An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower a red squirrel knight, with body armor and a cape, holding a lance in one hand and standing on its hind legs, with a golden halo aroung its upper torso and head. the beast (from beauty and the beast), appearing in the middle of a dense rose-bush foliage, gently holding a tiny bird in its huge paws and looking at it with tenderness. the castle tower can be seen in the distance. toe-thrasher, a rat lord wearing a royal mantle made of white fur, thrashing in the middle of a swamp in its hind legs and holding a black flail. in the swamp, there are numerous yellow eyes

well hello
if you came all the way from Twitter/X because of the new edit image shit, I figure you might be exhausted, disheartened, furious and probably a little hungry

I hope this new space brings you solace and community;

I'm Hazel! I'm a fantasy and horror illustrator from Cornwall. Texture, noise and colour are my favourite to play with, and I'm also writing a fantasy horror book which inspires a lot of my style
An illustration by Hazel Budzinski. The main focus of the piece is a large tree, with branches that twist in and out of each other. Tied around branches are golden braids of varying lengths. The tree has lichen and moss upon it's branches, and surrounding this tree are turquoise ghostly visages of other trees. There is a grain to the illustration, overall giving a feeling of a flash photo taken at night, or something taken with a night camera. A fanart illustration of the character Guinevere from Knights of Guinevere, made by Hazel Budzinski. It shows a blue female figure floating in the air, back facing the floor, unnaturally long arms dangling down with her knees tucked upwards. Wires curve up and around her limbs, with one stabbing into her left wrist and wriggling inside, another into her neck, one into her belly, with others posed at the ready. Her neck is unnaturally turned towards the viewer as though it’s broken, an uncanny smile and wide staring eyes on her face. Behind her is a pink palace, hazy and ethereal. Fireworks explode in front of it, casting a glow against her silhouette An illustration by Hazel Budzinski. At the bottom of the image are dark purple pine trees, with sketchy vibrant red lines around them which look like fire. Behind the trees is pillowing smoke, desatured blue and grey in colour, which blends into a mid-toned purple , then dark purple. At the top of the smoke trails of sketchy red begin, blending into a yellow wolf that leaps forward. On top of the whole piece is the title of the book ‘The Gods Must Burn’ and the authors name ‘T. R. Moore, A book cover of The Lies That Lie Beneath by Gerrit Van Eck, illustration by Hazel Budzinski. The upper half of the composition is a forest, lit in a blue haze that fades to green. A ring of mushrooms sits on the forest floor. The dark brown roots from the trees of this forest reach down underneath the earth, taking up the majority of the canvas. The soil turns from a greenish brown to blue as the roots get further down. On top of the illustration is the title of the book, which is formed by mushroom roots

Hi, I'm Vihala! I'm a TTRPG and OC illustrator who usually renders semi-realism, but I love using Art Deco and cartoony styles as well! I'd describe my tastes as 'whimsically dark': I play (pun intended) w/ harsh lighting and philosophy!
Donnel (my OC) taking a selfie. He's posed in front of a synaptic lathe that hosts innumerable copies of himself. The selfie's sent with a caption - "Can't kill me that easy". Donnel himself is a brown haired human man with a pink, crystal scar running down the side of his face. He's got on a purple holiday ""hawaiian"" shirt, and is holding a champagne glass. Evie (left) is nudging Neve (right) with her butt, causing Neve to trip over. Evie is wearing the lingerie from slugwurm's holiday challenge: it has a green top and green high thigh tights. Both the top and the tights have a red ribbon with a bell in the middle. There's also a furry shawl and a fake tail on her. Evie's blonde hair is done up in an extremely high ponytail. Neve is wearing a black ugly christmas sweater with a jewel toned, long, blue skirt. She has light silvery hair. Wind21's Delmae! She's a harpy were-angel with light skin, glowing green hair, golden scars, and purple tattoos. Behind her is pair of spectral, lightning infused angel wings. She's on a cliff looking at the viewer in dim lighting. A rough sea featuring a water spout tornado. Within the sea is a massively oversized Spider Crab, with 4 small shadowed figures aboard. The waves and the water spout are augmented with art deco lines.

Infatuation
The artwork shows a room with a big round window and a round glass ceiling above the window space. There are plants next to the window and a round rug in the center of the room with a long ladder placed in the center of the rug. The window and the walls have heavy layered curtains. There are two tall columns on both sides of the window, some rugs on the floor and furniture placed around the room. On top of the ladder there's a girl reaching towards a floating angel who is also reaching towards the girl. On the left side of the artwork, there's a woman looking at two girls who are hiding behind a room divider. An older woman is napping in the chair with a book in her hands. A woman in green is standing next to her holding a monocle in one hand. She is looking up at the girl and the angel. There are two cats in the artwork: one is laying on a chair and one is stretching on the floor. There are three dogs: komondor, a spaniel mix and a dalmatian. Komondor is standing in the foreground, dalmatian is laying on a pillow covered with a blue blanket and the spaniel is standing up barking while looking up. The artwork is detailed and has mostly green and blue palette with some pops of red.
