Digital painting of a mind flayer in a suit with glowing pink eyes, whose face and shoulders are in complete shadow. They are against a sickly green background with a portrait of H.P. Lovecraft on the wall. They say, "I use to be an "adventurer" just like you... NOTE: this scene was used purely for aesthetic and composition, not for the actual plot of the episode or who the person in the shadow is.

A preview of the final variant theme, inspired from a scene of the original Twilight Zone. The final will also have a cityscape, but with a Lovecraftian film noir angle.

기쁨 Joy
어쨌거나 그들은 친구고, 연인이고, 가족입니다. 함께 있을 때 커다란 기쁨을 느낍니다. 단 둘이서 밤하늘을 보는 것도요.

Anyway, they are friends, lovers, and family. When we are together, we feel great joy. Looking at the night sky.

(I thought about how to translate the word "Pride" into Korean.) They are proud of themselves. They are proud and confident, whether they are what they used to be or what they are now. I think having myself is more difficult than I thought.

Prompt: Yearning

#theemperorweek

Digital painting of a cobblestone street in hazy morning sunlight.

One hazy morning, a clerk prepared to open their shop when they spotted two small figures at a window. On closer look they appeared to be...brains?! The clerk went outside, and watched the two *fly* off towards a tall man strolling by.

🖤 Ayumu, his Left Hand & Second Sword

#BaldursGate 2077. In the back alleys of Lower City, a patron eludes a thief by running into Elfsong. The staff reassures they're safe - "he" is watching. The thief learns too late the rumors were true...
