god of thorns (painting) // april MOTM // nsfw (Patreon)

the bloodletting lady, as ancient as the land itself, consumer of cities, she who drinks wine out of veins, protector of the worthy and slayer of the proud, who wields her strength as both sword and shield.

or, to get to the point — a primordial deity taking care of her needs.

i’ve wanted to design a thorn-clad character for so long, and drawing all those sharp and twisted shapes was oddly meditative…! this lady is already a personal favourite among my recent MOTMs. shout-out to nak for suggesting a thorny/spiky monster!
