THE DEEP DARK x BETTER LEFT BURRIED

Do constantly restrained shadows and wings justify being a melodramatic asshole?
Vespin thought so.

...then Iris moved to his small town. Can you have friends and keep your ravenous shadow caged?

Collage with a figure standing underwater makes up the background. In the lower left foreground feathers of a dark gray wing rise. On the right hands pose as black inky shadows drift upward to the top of the image.

#BluePitHype Here's a mood board for Ravenous Shadows and one for a WIP scene in Death of Asa Conway
Collage with watercolor bare trees and a glimpse of decidous coast behind. In the foreground on the left a boy walks as black shadows drift behind, on the right a red head girl looks foreward, and lastly part of a black wing fills the top quarter. Collage background a wood staircase and hung wall frames on a dark green curtain/wall. A chandelier illuminates above. At the bottom a man clenches his face while his shadow screams. A figure in the middle shatters with embers peeking through cracks. In the bottom right viens glow in a pair of hands.
