Arch, and F.E.A.R. 2

Just doodling a little, I came up with a ruined city, a mysterious arch, and some people hiking off. I don't often jump into picturs like this, but I have taken a liking to painting with just one brush and all palettes off recently.

I just finished playing F.E.A.R. 2 - there are pupils who are experimented on, and one of them has my name! That was creepy...

Making Of "The Tale of Nahil and Remor"

Most of them have titles that include "Dark", but I don't really have to take care of any layouting since the author is commissioning me from his own pocket; it's entirely unsure if the publisher will use the artworks, but fingers crossed. Nevertheless, I am having a lot of fun because our collaboration is quite creative. They often show the main protagonist Alice in danger, the depictions are very symbolic and I am to include certain elements taking cues from tarot and mythology. The greatest challenge certainly is that I need to show horror story artwork without making it unshowable despite subjects like cannibalism, child abduction, and abuse in marriage.
