Made some Ghast lore with the lovely @imtryingthisout!

She also wrote a beautiful description for him-

[Notes on The Ghast: taken from the journal of a Traveler. ]

“I heard a shrieking sound so high and horrid it split the hairs on the back of my neck in two. Slowly, I turned my gaze upward and made eye contact with a ghastly sight. Ghastly, yes, the perfect word to describe such a beast, no other word could fit so well. It was a pale massive thing, the ghostly remains of a long-slain giant. The vestige from an age I did not know. A Titan still towering over its domain. Pale in the way a dead thing is pale after all the blood has long been drained.

The face itself was gaunt and sharp. Thin gray lines formed wrinkles that clung tight against its skull. Long ragged hair, white as the face, writhed like thin snakes in the air. They flowed down and wrapped around the remains of its ruined neck, skin flayed but still clinging, clinging just well enough to scream. Oh, so many whisping and whispering tendrils. All blending into one another, forming a flaccid mass of ghostly appendages, swaying in the air. A silhouette better suited for a deep sea creature.

I followed the tear-stained cheeks of this affronted Leviathan to its closed eyes. And in one blink and the next, those eyes shot open to reveal a stare so bloodshot and red they burned like hollow brimstone. Its mouth wrenched open impossibly wide and broken until finally, again, that ghastly noise pierced my ears, as it screamed fire into me.”

I just finished up the last half of Goncherov (1973) and my head is still spinning. It's easily the most nuanced and symbolically complex film I've ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on. The slow, constant progression of Katya's character from an archetypical femme fatale to a woman with obvious vices, insecurities, and justified angers is so believable (and sometimes infuriating) to watch and I'm genuinely surprised they executed it as well as they did.

I really wanted to get something posted during the first week of the rediscovery of this amazing classic- so have a quick sketch of Katya (I was far too lazy to actually draw the background because. Face it. Those docks are extremely hard to get in perspective) :)
