'Intruders' It was a frosty winter evening in a distant land called Vinland, pristine land discovered by Leif Eriksson. Midwinter, a few days before the Yule celebration. A small group of Vikings, led by Knut Ironhand, ventured deep into the forest in pursuit of a band of native warriors.They found a strange glade, full of weird wooden structures and ancient, mysterious totems. There was something unnatural in this place that sent a chill down their spines. A young warrior Halfdan, very superstitious and God-fearing by nature, was particularly concerned.  - I don't like it, I don't like this place, we should go back to the camp. I think this could be some kind of burial ground or place of worship. We don't know their customs. What if we anger some powerful ancient deities or demons? - Burial ground you say? Good! So we will certainly find some treasures here, buried by these savages! You better start looking, before the rest find out about this place and beat us to it. Knut said. - Last night before the attack, you took that native girl against her will, you shouldn't do that Knut, maybe she was some kind of priestess or witch... maybe she put a curse on us. - Stop whining like an old woman, they never want it but they always like it, haha. Knut laughed loudly. - It's too quiet... I have a bad feeling about this. We should go back! Halfdan's voice was shaking. - You always have a bad feeling about everything. You're starting to bore me, better sing me a song, Halfdan. And why do you smell like a wet dog... Halfdan?!

The story of the last day of  Knut Ironhand and his company in the wild land called Vinland. 

 A historical fact of an unusual clash of two of my favorite and most interesting peoples and cultures, Northmen and Native American. Could there be anything more inspiring, fascinating and stimulating the imagination? Endless source of inspiration! work process: https://jrozalski.com/

Dark fantasy Deltarune

1. About the Drawing's Message

I redesigned Kris from the game Deltarune in a dark fantasy style 🥀⚔ . The quote is taken from the game and was used by the priest; I believe it fits the grim context related to Undertale’s genocide route. I think there's a connection between these games, so I depicted it through intertwined roots and images of the main characters on stained glass as part of a prophecy:

"An ‘angel’ who has seen the surface will return and the underground will go empty."

In Undertale, this prophecy has two interpretations: the first pertains to the pacifist route, where the underground will empty when the monsters are freed by the angel and reach the surface; the second suggests the underground will empty when the angel (the player) destroys everyone. I decided to use the second, more eerie interpretation because I enjoy portraying dark themes, and I want to use it in my future works. It also suits the vibe for a dark fantasy adaptation.

2. Upcoming Project and Why I Disappeared

I’m still alive :D I haven't posted any work for a while because I took on a large project and haven’t been able to complete it yet. It will be a series of about 12 full illustrations for an Undertale song; I want to create it as a music video. Thank you for staying with me and being active every day, it means a lot to me! 💞✨

3. Rebranding

I've reflected on the essence of my art and want to connect it with dark themes. I enjoy adding a dark undertone to fan art of my favorite franchises, Undertale and Deltarune. From now on, I will be known as catty cupid 💘 (not a cat cupid, but a sinister one). I chose this nickname deliberately because cupid usually conveys the bright concept of love, but in contrast with the dark theme, I decided to distort this concept and share eerie drawings. I also want to create a mascot, update my design, and change my avatar; these changes will be coming soon!
