Hello folx! I have some free time coming up, so if any of you have any art needs, especially in the Dark Fantasy/Horror genres, please toss them my way. TTRPG and cover work tends to be my jam. Would be especially excited to work on more monochrome pieces like the samples below

Hi, my name is Doruk, and I think I might be a decent fit for your more dark fantasy/horror themed projects. Here is my portfolio website and a couple of sample images below:

I recently googled if the swimming pool in Titanic was still full because someone claimed the AI overview gave an interesting answer to that. Here are my results for that:
