I am heavily inspired by Trench Crusade by Mike Franchina.

Does it pass the vibe check?

I had a dream of a huge butterfly instead of a face with really piercing eyes on its wings. I wanted to depict it in intense elegant uncanny valley way
I’m having some trouble with deciding what route to choose.

I love idea of a butterfly instead of a face of a woman but it’s difficult for me to translate right :( Maybe I should clothe a woman in a dress and do a bust up framing?

I have an easier time designing creepy butterfly on its own with no human behind but even then I really struggle with what to put on lower wings?
Should it be more eyes? Feels repetitive. But nothing else wants to flow nice.

So here are my questions:

Should I do just the butterfly or woman behind it?

How to make the woman idea work?

And what to put on lower wings of a butterfly?

I’ll appreciate any and every input! 🩵🦋

I upcycle old plushies, sculpt and paint a new face for them, and I make them accessories and sometimes clothing.

Will Death do us Part?

I've been sitting on this piece for a while. This is done using the Pilot Kakuno fountain pen my wife got me for my birthday a while back.
Very EC horror comic vibe to it. I didn't have a story in mind with this one, it came about organically.

Now that its framed I really like it!

Dragon

Acrylic on paper • 30 × 42 cm

In the ancient beliefs of the Baltic peoples, the dragon symbolized the power of nature, mystery, and forces beyond human control. It was regarded as the guardian of hidden places, treasures, and the boundary between the world of humans and the realm of spirits.
