As much as I adore Lovecraft and his works, the title was not intended to have anything to do with Shub Niggurath... -+-+-+-+-+- tools of trade: pencils, kneadbale eraser, white gel-pen (also bought myself some fancy drawing paper) credits: http://www.flickr.com/photos/49930075@N07/7072892763/ - stumbled upon this photo by chance on google, and simply fell in love with it. I just had to use that face.

Eddie

an old friend from childhood... It's been about a decade since I sketched him last time. I must have been like 16... yes I wanted him relaxed and happy for once (everyone deserves a break ) -+-+-+-+-+- Eddie belongs to Iron Maiden... My favorite are early works of Derek Riggs (especially "Killers" and "The number of the Beast" including singles) and "Edward the Great" by Tom Adams. The newest work by Melvyn Grant is just a miss... to say the least, and I believe I am not the only one who thinks so. used: pencils, kneadable eraser, stump and plain printer paper

Autumn

Her Highness Autumn, beautiful yet life ending. Reminds us nothing lasts forever, everything passes... and decays. Just another note to my visual requiem... Done for the contest held in :icongrimgloomtale: :http://fav.me/d5i6ocq -+-+-+-+- used just pencils and kneadable eraser, also helped myself with a white gel-pen to do her eyes. Wanted them a little eerie and expressionless, she is just a specter after all. credits: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic.mhtml?id=48703123 http://fav.me/d4ua8o0

Can you hear the Crawling Chaos that howls beyond the stars? From the Blacken Void he comes dressed in night... Yes she serves him. Done for the contest held by :icondreamarian: here: http://fav.me/d5dys59. Thank you for watching. -+-+-+-+- credits: pose reference http://fav.me/d343y8y face reference: http://fav.me/d59qq1i cat reference: http://piratelotus-stock.deviantart.com/art/Edinburgh-Gardens-Animals-18-269338213 Done entirely in pencils on printer paper with help of a kneadable eraser. I experimented with the cobweb and some book titles. Used sharp pencil to indent the paper, then erased it thoroughly and covered with soft pencil, so they came out white.

Unholy Union (Allegory)

Sat, 01 Sep 2012 07:12:51 -0400

This is the wedding picture and an illustration to my novel "Revolution". It is an allegory so the details are as just symbols. Ricky and Rob are half brothers (their share a father) that united 3 nations under one bloodied banner. Ricky became a dictator, and Rob does for him what Felix Dzerzhinsky used to do for Lenin ... The marriage was arranged by Ricky, to serve his political and propaganda aims, hence - priest collar, the collar also symbolizes he not only has secular authority in his state but controls the church as well. Rob's (the groom's) eyes are black and hollow, symbolizing that he is a monster, with blood on his hands. He stands stiff with expressionless face, void of emotions, more like a machine or a construct then human being. Bones scattered around denote the fight for power was bloody and took many lives. The facade is crumbling and all grisly secrets and filthy crimes creep out from the dark holes and recess... And the bride... dog collar and hands bound with ribbon show the choice was never hers. Lilly in her hair symbolizes moral purity and innocence. She is the central character, brothers are villains... If you want to know more about Rob and his callous ways: http://sta.sh/027vw66dxx9y Or about the bride: http://sta.sh/0q3ct8qzb9t :icondonotuseplz::iconmyartplz: Ricardo, Roberto and Maria Sanchez Belong to me.

Veraxell

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 05:17:38 -0400

Another dark tale ... He used to be an angel, however now only his blue eyes bear traces of his origin, some say they are most beautiful eyes… regrettably the rest of him is far less pleasing to behold… His name comes from Latin word “verax” which means truthful for he always fought for the truth and defended the righteous causes. They say he sacrificed himself for the sake of others during the I War in Heavens. Captured and tortured for centuries in the darkest pits of Hell, he lost his mind and forgot who he was. He was left in a circular cell to rot in filth for eternity. There was nothing but pain and misery and nothing else mattered, and finally his halo doused in darkness… And when that happened, they say His Satanic Highness stood over Veraxell’s abused body and shed a drop of blood on his face, whispering his name… The blue eyes blinked and the tormented body stumbled back on its feet from filthy ground… and even though his wings had been ripped out centuries ago, darkness and shadows woven new ones for him… He was left to roam free, like a plague… or chaos. He has no allegiance, for he is insane and unpredictable, and none really trusts him. Driven with his own distorted logic he is equally capable of the most tender deeds and the most foul alike. He can speak, but seems reluctant to… and without lips he cannot correctly pronounce certain sounds… but even when he choses to speak it is hard to follow his train of thought… He is strangely drawn to bones, especially skulls and some say he is more likely to talk to them than to the living… -+-+-+-+- he belongs to me there was no references used, yet I was watching "The Machinist" again... with extra thin Ch. Bale... I must admit.

Gothic Portrait

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 03:52:21 -0500

A portrait of my dear friend and a gift for her. No, she is not a goth... but she likes Gothic art, hence the idea of creating a personalized Gothic piece for her. The original belongs to her, but she agreed to have it submitted here. -+-+-+- credit: Pose reference and dress http://cait-shoxxi.deviantart.com/art/Gothic-Luxuriation-3-56335384

Dhezmon

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 22:27:50 -0500

My Water Demon There are angels and and there are fallen angels... but there are no converted demons, at least I have not heard of any yet... However there are deserters... like this one... Dhezmon. As a demon and a deserter he avoids angels and demons alike, for he has no allies on either side...
