Bog body bog fae cryptid bruno

i'm thinking more like bog body bruno being found in a thousand years still looking like he's just taking a nap in the bog!! peaceful, sleepy but content expression eternally preserved on leathery skin. very much tollund man vibes (ok tollund man probably died under pretty violent circumstances he just happens to look peaceful lol)

or like, future bog body bruno having just ended up in the bog, slowly sinking into the water in the peat moss and heather ^_^ im so normal about bogs and jjba btw can you tell.

idk i just keep thinking about him being a walking corpse for half of vento aureo and it inspires meeeeee. idk, corpses and death and stuff is very like, artistically inspiring to me, if that makes sense. theres a reason my url is what it is !!

oh and look up the tollund man and bocksten man if youre comfortable with looking at human remains btw!! the bocksten man has a really cool reconstruction made of him at the museum he's at ^_^

sorry this was such a long answer and the tags makes it longer sghjdkss

#i just. really like bogs and bog bodies #and i love making art that like.... idk makes death seem peaceful and less scary or something to dread #<- this is coming from someone who for YEARS has been so afraid of death yet here i am. studying dead people lol #its therapeutic in a way to like idk make beautiful and heartbreaking art about death #and i like combining it with the narrative of vento aureo and bruno because. i just like it #plus VA just inspires me a lot and i see so much potential for cool art with a lot of visual storytelling and symbolism in it #sorry this is such a weird thing to want to draw maybe but.#im kinda obsessing over bog bodies rn since im supposed to write my bachelors thesis on them #smilesssss so widely #ask
