close-up
a close-up on the minotaur. he's turned to the viewer, his snout is covered in bright red blood, so are his hands. he's holding a bloodied bone with a chunk of meat on it.

Myth is the Minotaur
#HouseOfLeaves
an illustration inspired by House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. it depicts the minotaur at the center of the labyrinth, surrounded by bones and blood. he's sitting on his haunches, his legs are that of a bull from the knees down. there are various quotes from the book scattered around him, such as: "this is not for you." "Navidson is not Minos. He did not build the labyrinth. He only discovered it. The father of that place - be it a Minos, Daedalus, St. Mark's -god, another father who swore "Begone! Relieve-me from the sight of your detested form", a whole paternal line here following a tradition of deaf sons." "Love the lion!" "Love the lion." But Love alone does not make yeu Androcles. And for your stupidity your head's crushed like a grape in its jaws." "Be careful. Beware" " Picture that. In your dreams" "And if you do lose yourself, at least take solace in the absolute certainty that you will perish" "Myth is the Minotaur" "That's what you get for trying to turn the Minotaur into a homie. no homie at all"

post your best elf #art!
(this is taz balance fanart from 2021 but I still like it)
Comic shows two young elves, both with bronze skin and golden hair and eyes. They’re fishing on a bank bright with flowers. One of the elves, Lup, who has a short ponytail, asks, “Hey, Taako?” “Hmm?” “I’m a girl." We get a closeup of Taako’s excited face, “Cool!” Taako leans against his his sister, “Super cool. Like, if you expand your wardrobe, hell yes I am stealing all your skirts, already lookin’ forward to it.” Lup smiles for a moment, then looks down. “We won’t be able to do the alibi swap anymore, though.” “Your hair has been longer than mine for ages. We haven’t done the ailibi swap in like a year. That’s what you’re worried about, dingus?” Lup links her hand with Taako. “Shit, no. That was a test, obvs.” Over the two of them smiling, we see a narration box saying, ‘I have a sister.’ We cut to an adult Taako, with a long braid, a purple wizard’s hat, dangly earrings, and a purple blouse or dress. He looks shocked and dumbfounded, holding his umbrella, with the voidfish in the background. The narration box has a static-y texture as it repeats, ‘I have a sister.’

A small dog with a leering human head dances on a chain in front of them a woman wearing a dark trench coat stands in front of a bright red wall. there's a shadow covering the upper half of the woman's face, her features hidden except for glowing yellow eyes. she casts a shadow of a snarling wolf illustration of Charity and the snare dogs from The Silt Verses podcast. they're running among the birch trees whose bark resembles eyes. the dogs' legs have the same eye pattern. the dogs are white with red eyes, their faces split in the middle.

from Welcome to Night Vale episode 175: The October Monologues
a three panel comic. first panel depicts a person whose skin and hair is painted with green and yellow tones. there are two large hands with long nails reaching to them from above and from below. the text is this panel reads: My love is not romantic, nor is it maternal. It's not platonic either. the second panel shows a deer standing in a cornfield. the caption reads: I love you the way a deer loves a cornfield. is is safe. it is nourishing. the third panel depicts a deer eating corn. The caption reads: It is in its DNA to want to be there. go hide. to eat. to play. a comic page with three panels on top of an image taking up the majority of the canvas. the first panel depicts an arm reaching up to a deer's antler. the arm is yellow and green with leaves growing out of it. the caption says: You are very much like a cornstalk. second panel depicts the person from the first page in profile. the caption says: you are loved and you are benign. better than benign. in the third panel, there are two hands, each holding a corn cob. the arms are reminiscent of cornstalks. the caption says: you are a contribution to this world. in the bottom of the canvas, there's a deer eating corn. the caption says: the cornstalk is unaware that a deer loves it so much- three panels. first one depicts a corncob lying on the ground, looking like it was partially eaten. the caption reads: -that it will bend and stomp on it, until its edible morsels spill put from its crumpled, empty husks. second panel depicts the dark silhouettes of cornstalks against green background. the caption reads: the cornstalks - there are so many cornstalks - the third panel is a close-up on a deer eating corn. the caption reads: do not understand they are so loved by the deer as to be devoured.
