#art inspired by the #blackvolga #urbanlegend whispered about across Cold War Eastern Europe. They say it prowled the streets at night, abducting anyone who got too close. #inkart #fountainpenart #darkart #horrorart #folklore #mixedmedia #charcoalart
Artwork of the Black Volga legend, painted on watercolor paper. The car is depicted in dramatic tones, with glowing white headlights cutting through dark surroundings. The background features a dimly lit building with warm orange light emanating from windows, creating a haunting atmosphere. The artwork is displayed on a textured, dark surface with subtle radial lines, enhancing the eerie and vintage aesthetic.

#art inspired by #Carmilla — Twenty-five years before Dracula, Le Fanu’s 1872 gothic tale gave us the first true #vampire seductress. Dark, atmospheric, and boldly feminist, it reshaped vampire fiction. #inkart #fountainpenart #darkart #SheridanLeFanu #gothicfiction #horrorart
An original ink illustration inspired by Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, featuring two women intertwined in a gothic, ethereal style. The figure on the left, Carmilla, is drawn with dark flowing hair and an intense gaze, contrasted by the brighter figure of Laura, whose delicate features and soft, light hair evoke innocence. Their hair swirls together in an otherworldly motion. The artwork is set against a rich black fabric background with an embroidered red rose pattern, enhancing the gothic and elegant tone of the piece.

A woman stands on a roof, she stands with her back to the viewer, but her head and gaze are turned towards the viewer. She is wearing a dark dress, holding a scythe in her left hand. A tall Gothic-style tower is depicted in the background. The lighting and sky are red in color.

You are a ray of sunshine in a cold, shadowed wood. Exploring with a curious nature that fades into sweet and kind, but one must always keep those pointed teeth of yours in mind.

#art #fountainpenink on #watercolor with #bleach inspired by a #ghost story from Auberge Le Saint-Gabriel's. Laughter drifts through empty halls, a piano plays with no one there, and once a year, the phone rings with a voice from the fire. #darkart #spookyart
An original ink and watercolor artwork depicting the ghostly figure of a young girl surrounded by musical notes and staff lines, which appear to dissolve and melt into smoke. The spectral figure seems to emerge from a dark, ethereal background, evoking an eerie and haunting atmosphere. The artwork is textured, with shadowy tones and hints of rust-like colors, representing the haunting legend of the ghost girl at Auberge Le Saint-Gabriel.

𝖂𝖎𝖕 𝖔’𝖜𝖎𝖘𝖕 𝖔𝖋 “𝔄𝔪 ℑ 𝔟𝔢𝔞𝔲𝔱𝔦𝔣𝔲𝔩? わたし、きれい?“ Finally painting Kuchisake-onna‘s bloody mouth❣️

#wip #paintingprocess #oilpainting #kuchisakeonna #japanesefolklore #darkart #coffincreations
A photo of a small, creepy portrait with the title “Am I beautiful?“. This painting shows a japanese spirit called Kuchisake-onna, which means slit-mouthed woman, who looks slightly concerned to the viewer. Her mouth looks bloody & a paintbrush is adding more oil colour on & around the mouth to create old bloodstains.

#art #darkart inspired by The Jiajing Emperor who ruled the Ming Dynasty in isolation. He was obsessed with alchemy and immortality—at the cost of at least dozens of young girls’ lives. Sixteen of his concubines tried to strangle him with a silk ribbon but failed. #fountainpenink #darkhistory
Watercolor and ink artwork depicting the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The piece features a minimalist design with warm golden hues in the background, splattered red stains resembling blood, and a golden bowl filled with dark red liquid at the center. The emperor’s face is faintly outlined, with piercing green eyes and a black rope looping downwards, adding an ominous and haunting atmosphere.

#art #inkart inspired by Tomoka's Carnivorous Pink Cloud—
deadly pink cloud that terrorized Florida's #Tomoka River from 1955 to 1966, dissolving foliage and leaving only bones behind. #urbanlegend #urbanlegends #carnivorouspinkclouds This one was a lot of fun to make with #fountainpenink.
An eerie black-and-white illustration of a swamp under the moonlight, featuring draping tree branches and a glowing, ominous pink cloud at ground level. The surreal scene evokes a haunting and mysterious atmosphere.

#art inspired by #gingersnaps. #darkart #horrorart #inkart A brutal, blood-soaked allegory blending body horror with dark humor as two outcast sisters face lycanthropy, transformation, and the raw terror of growing up. Smart, subversive, and unapologetically vicious.
Original artwork inspired by the film Ginger Snaps, featuring a haunting, high-contrast portrait of Ginger with blood dripping from her mouth. Her pale face is framed by wild, unkempt hair, set against a dark, textured background resembling a strip of film. The raw, visceral imagery evokes themes of transformation and feral rage.
