For me it is always a huge kick and motivation boost. We come together virtually to raise the bar on what is possible in digital art and for me it serves as a reminder where I come from (artistically).
Today I want to post all of my artworks related to DRC and my thoughts about each piece. This post will be updated with every new addition / art pack in the future.
Witchcraft Artpack :: March 2016
Topic: The Furies
Title: Hexen I: Heretic Warrior
Description:
Part 1 of a new series about "Hexen" (German plural and verb for witches and witchcraft) in a certain themed setting. This piece is subtitled "Hecate and 4 Swords" and describes the powerful witch that can summon the deadly powers of blades and steel. Unlike the historical mythology about Hecate, this heretic warrior grows powerful by cutting her own arms and grows new ones like a hydra. She can send her newly grown limbs miles away and becomes a powerful near and ranged combat weapon herself in the process.
This is my contribution to the Dark Realm Collective Halloween theme called "Urban Folklore"! The theme I picked was: "The timeless beauty of Kuschisake Onna".

Then Conzpiracy noted that we also can run wild with a theme - I picked "The shape" and that´s what you got.
I definitely overused the retro colors and chromatic aberation, however, I believe that is the tiny percentage that still connects my work with this month pieces from our other members ;) Hope you like.
My piece is also part of the month June patreon rewards and a hi-res version will be available exclusively to patrons

An art pack release for "Black Easter".
The theme I picked was "Resurrection".

Summer Solstice Artpack 2015 :: The Shape
Close up 1
Close up 2
This is "rise of the slasher" the summer topic from the Dark Realm Collective
The collection focuses mainly on the 80ies slasher movies genre and actually that was a topic I wanted to skip since I had no idea, yadda yadda. Then Conzpiracy noted that we also can run wild with a theme - I picked "The shape" and that´s what you got.

Valentines Day 2015:: The Impossible Heart
Close up 1
Close up 2
My contribution to Dark Hearts, the Valentine art package from The Dark Realm Collective.
Have a nice one!
I really enjoyed working on this one as it was a nice chance to get more into surreal and symbolic stuff again, a bit in the flavor of my piece "Call of Cthulhu"

X-Mas 2014 :: Fantabulous-RQ: Aoi Usami / Slay Belle
Close up 1
Close up 2
This one was a tough one to come up with; Actually I just wanted to do a contribution for the x-mas challenge on DRC - "the dark realm collective", the topic I choose was "Night of the slay belles". Check this link to see the piece without the x-mas text;)
On my blog you find some close-ups as well.
The hard part was that I couldn´t come up with an idea that was not rendered a thousand times before. I also don´t wanted to do just a dark or gory pin-up piece.
So I had to dig deeper. Additionally I wanted to have a piece that I could use as a seasonal greetings card and with each demand it got harder to come up with an idea. By the end of the day I had something that need to suit the following criteria - it had to be:
Dark
Original
Pinup (My RQ-series)
Incorporate the terms Slay Belle somehow;)
Christmas or winter time
Pop-Culture (my personal aim)
Fun to do
Did I mention that it is really hard to bring these terms together in a believable way?
Inspired roughly by the slay belle version of Katarina from League of Legends, Star Wars, Iron man, etc.

Halloween 2014 :: Oni Ni Tenome
Screenshot capture in progress
The themes for this topic on Halloween were:
1. The Resurrection of the Buckners
2. A Symphony of skulls
3. Hollywood Macabre
4. I can't shake these Daemons
5. The Apparition of Lady Grey
I decided to go with the Demons I can´t shake.
The Tenome is a mythological Japanese creature best known from the movie Pan´s Labyrinth. Del Torro´s vision nailed the creature
perfectly as it used to be a blind man. However I took the artistic license to run wild with the interpretation.
