New profile pic, finally done with updating due to my frequent hair changes.

Btw @telaricles.bsky.social is my side profile for the dirtier 🔞 stuff I paint.
A fragment of a painting combined with collage showing a top view from shoulders-up of a blushing woman with long, white hair and wearing a white shirt and blue tie with silver pattern. The background is composed of bits of pages from an old, yellowed book, and a marbled pink paper. Nothing explicit is shown in this fragment.

A little late a little one for Omekade 🐙
A composition of 9 images arranged in 3 rows of squares. The middle one is in color, showing the watercolor cover of Omekade manga. The remaining 8 surrounding it are all black and white, painted with black ink.

Good question. I don't know if I'd call it direct inspiration, more like general vibes? If that works.
Cover for first volume of OMEKADE manga, painted with watecolor. It shows a broken Japanese Noh mask, overgrown with moss and bright orange and yellow fungi. All vegetation is purple. A large, misshapen centipede is crawling through the eye hole, and mutated flowers are hanging over it. A stylised font in calm yellow shows the title at the top of the cover, below is number 1, and in bottom left corner there's the name of the author, Telari.

Cover for Tomie, volume 1, by horror manga artist Itou Junji.

Six: my favourite artwork (doesn't have to be a panel or a page). I'll keep it Omekade related, which means that will be the cover for the second volume. I painted it with Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints and I absolutely love it. In general, I'm really happy with both of the covers I've made so far.
Cover of the second volume of Omekade manga. Painted in intense, but dark colors, it shows the main character Akira from a slightly above angle. They are glaring upwards, arms tied back in a tangle of tentacle-like shapes, which are also sprouting from non-bloody gashes in their chest and neck, as well as from their nose and one eye. A bunch of them also form a sort of crooked halo behind Akira's head. Blueish glow is spreading from behind their head in a vaguely cross formation, as well as from the holes in their neck. Under their skin, the gashes are filled with more of the tentacles instead of flesh. The background is a cloudly purple. Dark purple stylised font says "Omekade" at the top of the cover page, under it there's a number 2 of the volume, and author's name Telari is in the bottom left corner.

Five: my favourite panel so far. Hard to pick, since I like plenty for different reasons. I think so far, chapter 9 has the most that I really love. But here goes? A little cheating since it's a page and not a single panel.
Page 33 of chapter 9 of Omekade manga. Painted with black ink in greyscale, it has 3 panels. The first panel, reading from right to left, takes up half of the page sliced vertically top to bottom. It's an aerial view landscape of grassy hills going down to a sea in the distance. It's very windy, there are 3-winged windmills spread on the hills, and there's a town visible in the far distance. Stratified white clouds are on the sky horizon. Text in a speech bubble with no direction says "Yeah, all that wind is good for. Omi likes it though, she's loved flying kites since she was a kid." The second panel shows a sitting character from waist up, from the back, long black hair moving in the wind. The background is blurry, filled with dotted light effects. A speech bubble directed from the character says "Lan's my little brother, and Omi and Kaia are our cousins." The third panel shows an airborne, vaguely triangle-shaped kite with lots of ribbons in the foreground. In the background, four children are seen on a grassy hill. One of them is standing and controlling the kite, to their right a second one is sitting on the ground, reading a book, and two more are approaching them uphill, holding hands and waving in greeting. Speech bubble says "Well, were..."

Four! The antagonists. It's a bit of a tricky one, since while there are enemies to the main protagonists, the plot doesn't revolve around their conflict. And the only other one that could be vaguely put in that place, I would say is more of a deuteragonist. But if we're talking awful, here's Joyce.
A panel cropped from OMEKADE manga. Painted with black ink in greyscale, it shows a portrait shot of a shocked, scared woman with short hair and a bandage diagonally covering a half of her head. The bandage is soaking through with blood coming from the area of her covered eye. A tentacle-like formation is spreading in the background unbeknownst to her. A speech bubble directed at someone off-screen shows a question "Rip my throat out?".

One! My comic is titled OMEKADE and it's a play on the Japanese word for a centipede, (o)mukade, and "mecha", or as it is written in katakana literally "meka", so it sort of turns into a mechanical centipede. It's sci-fi with a splatter of horror.
Cover for first volume of OMEKADE manga, painted with watecolor. It shows a broken Japanese Noh mask, overgrown with moss and bright orange and yellow fungi. All vegetation is purple. A large, misshapen centipede is crawling through the eye hole, and mutated flowers are hanging over it. A stylised font in calm yellow shows the title at the top of the cover, below is number 1, and in bottom left corner there's the name of the author, Telari.

Commission for a cover on a blank version of Martwa Woda (Dead Water) from Wydział 7 (Division 7), made for A.S. Watercolor plus acrylics details.
Cover painting for a comic, presenting a pair of rotting zombie hands. Some fingers are missing, some nails are missing from the remaining fingers. One of the hands is almost blue-black, and both are covered in tiny bright red and orange fungi.

A little painting of Wu I made in October, also to organise a new "draw this in your style" challenge over at my insta. Really happy how it turned out! Done with Kuretake Gansai Tambi in my A4 sketchbook.
Painting of a character from Omekade manga leaning on a windowsill of a irregular oval window, surrounded by drooping, purple vines. The character, named Wu, has long black hair with a part tied up, and vivid red markings on their face. They are wearing a puffy sleeved, white shirt and dark grey robes over it, and a burgundy triangle shawl around his neck. They are looking dreamily to the side with a small smile.
