An illustration of a dark old parlour room with a cozy fire burning in the fireplace. A cat strolls across an ornate rug in front of the fire while a crow sits on the arm of a large wingback chair. The fire illuminates the rug and chair but the rest of the room is in darkness. Black pen and printmaking ink on off white paper. Spooky and atmospheric.

🎃 Brand new work to celebrate it being October! 🎃 ‘Halloween in the Suburbs’. Black pen and acrylic inks on off white paper. Unsigned Giclee Prints: £50 +P&P Signed Giclee Prints: £70 +P&P Illustration size: A4 Email Nick at: nicktankardart@gmail.com 🎃👻
An illustration of a small old wooden house with a little porch. Its windows are illuminated by the light within. The house sits on a street in suburban America, it is Halloween. The neighbourhood is active with spooky goings on, ghosts in white sheets on the street and in the windows of the house, mummies amble about, glowing pumpkins on the sidewalk and porch. A black cat strolls in front of the house, a black crow sits on top of the little house. On the porch a little witch with her black dress, broom and crooked hat knocks on the door, trick or treating? Going to a party? Or an unwanted guest? 
The illustration is done in black crosshatch pen on white paper, the pumpkins are orange with yellow glowing eyes in stark contrast to the black & white. Whimsical and celebratory…Halloween in the Suburbs!

I'll start! ✨ Hi, I'm Lourdes, a Brazilian illustrator inspired by folklore, mysticism, horror and fantasy. I create illustrations for RPGs, card games, books and personal projects. 🖤 lourdessaraiva.artstation.com
Title: Retribution

The painting depicts the goddess Nemesis as an embodiment of punitive justice. There is a female figure suspended in the air, with her arms outstretched, holding a sword in one hand and an hourglass in the other. Her hair is dark and windswept, and large golden wings extend behind her. She wears a light-colored tunic with flowing fabrics, against a misty sky in shades of blue, green and gold.Fanart of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. There is a female figure with short, almost white blonde hair, golden tears streaming from her eyes and a serene expression. She wears a red outfit with a white lace collar. She holds a black cat with pale green eyes, surrounded by light-colored roses with thin streaks of blood staining their petals, foliage and thorny branches. The background features shades of blue and black, with golden thorn-covered branches forming a halo around her head.Title: All Beauty Will Vanish

There is a female figure with dark brown hair styled in a voluminous bun, with loose strands framing her face. She wears a light white and pink outfit and holds a bouquet of flowers in shades of pink, lilac and white. The background features shades of brown, with a golden circular halo behind her head.Title: "Pulled out my tongue, so I can't speak the truth.", referencing the lyrics of The Warden by Chelsea Wolfe.
The painting depicts a female figure with closed eyes, long light-colored hair in shades of white and lilac, and two dark, curved horns. Surrounding her head is a luminous radiance with branching forms, reminiscent of the radiant halos found in religious iconography. Blood tears stream from her eyes and blood runs from her lips down her chin. The background features shades of blue-gray and black, it makes a contrast with the luminosity of her hair and the radiance.

Pencil & watercolour on toned paper. Colour added digitally. #darkart #mixedmedia #fantasyart #vampires
Graphite pencil drawing + watercolour on toned paper of a close up of a woman's face. She is in profile, only her nose and mouth is visible. She appears to have quite a sharp tooth. I have added colour tones in photoshop. Her nose and lips have a reddish tone, almost like blood. She has a scar/cut on her cheek. The art is called 'Drained'.

Across the Causeway. Original handmade artwork. An unpublished Illustration made for The Woman in Black written by Susan Hill. Image size: A4 £130 Email Nick at: nicktankardart@gmail.com
A black pen in a crosshatch technique and black block printing ink applied with a roller illustration on off white paper. Areas of dark and light and grey to describe a damp and gloomy landscape of a causeway across an estuary. Two people sit on a wooden cart with two large wooden wheels, the cart is pulled by an old horse. The track is wet and pitted with muddy cart tracks and seaweed. They make their way towards a large Victorian house which is situated on a small island at the end of the causeway. The house looks dark and forbidding, it’s not inviting like say…Centreparks, I don’t think it has a fun water slide out the back.  Rays of sunlight illuminates the roof of the house and reflect on the damp track, the sky is heavy with chunky clouds.

With alt text for anyone who needs it:
A purple chart by the Sexual Violence Center of Cork (whose logo of a few steps leading up to a door is is in the upper right hand corner of the image, titled: "How to avoid sexual assault! :A Quick And Easy Guide*." The asterisk goes to the bottom left, where it says "*for perpetrators."

There are six numbered lighter purple boxes, stacked in 2 rows and 3 columns. The text in the boxes says the following:

1. DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S
DRINKS

2. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM!
IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING
SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT
ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU.

3. WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR
ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS
NOT RAPE THEM. 

4. WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE
HER ALONE.

5. IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND
SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

6. CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

Artist! Quote with your gloomy art!
A digital painting in the gothic romance book cover style, depicting a gown-clad lady with long, dark, windswept hair, gently touching her own neck and looking at the viewer. The lady is rendered in warm, golden hues, and the sky behind her is a mix of crimson and sunset colors. In the distance, across a dark field, rests an old farmhouse, in which a single yellow window is lit.

Artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 – 1986) and friend on the patio of her Ghost Ranch, New Mexico home, 1939. Photo by John Candelario
Artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 – 1986) posing with a human skull replica on the patio of her Ghost Ranch, New Mexico home, 1939. Dressed in white, Ms. O’Keeffe is bemusedly smiling at the skull which is resting atop a fence post in front of the rustic home.

O'Keeffe was a most famously a modernist painter and draftswoman whose career spanned seven decades, and whose work remained largely independent of major art movements. 

Called the "Mother of American modernism", O'Keeffe gained international recognition for her paintings of natural forms, particularly flowers and desert-inspired landscapes, which were often drawn from and related to places and environments in which she lived.

O'Keeffe was well-known for incorporating bones and skulls into her paintings after she first visited New Mexico in 1929. She found the bones beautiful and saw them as symbolic of the desert's keen liveliness, not death. She would often ship animal bones she found in the desert back to her studio in New York to paint.

Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira for the book 'Truthteller' by Mariana V. Coelho, featuring a woman with a golden headpiece that covers her eyes and fans out behind her head like rays. She is wearing a red and elaborate outfit with multiple layers and gold embroidery with gemstones. She is holding a scale in each of her hands, while the scales' chains wrap around her hands and forearms and go up towards the sky. Some of the chains are breaking, one of the scales is tipping down and gold liquid is running down.
