Happy Halloween everyone!

I was honored to take part in @atelierhylia 's spooky special, The Blood Moon Tomes, with this piece, based in one of Ray Frederick Coyle's illustrations for the novel 'Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice' by James Branch Cabell (the illustrations were made in 1919, but the novel faced legal issues and was published later, in 1929, four years after Coyle's death).

I decided to choose Zelda and Ghirahim as subjects for this study because only the Demon Lord can pull the drama of the original image! It was fun to work with silhouettes and small details (I particularly loved drawing the details in Zelda's dress and the stained glass windows!)

Enter the Plight

Nothing like it – blissful transfusion, Cauterizing sympathies, Overture of brute, cranial malfunction, Followed by dead silence . . .

Eyes are tears in the dark, Bleeding open for the rest to see, Sitting on their hands near the door, Under the mark of the Host, Imagined or unimagined Tangedem, Summoning itself for brighter futures.

This is what the monster knows! . . . Can feel their presence suffocating, Forcing nature – poisoning the earth, Contemptible vessel refusing to go, Or till downward to that hid grave.

Almiras knows the way like no other, Bitter by the time He can stand, Intuitive consciousness uncontrolled, Afterlife of hibernating realities – Dismal fates for all who do not See . . .

Nausea in the beginning: utter scorn, Laughter of a blind, senseless ghost, Until waywardness & rancid laughter, Burning in its numb skin – sallow, Umbrous delineator of hope & loss.

And voilà! Here's my second contribution for @atelierhylia , my study of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's Portrait de Mademoiselle Marcelle Lender, starring the one and only Great Fairy from Ocarina of Time! I chose her because her flamboyance is the only that can parallel a star of the Moulin Rouge (Mlle. Lender was a singer and dancer there). Just like the previous study, I made this illustration in mixed media.

Reposting these two maid Link/ butler Zelda doodles from ages ago (aka pre-plague) bc someone on Twitter resurfaced them.

I think it would be fun to remake them in digital...

Here is my first of the two contributions I made for @atelierhylia , a free zine devoted to Master studies!

My choice for this study was Picasso's Girl Before A Mirror. It was a good challenge to ditch proportions and formal training to pursue more abstract, geometric shapes, plus adapting the color palette to fit the characters.

Hilda and Zelda from a Link Between Worlds were a perfect choice, since paintings and parallels are themes in the game.

My #1 post of 2022

I've been working on a more painterly way to digitally color my drawings (this one is a traditional one I already shared), and I feel I'm getting somewhere, yay!

This is Hylia, Golden Chain AU version - a more warlike iteration/redesign, considering she canonically went to battle as it was told in Skyward Sword!

I could feel it in my bones.  In that instant I knew.  Jamaz was waiting to take me deeper into sulphurous canyons & meat strewn caves.  Thanatos who knew my name came crawling out of the darkness with his legions of worms & flies.  Ground bubbled with malefic dwellers underneath as he hovered on his obsidian precipice: Son of Night, Father to Moros & the blackest of the Veils, friend to all who pass through the Lowest Depths beyond the necro-megalopolis also known as Maymon, City of Sighs, named after that first infernal lord to spread its disease: who Thanatos worships in his bleakest hours, under the rule & tutelage of a deadly, bloated serpent pregnant with primal hallucinations.  Strengthening he who almost walked away: surveying his underworld far & wide . . .
