tear your view away from the cat's adorable blue eyes, aren't the flowers in front designed so perfectly? So very great!

Decay

I was immediately drawn to this piece because of how well it shows its subject. The mask is broken and always worn above the troubles and issues that one may have...is it any wonder that the mask itself might be a bit broken from what all it takes? And I'm fully in love with how IzARTela designed the torso and arms of this character. It just makes me wonder what is being hidden and how long the character has had to pretend to not be what they truly are. Love it!

These three works are amazing! If you'd like to see more, drop by IzARTela's dA gallery! She's done so much work to think about and enjoy. ^^

Feature 129--Forthcracy159

Gutted

I have to give a gore warning since this character had been killed by getting his guts ripped out of him and the ghost drawn shows this wound.
This is the first character that Forthcracy159 shared with me. Other than the wound mentioned, this one is a nazi because he was poor and had to join because his parents adored them? He was killed in a forest by obvious means and now wanders, seeking only a friend to have...

SCP-1968

Someone woke this SCP. Who did it?
They drew this SCP in an interesting way. I think I like the red overlapping the black in this piece, because it's clearly more than just blood here, maybe a kind of oil--look at how it's dolloped all around? Makes me wonder if it maybe had woke to attack other SCPs.

SCP-363

I wondered a second ago if SCP-1968 had woke to then turn on its own kind. What better to hunt and kill off the SCPs that are run by nothing but centipedes? I personally couldn't think of a more deserving kind.
Better to get moving though. SCP-363 seems to be reaching out to grab you while you're distracted...

If you like horror and SCPs, Forthcray159's gallery is the best one to see! I've personally been enjoying all of their artwork, seeing the fright and whatever else has been great.
