I am building my own world 💀🥩🦷 Dark Fantasy Body Horror with plants and ruins QRP with your world

An ink and watercolour illustration of two characters hiding behind a large tombstone looking carved structure as a huge creature looms overhead.

A digital sketch of a grosteque creature made up of various body parts crawling out of an area marked with gravestones. A tree with a human skeleton embedded into it grows in the background behind the creature.

Ink and watercolour painting of a woman encased in a large "suit" made of flesh and bones. She is holding a large scythe made of bone, rock, and wood as well as an ornate glowing lantern. She stands in front of a large stone medallion with symbols and a serpent carved into it, suspended by a mass of tree branches.

A digital sketch of a young woman standing on the shoulder of a massive eyeless creature.

Meet Joy, my most loyal companion. While I’m painting, she’s usually sleeping — Just warmth, calm, and the sound of brushes moving. Maybe she’s the real artist here. #JoyTheBulldog #StudioLife #ArtistCompanion #DogsofBluesky #art #darkfantasy #dog #dogs

⟡ They call it The Mycaryon. No one knows if it was born of the earth… Its flesh is neither beast nor bloom — a decaying prayer, whispered by roots and bone. It feeds on memory. Each step erases a dream... ⟡ #art #drawing #blackbooksky #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite #blacksky

❖The pencil is a gentle blade. It doesn’t cut — it digs. Each line searches for the fracture beneath the skin of the world. In the silence of paper, I hear the matter resisting.❖ #art #drawing #darkart #blackbooksky #art #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite

⟡ I’m not looking for followers. I’m looking for witnesses. Every line, every shadow, is a fight against oblivion. Those who stay here don’t look at drawings. They watch a crossing. ⟡ ⸻ #art #darkart #drawing #artistonbluesky #gaelricci #artoftheday #mysticart #discipline #fineart #visionaryart

✶ She carries the forest within her armor. Fungi bloom where faith once stood. The bird remembers what the body forgot. And somewhere beyond the mist, the mountain still waits for her return. ✶ #blacksky #blackbooksky #oilpainting #darkart #darkfantasy #art #artcommissions

The forest remembers. Every creature that falls becomes a vessel — roots through flesh, spores through silence. Death here is only a change of shape. #blacksky #blackbooksky #oilpainting #darkart #horror #art #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite #gaelriccidot #Dreamscape

Every line is a fragment of a dream I couldn’t wake from. Every shadow remembers something I tried to forget. I draw to see what words can’t say. The shape of silence. The echo of a wound. #darkart #blackwork #artoftheday #fantasyart #gaelriccidot #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite

There are nights when pain feels like a pact. Not an accident, not a wound — but a covenant signed in silence. The body twists, the nerves burn, and every second whispers of surrender. #art #darkart #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite #blacksky #blackbooksky #artistsonbluesky

A wolf that carries the forest in its breath. Feral, fractured, yet eternal. Ink as a reminder that strength is born from the wild. #tattoo #tattooart #blackwork #darkart #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite #artistsonbluesky #blacksky #blackbooksky

A silent guardian, forged in ink. Between decay and flight, it waits. Not just a bird— but a reminder that even in ruin, there is vigilance. #art #illustration #darkart #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite #blacksky #blackbooksky #artistsonbluesky

Beneath rusted steel and shattered bone, he endures. Once a knight of flesh and oath, now a vessel of silence and memory. His armor no longer shields life, but carries the echo of battles uncounted. #art #drawing #blacksky #blackbooksky #horror #artcommissions #supportartists #blackandwhite

This is an Art Deco project, mainly in flat colors, black and white. I love both the Art Deco and Art Nouveau movements, as I feel they always retain that elegance that defines them so well. #blackwork #darkart #bskyart #illustration #artoftheday #blackart

A lone figure wanders through ruins, carrying more questions than answers. The wreckage whispers of forgotten empires… and the silence feels heavier than stone. #Art #InkDrawing #MythicArt #Surrealism #FantasyArt #DarkArt #VisionaryArt #ContemporaryArt #NarrativeArt #ArtistOnBluesky
