A digital drawing focused around three characters. Closest to the camera is an esoteric looking figure wearing a Venetian-styled mask with three faces, who is standing on a pedestal. There is a veil hanging under the lips of the center face, under which are some small tentacles. They have a tall hat with a red gem in the middle and elaborate purple and gold clothing, all of which is bathed in the red glow from the book they are looking at. Out of the book, numerous tentacles sprout, curling around the piece and reflecting that same red glow. On a page of the book, there is text from Robert Chambers’ “The King in Yellow,” namely, Cassilda’s Song. Below the first figure are two women in a crowd of hooded cultists. One woman, who wears a suit and tie, presses a protective hand on the arm of the other as she aims a gun at the head of the first figure. Her face is nervous but determined, single-minded in her focus and desperation, so that she does not notice her companion grasping her arm as she raises a gleaming dagger, ready to stab her in the back. They are cast in a beam of green light from the right of the piece. In the foreground, a statue of an angel looks down upon them all, hands pressed together in prayer.
I need to be more active on Bluesky so here’s a piece I did for school… my evil eldritch yuri polycule…
