Watercolor illustration in progress of Beserk imagery. Godhand reaches towards the eclipse with Femto (Griffith) on one side and Child Griffith looking up at the castle through Gut's face. Shadow people in the foreground.

A picture of a young man in a yellow shirt pointing at someone off camera. He says something that any decent person would have no problem with.

Hello, #artsky #animesky & #mangasky Today I'm painting scenes from the most DEVASTATING portion out of all the animes and manga TO STAY IN GOOD MENTAL-HEALTH.

That's right, I'm painting The Festival/ Eclipse scene from Berserk.

In watercolor. It's gonna be neat.

Here's a peek:
Sketch illustration of a screaming egg-face. It's the Egg of The King. The Behelit. A massive arm with a red symbol extends towards an eclipse. From Beserk.

"GRRRRIIIFFIIIIIIIIITH!"

Sketching out a little something to watercolor later. Just one of the most devastating scenes in all of anime/manga history. No big deal.

Pencil sketch art of one of the most devastating scenes in all of manga and anime history. The Eclipse from Berserk. A massive arm extends out of a pool of liquid towards an eclipse. The Godhand. On the right, the face of Femto, formerly Griffith. On the left, a boy looks up towards a castle, but there is a screaming one-eyed face in front of him. The face of Guts.

This may be the best Alt Text I have ever written:
Screenshot of Bluesky Alt Text interface with screenshot from film Super Troopers with the Descriptive alt text reading: a man with beautiful brown skin and a majestic mustache in a State Trooper's uniform is typing on a computer keyboard. "ENHANCE" flashes in large black text. Another man in a similar uniform looks at him with disappointment in his eyes.

Berserk anime is hitting just the right spot for me in my disassociative-journey right now.

It's so much better the second time around. With more cynicism, exhaustion and rage in your heart.
