gothic apparition (painting) // june MOTM // nsfw (Patreon)

"that’s it, baby. take me to the hilt."

bam! it’s been a while since i did a monochrome piece that more focused on linework and texture than colouring, and i love how it turned out!

thanks to toreadorkable for suggesting a goth MOTM design prompt. i drew inspiration from both gothic horror, gothic architecture, and gothic subculture, and tried to make the piece look like an old victorian illustration of an eerie tale! more on my thought process in the upcoming design commentary, as usual. for now i’ll just add that my favourite part is probably … the stone block in the lower left corner. i love texturing stone…..
