Dark digital drawing of a woman suspended in mid-air with only a big eye on her face. The eye is crying black sludge which is filling up the inside of her body. There are faint grey bars in front of her, imprisoning her.

Am I Beautiful Yet?: Traditional drawing of an emaciated, hunched and patched up humanoid. It is stepping into the drawing from the right, its face turned towards the viewer. Its limbs are extremely long. Its left hand, originally a right hand that was sewn onto its body, is reaching for its face. Its eyes are half open and it is looking at the viewer with a huge, sharp-toothed smile. The background is mostly dark blue with three torn patches covered in pencil criss-crosses.

Lurking: Black and white pencil drawing of a small creature holding a little glowing star and looking afraid. Above the little creature towers a big dark monster, casting a shadow over the creature.

Rael: Traditional portrait of a blue-haired player character with rabbit ears from Final Fantasy XIV. She is gently smiling and looking sideways at the viewer.

The Watcher: Traditional pencil drawing of a woman walking a winding path at night. She is holding her hand out ahead of her, a small purple ball of light floating above it. She seems to be in a daze. There are dead trees scattered along the path, with a lantern hanging on one of the branches. A shadowy figure to the right of the drawing is watching her from afar. It has one big eye. There are eyes with wings flying near it. There is a crescent moon in the sky. The drawing is framed with hemp string.

Edited this photo while listening to Lake of Tears, hence the title. Yes, it's a bit literal and on the nose, but I liked it ( ￣▽￣ ) Here is the original shot:

´◕ _ ◕` - wooo? #art #traditionalart #illustration #ghost #cemetery #creepycute #darkart #illusionbreaksart

Traditional drawing, mostly black and white, of a shiny ghost with a sparkly horn coming out of a cracked tombstone in a cemetery. The ghost looks sad; it has rosy cheeks and big eyes. Its mouth is open in an 'o' shape. There are silver stars in the sky behind the ghost. There are more tombstones to the left and to the right of the cracked tombstone, far away in the background of the drawing. Two very dry and stiff-looking plants are on either side of the cracked tombstone, with a few normal green leaves and some eyes that are the same shape as the leaves.

The cats are completely black aside from their bright white eyes. There are five in total: two cats in the right cup, one cat in the left with another spilling out of it, upside down, and another liquid cat falling beneath the cups.
Behind the cups is a circle of shiny/iridescent paint.

I wasn't very confident with adding colour to my drawings at the time (not much has changed). Alas, the vision was there but the skills and materials were not ;__; so it was nice to be able to change that digitally! Here is how it looked pre-paint and post-paint back then:

Black and white pencil drawing of six cats in a darkened room with a loft.
The downstairs is mostly lit up by a glow coming from a window towards the left. Three cats are sitting there, looking at the moon. One is sitting on a chair, the rest are on the floor.
There is a lantern hanging on the left wall and a light bulb hanging from the ceiling. There is a door slightly to the right.
There are wooden stairs with a bannister on the right side of the drawing. A cat is sitting a few steps up, with another on the landing at the top of the stairs.
Upstairs on both sides are curtains which are tied up with a thin string. There is a balustrade going along the edge of the upstairs floor, with four lit candles on the floor placed between the balusters and a cat sitting on the bannister.

some old phone shots/edits from my retired IG photography account ✿ #photography #nature #darknature #darkphotography #illusionbreaksphotography

Title: Folorn.
Black and white photo of a group of small white flowers seen from above. It has moody tone and a dusty texture.
The flowers only take up a small portion of the shot, at the centre. Possibly common yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.)

Untitled.
Black and white photo of a large white rose seen from above. Its petals are speckled with rain drops.
The shot is centred on the rose but the flower doesn't take up the entire photo.
The background is mostly dark, with some leaves on the left of the shot and the base of another rose in the upper right corner.

Untitled.
Black and white photo of a group of small flowers. They look windswept. The petals at the top of the flowers look white, with more colour on the lower ones.
The photo has a moody tone and a grungy, scratchy texture.
The shot isn't centred; the flowers are taking up most of the photo aside from a small dark space at the bottom.
Possibly feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium).
